This is a 12 inch 3/4-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from GSlide's G-Slide series, rated 100 lb per pair, with an integrated soft-close damper that settles shallow drawers shut quietly every time.
A 12 inch slide is the right call when the cabinet is genuinely shallow: bathroom vanities, nightstand drawers, small base cabinets built into a peninsula end, or island spice drawers where the interior depth is limited. At 3/4 extension, the drawer opens enough to reach everything inside a shallow box without overhanging the cabinet opening. The soft-close feature is especially worthwhile in these tight spaces — a bathroom vanity or bedroom application is exactly the context where a slamming drawer stands out most.
The G-Slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish. Zinc is the workhorse finish for side-mount ball bearing slides: it resists the humidity of an indoor cabinet environment without adding bulk or cost. This is a functional, behind-the-scenes finish on a slide that rides beside the drawer box, visible only when the drawer is pulled open.
Cabinet shops and installers working on bathroom vanities, bedroom furniture, and compact kitchen inserts will find the 12 inch length useful where longer slides simply do not fit. Homeowners retrofitting a nightstand or shallow storage unit get a smooth, quiet result without changing the drawer box width — the standard 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the same as any other slide in this class. Because the design is non-handed, ordering is straightforward: one pair covers one drawer, left side and right side identical.
No. 12 inches is the closed length of the slide. At 3/4 extension, the drawer travels roughly three-quarters of that length before reaching the end of travel, so the back portion of the drawer stays inside the cabinet at full open.
Soft-close uses a damper to slow the drawer over the last portion of its travel, so it arrives at the closed position quietly and without slamming. Self-close uses a spring or ramp to pull the drawer shut, but there is no damping — the drawer can still close with a snap. The G-Slide GS4270 is soft-close: damped and controlled.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are interchangeable. Order one pair per drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support because the cabinet side is set back from the front frame. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your cabinet construction — they are sold separately and are series-specific.
Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide.
When the cabinet is shallow and the setting is one where a slamming drawer is noticed, this 12 inch soft-close ball bearing slide delivers the controlled close and smooth travel the application calls for — in a compact format that fits where longer slides cannot.
