So you have decided to install new cabinets in your kitchen in Dana Point. With so
many cabinet options on the market, it can be a challenging task deciding which
cabinets are suitable for your needs. Before you make your choice, you should
compare a number of options so as to avoid regretting your selection later on.
As you compare different cabinets, you will need to determine if the ones you want
to buy have undermount, soft-close drawer glides. Cabinets need to have high quality
drawer glides (slides) to support the smooth and silent movement of your
cabinet drawers over years of hard use. Remember that the more weight your
drawers carry, the greater the necessity for heavy-duty glides. Weak glides
could lead to sagging, loose, or stick cabinet drawers.
Undermount,steel, soft-close drawer glides should be able to extend in order to provide
full access to the entire drawer. Ball bearings and steel guides are essential
for providing smooth operation and longer wear. Mounted beneath the drawer box,
the glides need to be rated to support a heavy load: at least 90 pounds.
Adjustable glides with a soft-close (anti-slam) dampening system will be almost
silent when opening and closing the drawer.
There are many other drawer-glide systems and mechanisms that cabinet manufacturers
use. A common construction uses epoxy-coated metal with plastic rollers, but
the problem with these materials is that they are subject to wear.
Center-mountand side-mount glides rarely provide full access. Instead, about 25% of the
drawer remains inside the cabinet, making it difficult to reach the back of the
drawer. Side-mounted glides reduce the width of the drawer, something that
reduces storage space.
