Salice Futura 12" Push-to-Open Full Extension 100 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, A7557/305 CP6

Push-to-Open Access and a Compact 12 Inch Fit

The Salice Futura 12 inch push-to-open undermount is a concealed, full-extension drawer slide built for handle-less fronts in compact drawers. A light press on the front ejects the drawer; it closes without hardware showing and without a handle in the way. Rated 100 lb per pair and made for drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick, it suits both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction.

Key Features

• Push-to-open mechanism ejects the drawer with a gentle press on the handle-less front, no pull or knob required.
• Full extension brings the entire 12 inch drawer box out to the cabinet face for complete access to the contents.
• 100 lb capacity per pair handles loaded small drawers, spice pull-outs, and bathroom storage comfortably.
• Compatible with 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides, covering standard dovetailed and doweled box construction.
• Suits face-frame and frameless cabinets, so it works across traditional and modern cabinet builds.
• Fully concealed beneath the drawer box with steel construction and a zinc finish for lasting indoor service.

Where the 12 Inch Length Earns Its Place

Short drawers demand a short slide, and the 12 inch Futura push-to-open fits the applications that longer undermounts cannot: base cabinet spice drawers, bathroom vanity small-item drawers, island end drawers, and shallow upper-cabinet pull-outs. In a handle-less kitchen or bath layout, these are exactly the spots where the absence of a pull looks cleanest and where a push-open mechanism makes the most sense. The 12 inch length also works in furniture pieces — nightstands, bedside tables, and built-in benches — where a concealed slide keeps the design uncluttered. Full extension means the whole box comes out, so even a short drawer gives up nothing in usability.

Construction and Closing Behavior

Steel members with a zinc finish give the slide durability for years of indoor residential and light commercial use. The roller-bearing carriage keeps travel smooth and consistent across the 12 inch run. On the motion side, this is a mechanical push-to-open model: the drawer ejects with a press and closes freely without a damper. It is the right choice when handle-less opening is the priority. If a damped, silent close matters more than touch opening on this drawer, a soft-close Futura model is the better fit for the application. The two functions are separate models in the Futura line and do not combine in this version.

What to Know Before You Order

This slide is built for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides; build the box to Salice's published specification for the Futura series, including the correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and drilling for Futura front locking clips. The locking clips are Futura-specific and do not interchange with other brands or series. In face-frame cabinets, the slide's rear end needs the matching Futura rear mounting brackets — these are series-specific and sold separately. In frameless cabinets, the slide fastens directly to the cabinet side panel. Leave the front gap the push-to-open mechanism needs to travel; a front set too tight against the cabinet face will prevent the trigger from firing. This is one slide from a large Futura family, so matching lengths, side-thickness versions, and motion options are available across the line.
