Grass Dynapro Undermount Slide for Short and Shallow Drawers

The Grass Dynapro 9 inch soft-close undermount is a full-extension concealed runner built for small drawers that still demand premium performance — spice trays, cutlery inserts, bathroom vanity drawers, and any shallow pull-out where a standard-length slide simply will not fit. It runs on roller bearings, closes on an integrated soft-close damper, and carries 100 lb per pair.

Key Features

• Full extension in 9 inches — the entire drawer box comes out to the cabinet face, giving unobstructed access even in a compact pull-out.
• Integrated soft-close — a built-in liquid damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• 100 lb capacity per pair — rated for loaded small drawers, from dense hardwood boxes to fully stocked spice trays.
• Face-frame and frameless compatibility — one slide version works in both cabinet constructions with the appropriate mounting hardware.
• 5 mm side clearance — tighter than a standard side-mount slide, keeping the concealed profile clean beneath the box.
• Roller-bearing carriage, steel construction, zinc finish — durable indoor hardware that stays smooth through years of daily cycling.

Where This Slide Fits the Job

Nine inches is a short nominal length, and that is exactly the point. This slide is the right tool for drawers that cannot use longer runners: the narrow spice pull-out flanking a range, a shallow bathroom vanity drawer, the pencil tray in a built-in desk, or a small accent cabinet where depth is limited. The 10-3/4 inch minimum installation depth means the cabinet needs just under 11 inches of interior clearance to accept the slide, making it viable in applications where an 18 or 21 inch slide would never fit. Full extension means the back of even a 9 inch box is reachable — nothing stays buried.

Materials and Construction

The Dynapro runner is built from steel with a zinc finish, engineered for indoor cabinet work. The roller-bearing carriage delivers smooth, consistent travel under load — the same Dynapro platform used across longer lengths in the series. Soft-close is integrated into the slide body, not an add-on clip, so the damping is calibrated to the slide rather than approximated. The zinc finish is a functional indoor surface; it is concealed beneath the drawer box in use.

Who Should Order This Slide

Cabinet shops running a standard Dynapro undermount program will find this length a natural extension of their existing system — same locking devices, same installation spec, same box-building workflow, just sized for the shallow drawers in a project. Designers specifying built-ins with mixed drawer depths can call the same Dynapro family across the entire piece. Homeowners replacing a worn slide in a shallow vanity or kitchen tray drawer will find this the correct class of replacement. Build the drawer box to the Grass Dynapro specification for this length: nominal 9 inch box, 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides, correct width, bottom recess, and rear notch. In a face-frame cabinet, add the matching Dynapro rear mounting brackets, sold separately. Front locking devices are Dynapro-specific and are sold separately as well.

The Right Slide for Drawers That Others Cannot Reach

When the project calls for a concealed, full-extension, soft-close runner in the shortest workable length, the Grass Dynapro 9 inch delivers the same rated performance and the same installation discipline as its longer siblings — in the footprint that shallow drawers actually require.
