Concealed Soft-Close Undermount Slide For Small and Shallow Drawers

The Grass Elite Plus 9 inch undermount drawer slide is a full-extension, soft-close concealed runner built for compact drawers with sides up to 5/8 inch thick. It mounts out of sight beneath the drawer box in both face-frame and frameless cabinets, delivering clean hardware-free interiors where short slide lengths are the right fit.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire 9 inch drawer to the cabinet face, giving complete access to the back of even a shallow box.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently, without slamming.
• 75 lb capacity per pair handles the real weight of a fully stocked spice drawer, small utensil tray, or bathroom vanity box.
• Fits 5/8 inch drawer sides (and sides as thin as 1/2 inch), the standard thickness for dovetailed and doweled drawer boxes.
• Compatible with face-frame and frameless cabinets, giving installers flexibility across build styles.
• Steel construction with zinc finish and a roller-bearing carriage for smooth, consistent travel across years of daily use.

Where a 9 Inch Slide Earns Its Place

Short slides are the right tool for a specific class of work: upper cabinet drawers, narrow bathroom vanity drawers, small base cabinet accessory drawers, and bank-of-drawers builds where shallow boxes stack vertically. At 9 inches, this Elite Plus slide also suits island and peninsula cabinets with shallow depth on the secondary side, and small utility or bedroom furniture drawers that need a clean look without exposed hardware. Full extension at this length means nothing hides at the back of the box — every inch of a 9 inch drawer opens to the front.

Steel, Zinc, and Roller Bearings Built for Indoor Cabinetry

The slide members are formed steel with a zinc finish, durable through years of indoor service and fully concealed beneath the box once the drawer is installed. The roller-bearing carriage runs quietly under load, keeping travel smooth whether the drawer is empty or carrying its rated 75 lb. Because the slide is hidden during use, the zinc finish functions as corrosion protection rather than a decorative element — the right material for a working slide that no one is meant to see.

Who Specifies This Slide

Cabinet shops building bathroom vanity banks, stacked small-drawer inserts, or kitchen upper rollout trays reach for this slide when the drawer depth calls for a short runner and the job still demands a clean, concealed finish with soft-close motion. Designers specifying handle-less fronts on compact drawers benefit from the concealed mount. Homeowners replacing worn hardware on a shallow vanity or jewelry chest get a slide that drops into either cabinet construction without requiring a reframe. For 3/4 inch drawer material, select the matching 3/4 inch side-thickness version of the Elite Plus line instead of this model.
