Do these drawer slides stay closed when a cabinet is tilted forward?
1531807
No, there is no latching mechanism. The self-closing feature is dependent on a very slicht slope at the ent of the sliders.

They are self closing hinges which means that at the end of their travel the back of the slide kind of drops down slightly to help them close. I don't know what you mean by the cabinet tilted forward. Any cabinet I know of is usually level. If the cabinet is tilted forward the drawer will probably slip out a bit.

They will stay closed up to a point. If the cabinet is slightly tilted, say 20 degrees off perpendicular, the drawers should remain closed. But anything beyond 30 degrees will probably result in an open drawer. Especially if it is loaded. These are not designed to be used in a cruise ship type enviorment.

Hello Tami;The drawers don't have locks on them. You can only open one drawer at a time though. This is to keep the cabinet from tipping. I hope this helps.

Check the alignment of the slides, both parts, to make sure they are parallel and installed at the same position on each side of the drawer. Another possibility is the slide movement is being impeded by the head of a screw.

When you slide anything over this product, it will move. I have it in all my drawers and put double-sided tape along the front edge to hold it, otherwise it slides back every time I close the drawer.

doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you... » Read More doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. « Show Less

My drawers don't have drawer glides, but they slide pretty smoothly. There's not much friction interfering with the sliding of the drawers.

I used them sideways in my drawer...and don't remember if they expanded the 18 or so inches I would have needed from back to front. By the way I'm using it in a top drawer in the bathroom which is usually a bit more shallow than some drawers, so once in a while it will drag as it is opened or closed.

They are based on my definition- of course when opening, it stops with about 3 inches left inside the cabinet. One caution- I have almost tipped mine a couple times because I did not anchor it, and with both drawers open it will tip. I love mine!

I haven't had that problem. They are ball bearing type and I installed them in a large drawer for pots and pans. Operate smoothly and a major upgrade from the cabinet manufacturers slides.

They do not come apart. The holes in the drawer side track align with the mounting holes in the cabinet side. Just install screws through the holes. The drawer is not removable without taking out the screws. This was an extremely heavy duty weight bearing slide and worked for my application. It has obvious limitations for cabinet use as adjustment is a problem.

Yes. However the front of the drawers are all the same size, so they look the same size when they're closed.

That is somewhat subjective...but I'm satisfied with the way the drawers open and close. I haven't had them torque to one side or bind up when closing them. But I generally use the center of the drawer when closing a drawer. There is some play, but nothing that has caused a problem. And they stay shut when you close them. The doors on the cabinets have quite a bit more play, particularly the tall cabinet, but I haven't had an issue getting it shut and locked.

The drawer slides straight. If the lip protrudes downward it will interfere with the drawer sliding out.

If you mean do the slides stop at the end of travel, yes they do. You cannot pull the drawer all the way out and have it fall on the floor. At the end of it's travel, you have to squeeze a plastic side clip in on each side to release the drawer and it will then come out. Hope this helps. I used mine vertically to make a rolling out spice rack and it works great.

My two drawers are both filed with files so if one is open, there is no problem with tipping. However if both are open, obviously it does tip.

The drawers don't have sliders. They have grooves in them that guide them along a track that's built into the cabinet. The drawers do pull out smoothly, but since they don't have sliders extending their range they don't quite pull all the way out. I'd say the drawers pull out about 4/5 of the way.

Yes, they are used as a drawer slide; one goes on either side of the drawer. They are extremely strong and we are pleased.
