Four Different Types of Drawer Slides

1.These are regular low-profile drawer slides, we call it painted drawer slides. They are inexpensive and easy to install, and are placed at the bottom of the drawer. Though they are not for drawers with a lot of weight to them, they are very good for drawers in nightstands or dressers, or even pullout trays in desks for keyboards. They can be found in any home improvement store. Get more painted slides.

2.There are ball-bearing type of slides. Two fold or there fold slides, because they can be positioned anywhere on the drawer (not just the bottom) and slide so smoothly. They are better at handling heavier drawers like the trash bin for the kitchen. Better ball bearing slide has soft close function. Get more ball bearing slides with soft close.

3.The Undermount drawer slides give you the maximum width provided in the drawer space. With under mount drawers, the drawer slide is attached to the bottom of the drawer as opposed to the side. Higher-quality cabinet lines use under mount drawer slides over side-mount slides. With under mounts drawer slides, you actually gain more interior space due to not having to compensate for the space of the slides on the side they are also slightly stronger than side mounts slides due to the weight being contained underneath. The sides of the drawer will remain bare because the metal slides will not be exposed. Get more undermount drawer slides.
