Salice Futura 18" Soft-Close Full Extension 75 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, A7555/457 CP6

Undermount Drawer Slide For Soft-Close Performance in Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Salice Futura is an 18 inch full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer slide built for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides, fitting both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction. It mounts completely beneath the box, keeping all hardware out of sight when the drawer is open.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, putting the back of the box within reach.
• Integrated Smove soft-close damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently.
• Fits 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides, covering the standard dovetailed and doweled box thickness used in most production and custom shops.
• Face-frame and frameless compatibility makes this one slide suitable across both cabinet construction styles.
• Roller-bearing carriage on steel members with a zinc finish delivers smooth, consistent travel and long indoor service life.
• 75 lb weight capacity per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen or bath drawer.

Where This Slide Earns Its Place

Kitchen drawers — spice pull-outs, utensil drawers, and shallow upper drawers — are where an 18 inch concealed slide with soft-close does its best work. The drawer sits low and clean on the Futura runners, so there is nothing to distract from a finished interior. Because this version accepts both face-frame and frameless construction, it fits into the same shop workflow whether the run is traditional American boxes or European frameless cases. At 75 lb per pair, it is well matched to the typical loaded kitchen drawer without being oversized for the application.

Build and Finish

Steel members and a zinc finish give the Futura runners durable indoor service life. The roller-bearing carriage runs quietly under load and holds its feel over years of daily cycling. The concealed position beneath the box means the zinc finish works hard as a functional surface rather than a decorative one — it protects the steel through regular use without needing to match the cabinet interior. Fixing clips for the Salice Futura system are series-specific and must be the correct Futura accessories; clips from other undermount brands will not seat on these runners.

Who Orders This Slide

Cabinet shops building mid-range to premium residential kitchens reach for this slide when the spec calls for concealed hardware and soft-close on standard 5/8 inch box stock. Designers specifying handle-less or minimal-hardware interiors rely on the fully hidden runner to keep the look clean. Contractors and remodelers replacing worn slides or upgrading an existing kitchen benefit from the dual face-frame and frameless compatibility, which reduces the chance of ordering the wrong version for a mixed job. The 18 inch length suits base cabinet drawers in the 18 inch nominal depth range — the most common size in residential kitchen work.

The Right Concealed Slide for Standard Box Stock

The Salice Futura in the 18 inch length gives shops and installers a clean, soft-close undermount that works across both common cabinet constructions — build the box to spec, add the series hardware for your cabinet type, and the drawer hangs concealed and closes silently.
