Salice Futura 18" Push-to-Open Full Extension 100 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, A7557/457 CP6

Salice Futura Undermount Drawer Slide For Handle-Less Cabinet Fronts

The Salice Futura push-to-open undermount is an 18 inch concealed slide designed for drawer fronts with no visible hardware. A light press on the front triggers the mechanical ejector, and the drawer opens at full extension, bringing the entire box to the cabinet face. Rated 100 lb per pair, it fits drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch and installs in both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Push-to-open mechanism ejects the drawer with a light press on the handle-less front, no pulls or knobs required.
• Full extension brings the entire 18 inch drawer box out to the cabinet face so the full interior is reachable.
• 100 lb capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen and bath drawers without strain.
• Compatible with face-frame and frameless cabinets for broad installation flexibility.
• Roller-bearing carriage on steel members delivers a smooth, quiet pull across the full length of travel.
• Zinc finish protects the steel body through years of indoor service while the concealed position keeps it out of sight.

Where This Slide Fits the Job

This is the right slide for modern drawer runs where the design calls for a completely clean front face. Slab-front kitchen drawers, integrated appliance panels, and contemporary bath vanities all benefit from touch-release access instead of exposed hardware. At 100 lb per pair and full extension, the Futura push-to-open handles everything from a stacked flatware drawer to a deep pot drawer, bringing the full contents into reach with one press. In face-frame cabinets, the slide takes the matching series-specific rear mounting brackets; in frameless casework it mounts directly to the cabinet side panel.

Construction and Finish

The slide runs on a roller-bearing carriage between steel members finished in zinc. Because the Futura mounts entirely beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish is a working surface rather than a decorative one — it protects the steel through daily cycling while the concealed position keeps it invisible when the drawer is open. The push-to-open mechanism is mechanical, meaning no power supply or batteries are involved. Closing is a straightforward push; there is no damper on this model, so the drawer closes under your hand pressure rather than settling silently on a soft-close mechanism. If a damped close matters for the application, choose a soft-close Futura model instead.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops and designers specifying handle-less interiors are the primary buyers here. Contemporary kitchen projects with integrated fronts, handle-free furniture drawers, and accessible-design installations where a grab bar or pull is impractical all call for exactly this mechanism. The 18 inch length suits standard base cabinet drawer depths. The capacity and full-extension travel make it a practical choice for working drawers, not just display pieces. Homeowners replacing worn slides in an existing handle-less layout will find the Futura's installation straightforward when the box is already built to the correct specification.

The Right Mechanism for a Hardware-Free Front

When the design calls for a completely uninterrupted drawer front and full access to the drawer interior, the Futura push-to-open at 18 inches delivers both — with a 100 lb working capacity that keeps the slide in service through real kitchen use, not just showroom conditions.
