King Slide 22" Soft-Close Side Mount Full Extension 75 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 280-975

Soft-Close Side-Mount Ball Bearing Slides For Quieter Kitchen and Cabinet Drawers

This is a 22 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from King Slide, rated 75 lb per pair, with an integrated soft-close damper that settles the drawer shut quietly at the end of every close cycle. It mounts on the sides of the drawer box, one slide per side, on standard 1/2 inch side clearance.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damper catches the drawer in the last portion of travel and closes it without slamming.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening so nothing stays hidden at the back.
• 75 lb load rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen or office drawer well within the working limit.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench.
• Steel construction with zinc finish provides lasting corrosion resistance for indoor cabinet work.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing footprint for straightforward sizing.

Where Damped Closing Makes the Difference

Side-mount ball bearing slides carry drawers smoothly in both directions, but the closing stroke is where this slide earns its keep. The soft-close module catches the drawer near the end of its travel and slows it to a controlled, quiet stop every time — no slam, no bounce, no noise traveling through the cabinet box. That behavior matters most in kitchen drawers near a prep area, bedroom furniture where noise carries, and any cabinet where multiple drawers share a panel and a hard close rattles neighboring contents. Full extension means the entire interior is reachable when the drawer is open, so pots, pans, or deep pantry items at the back are not a reach-in dig.

Steel, Zinc, and the Closing Mechanism

The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the standard material and finish pairing for side-mount ball bearing slides in interior cabinet applications. Zinc plating handles the corrosion demands of a dry indoor environment through years of daily cycles. The soft-close damper is integrated into the slide assembly, so there are no separate add-on modules to install or adjust. This is not a self-close slide: there is no spring pulling the drawer home. The damper controls the final inch or so of the closing stroke; the drawer still needs a push to start moving toward closed.

Choosing This Slide for Your Project

At 22 inches, this slide suits standard kitchen base cabinet drawers and medium-depth furniture drawers — long enough for most production runs without reaching heavy-duty territory. The 75 lb per pair rating covers everyday kitchen and home office loads comfortably. Cabinet shops running soft-close kitchens in volume will find the non-handed format straightforward: both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no handed inventory to manage at the bench. Frameless and face-frame installs both work; in face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide and are sold separately. Side clearance is 1/2 inch per side, so the drawer box is sized 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

A Quieter Drawer, Every Time

For kitchen, furniture, and office drawers where soft, silent closing is the standard expectation, this 22 inch King Slide full-extension slide delivers that behavior in a straightforward side-mount format — same clearance, same mounting pattern, quieter result.
