Salice Futura 9" Soft-Close Full Extension 75 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, A7555/229 CP6

Full-Extension Soft-Close in a 9 Inch Runner That Fits the Smallest Drawers

The Salice Futura 9 inch undermount slide brings concealed, full-extension travel and integrated soft-close to compact drawer applications — spice drawers, vanity inserts, nightstand boxes, and any other short-run drawer that still deserves a finished, hardware-free look. Roller-bearing steel construction, zinc finish, and Futura's series-specific clip system keep this runner in the same quality tier as longer Futura models, just sized down for boxes where a standard-length slide simply will not fit.

Key Features

• Full extension — the entire drawer box comes out to the cabinet face, so nothing stays buried at the back of a shallow opening.
• Integrated soft-close — Futura's Smove damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it silently shut without a separate add-on.
• 75 lb capacity per pair — rated to handle loaded compact drawers well within safe working limits.
• Compatible with 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides — fits both dovetailed and doweled box construction in the standard thickness range.
• Suits face-frame and frameless cabinets — one slide model covers both construction types with the appropriate series-specific rear hardware.
• Roller-bearing steel with zinc finish — durable indoor construction that runs quietly and stays out of sight beneath the box.

Where a 9 Inch Slide Does the Work a Longer Runner Cannot

Compact drawers are easy to shortchange with a mediocre slide because the openings are small and the contents light. The Futura 9 inch runner is the answer when a cabinet layout demands a short box and the finished look still matters. Think of the narrow spice drawer tucked beside an oven column, the shallow vanity insert below a sink, the nightstand drawer that needs to open cleanly without a pull, or the upper cabinet accent drawer that a 12 or 14 inch slide physically cannot occupy. Full extension means every inch of that short box is reachable — not three-quarters of it. Soft-close means the front does not rattle or bounce regardless of how light the box is. These are the details that separate a finished cabinet from one that just functions.

Steel Construction Built for Indoor Service

The Futura runner is stamped steel with a zinc finish — the right call for a slide that lives concealed beneath the drawer box in a dry interior environment. Roller bearings carry the box smoothly across its 9 inch travel under loads up to 75 lb per pair, and the zinc finish protects the steel through years of daily cycling. Because the slide is hidden when the drawer is open, the finish is a functional spec rather than a decorative one. The Smove damper that delivers soft-close is built into the runner body; there is nothing separate to install, adjust, or replace.

Who Reaches for the 9 Inch Futura

Custom cabinet shops speccing a full kitchen of Futura slides reach for the 9 inch when the layout calls for compact accent drawers alongside standard-depth boxes — keeping the same runner family throughout. Residential installers and designers fitting vanity inserts or nightstand builds choose it when the drawer depth is fixed and a concealed, damped slide is non-negotiable. Homeowners replacing worn or noisy slides in existing short-drawer furniture find it a direct fit for 1/2 to 5/8 inch box sides in either face-frame or frameless cases. Wherever the drawer is short, the Futura 9 inch keeps the quality consistent.

The Right Runner for the Drawer That Has to Be Short

When the box is 9 inches and the finish still matters, the Futura gives you full extension, silent close, and a concealed look — without compromise on the specs that count.
