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

Salice Futura 18 Push To Open Undermount Slides

Salice Futura 18 push to open undermount slides are full extension drawer slides designed for concealed under-drawer mounting, so the hardware stays out of sight while the drawer travels its full length. The load rating of 100 lb static and 75 lb dynamic supports typical residential and light commercial drawer loads during everyday operation. The push-to-open function uses a light tap on the drawer front to trigger opening, which removes the need for pulls or handles in clean-face cabinet designs. These slides are designed for drawer boxes using 16 mm, or 5/8 inch, maximum drawer material, which guides sizing decisions when building or ordering drawer boxes. Exceptional stability with no drawer sag when open keeps fronts aligned and prevents rubbing on adjacent fronts when the drawer is fully extended. Salice America manufactures these Futura undermount slides as ANSI/BHMA grade 1 certified hardware.

Key Working Details For Drawer Slide Performance

• The 100 lb static, 75 lb dynamic load rating supports typical drawer contents during both resting and movement, which helps maintain smooth slide function under normal cabinet use.
• Full extension travel lets the drawer open to the back of the box, improving access to stored items along the entire length of an 18 inch drawer.
• The push-to-open feature uses a slight push on the front of the drawer to trigger self-opening, which suits handle-free fronts and reduces hardware on the door face.
• Design for 16 mm, or 5/8 inch, maximum drawer material keeps side clearances consistent, which supports predictable fit when building or installing drawer boxes.
• Exceptional stability with no drawer sag when open helps fronts stay level and aligned, which reduces adjustments caused by tilted drawer boxes under load.
• ANSI/BHMA grade 1 certification indicates the slides meet a recognized performance standard, which matters where projects call for tested drawer hardware.
• Tool-free operation of 6 way adjustments allows front alignment changes without tools, which speeds fine-tuning during cabinet installation or service.

Mounting, Adjustment, And Drawer Construction Fit

These Salice America Futura undermount drawer slides install beneath the drawer box as undermount hardware, allowing the sides of the drawer to remain clean and unobstructed. Design for 16 mm, or 5/8 inch, maximum drawer material defines the side thickness the slide geometry expects, so drawer boxes can be built to match the slide design. Tool-free operation of 6 way adjustments lets installers dial in vertical, lateral, and depth alignment without picking up a screwdriver, which is useful when working through a full kitchen or bank of drawers. Full extension travel means the 18 inch slides support drawers that open their full depth, which keeps the back of the box visible and reduces blind storage.

Using These Slides In Cabinet And Drawer Projects

Where Salice Futura 18 Slides Are Applied

These undermount drawer slides fall within the drawer slides and accessories category, specifically as undermount drawer slides, so they are suited to projects that call for concealed runners under the drawer. The 18 inch length aligns with medium-depth drawers commonly used in kitchen base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and utility cabinets where full extension is valuable. A load rating of 100 lb static and 75 lb dynamic supports everyday loading of utensils, small tools, or household supplies, which helps keep motion consistent through the life of the installation. Design for 16 mm, or 5/8 inch, maximum drawer material directs use with drawer boxes that match this wall thickness, which supports correct engagement with the slide mechanism during opening and closing.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The full extension, push-to-open construction allows drawers to open completely with just a slight push on the drawer front, which helps standardize user experience across a run of handle-free cabinets. Exceptional stability with no drawer sag when open helps fronts stay parallel to adjacent doors and fronts, reducing callbacks to correct rubbing or misalignment under load. Tool-free operation of 6 way adjustments provides a structured method for fine-tuning face gaps and reveals, which is important when installing multiple drawers in aligned banks. ANSI/BHMA grade 1 certification confirms that the Salice A7557/457 CP6 slides meet a defined performance level, supporting projects that specify tested hardware for drawer motion.
