3600 Series 500 LB Full Extension Lock in/Out Drawer Slide (18inch)

Good, strong drawer slides. Used these for my drop down fridge slide.

The good - they are very solid - you literally can stand on them once installed.The bad - seriously one of the most finicky products we've ever had to set up. These work fine as stand alone drawers - meaning no front facade - like what you see in a work van or something like that.We build custom cabinets for adventure vans - and often, we use drawer fronts / facades on the drawers to conceal the contents - well the tolerances are so tight on these rails that even a few thousandths off makes them impossible to latch or unlatch smoothly. We built 11 vans with this product and eventually had to remove ALL of them as they simply did not work well.Buyer beware - use as standalone drawers is OK, but try to use flush mount facades / fronts will give you a lot of problems. Not the best latch design by any means. Also - sliders stick 1/2 way upon close - VERY annoying.We won't use them again.

These slides are very stout and I think they are going to last the long haul. Another reviewer had issues with them closing. I did as well and it was a result of a rubber bumper contacting the last mounting screw head. I haven't tried it yet but think trimming the bumper slightly will solve the problem. These are significantly cheaper than other similar slides so a great deal in my opinion. My main issue is that the do not separate so that you can mount one side to the drawer and one to the case and then combine. This can make mounting them a challenge. We took our time and so far so good. We also used ezlok inserts  E-Z Lok Threaded Insert, Zinc, Hex-Flanged, #10-24 Internal Threads, 0.394" Length (Pack of 50)  and  E-Z Lok Threaded Insert, Zinc, Hex-Flanged, 1/4"-20 Internal Threads, 13mm Length (Pack of 100) in the wood we have mounted them in for ease of removal and install. Our project isn't complete yet so we will update this when done. You can also see our install progress and thoughts on these by searching "brady adventures ryadon" on youtube

Love these slides, Tech support form the Folks at Ryadon was fantastic both pre and post sale.One warning: Always pull the slides out to the full extension or they may start to jam up. Ran into this with one of my drawers and sent an email to the support folks at the manufacturer. they replied:"After repeated cycles, if the slides are NOT pulled out to full extension, the ball strips will migrate. The only way to reset them is to pull the sliding assembly out to full extension to reset the ball strips. It may be a little difficult but that’s okay. You will have to force the sliding assembly to slip thru the ball strips to full extension."Resetting the ball strips took more force than I would have applied without their advice. All sliding well now.

This came with no instructions regarding bolt/screw sizes, are they left-right oriented. I emailed the company and received no response. After installation, the slide would not go all the way in. Turned out one of the bolts (pan head) protruded slightly too far. Wished I had known not to use them. Spent a lot of time and effort to fix this. After some frustration, finally got it re-installed and everything works fine. A word of caution. Make sure you adhere to the 3/4" dimensions for side clearance

Bought this cause it says It can handle up to 500LBS, but when it comes down to it the rails start to arch downward. Maybe Im pushing its limits. It worked fine the first few slides in and out, but now it's a struggle to push back in.

When I ordered these, I was unsure if it was going to be the quality that I was hoping for due to the fact that these are half the price of a lot of other heavy duty slides. The first thing I noticed when these came were how heavy they were -- they felt solid. They slide well, so far, and the locking pins engage well. For those on a budget, I'd definitely recommend these.The only issue I have is that there was no indication (at least obvious indication) that no mounting hardware comes with these...I was pretty disappointed about that as all slides I've ever purchased before came with the necessary hardware.

These worked perfectly for our slider that we made in the back of our campervan. Heavy-duty and works perfectly!
