Salice Futura 21" Push-to-Open Full Extension 100 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, A7557/533 CP6

Handle-Free Operation And Full Extension In A 21 Inch Concealed Runner

The Salice Futura push-to-open undermount is a full-extension concealed drawer slide built for handle-less cabinetry. A light press on the drawer front ejects the box cleanly; closing returns it flush. At 21 inches nominal length and rated 100 lb per pair, it suits the wider, deeper drawers common in base cabinet runs where pulls and knobs are not part of the design.

Key Features

• Mechanical push-to-open mechanism ejects the handle-less drawer front with a light press — no hardware on the front required.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face, giving access to everything stored at the back.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair handles heavily loaded kitchen and utility drawers.
• Compatible with both face-frame and frameless cabinets, expanding its range across traditional and modern builds.
• Fits drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch, covering the most common box material in the shop.
• Steel construction with zinc finish and roller-bearing travel for smooth, consistent performance over time.

Where Push-to-Open Earns Its Keep

Push-to-open makes the most sense on drawers where a clean, uninterrupted front is the design goal — think slab-door kitchen bases, integrated appliance panels, or contemporary bath vanities where any hardware breaks the visual line. The 21 inch length is well matched to deep base cabinet runs: pots-and-pans drawers, wide utensil banks, and lower cabinet stacks where the drawer box needs room. Because this is a plain mechanical push-to-open model, the drawer closes without a damper. The motion is positive and intentional, not cushioned. Shops specifying this slide should set that expectation with clients who are accustomed to soft-close travel — or specify the soft-close Futura model instead if damped closing is a requirement.

Construction and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give the slide its corrosion resistance for years of interior service. The roller-bearing carriage keeps travel smooth under load without requiring maintenance, and because the slide sits concealed beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish is functional rather than decorative. The Futura series uses Salice's own series-specific locking clips and fixing hardware — these are not interchangeable with other brands or other Salice lines, so order Futura accessories to match.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops building handle-less contemporary kitchens are the natural audience here. The 21 inch Futura push-to-open works in face-frame and frameless construction, which gives it real flexibility across mixed project types. Designers specifying hardware for handleless fronts will find the 100 lb per pair rating adequate for most residential drawer loads at this length. Homeowners retrofitting a kitchen renovation can use it in either cabinet style. The main selection discipline is side thickness: the slide is built for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides. Shops running 3/4 inch material should look at the 19mm Futura version instead.

The Right Slide for a Handle-Free Build

If the design calls for clean fronts, full drawer access, and a face that responds to a touch, the 21 inch Futura push-to-open delivers exactly that — specified to the drawer box and the cabinet construction it fits.
