The GSlide G-Slide GS4260 is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with a built-in push-to-open mechanism, rated 100 lb per pair, designed for handle-less drawer fronts where a press on the face ejects the drawer.
Push-to-open slides are specified when the design calls for a completely clean front: no pulls, no knobs, no edge grooves. A light press on the drawer front engages the mechanism and the drawer ejects, ready to open fully on its ball bearings. This is the slide to reach for on minimalist kitchen drawers, integrated appliance panels, and any run of cabinetry where hardware would break up the visual line. The 18 inch length suits standard base cabinet drawer depths, and the full-extension travel means the whole drawer contents are in view and in reach at full open — not just the front half.
One important note on motion: this is a plain mechanical push-to-open slide. The spring mechanism that ejects the drawer occupies the closing-feature position. This slide does not include a soft-close damper. If a damped close is required alongside handle-less opening, look for a combined push-to-open and soft-close system.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the functional standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in cabinet and furniture work. Zinc provides indoor corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance beside the open drawer box. The ball bearings run in continuous raceways the full length of the slide, keeping travel smooth and consistent even as load increases across the rated capacity.
Cabinet makers designing handle-less kitchens and built-ins are the primary audience for this slide. Designers and contractors working on modern residential projects where slab fronts run floor to ceiling will find push-to-open slides remove the last piece of visible hardware from the drawer stack. The 100 lb rating per pair covers the full range of household drawer loads — from light linen drawers to a fully loaded pots-and-pans drawer — without stepping up to a heavier-duty class. The non-handed, standard-clearance format keeps installation straightforward whether the shop builds five drawers or fifty.
Technically a pull can be mounted on the front, but the push-to-open spring is calibrated for a specific press force. In practice, most installations either use push-to-open without a pull or choose a standard slide and add a pull — mixing both on the same drawer is unusual and the mechanism is designed for the push-to-open use case.
Slide length and drawer travel are two different measurements. The 18 inch figure is the closed length of the slide. Because the slide is full extension, the drawer member travels approximately that full length, bringing the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening. The two numbers are close but not the same spec.
The GS4260 requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. This matches the standard side-mount ball bearing format.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the front frame, so the rear of the slide needs support. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series; brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
Confirm the sold-as unit on the product page before ordering — drawer slides in this segment are typically sold as pairs, but confirm the pack quantity listed to ensure you receive the correct number for your drawer count.
The GS4260 handles the full-extension, 100 lb side-mount job while removing hardware from the equation — a practical solution for every handle-less drawer in the build.
