Installation Instructions for a Full Extension Drawer Slide

If your drawers are broken or you want to upgrade the drawer slide, install a full extension drawer slide. Full extension drawer slides are different than traditional drawer slides. Full extension drawer slides allow the drawer to be fully opened from the cabinet and are most commonly constructed using ball bearings. These bearings allow for a smooth and uniform movement. Full extension drawer slides are rated for 100 pounds.
