The GSlide G-Slide Series 18 inch full-extension ball bearing drawer slide pairs smooth telescopic travel with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer firmly shut until pulled. Rated 100 lb per pair, it mounts to the side of the drawer box and cabinet interior on 1/2 inch of clearance per side.
A standard-motion ball bearing slide stays wherever the drawer is left. The hold-in anti-rebound detent on this slide adds one specific behavior: a mechanical catch at the closed position that holds the drawer in place and prevents it from rebounding after a firm push. It does not spring the drawer shut the way a self-close mechanism does, and it does not slow the close the way a damper does. It simply holds. That matters in shop drawers that take a bump or slam, utility cabinets near heavy foot traffic, and anywhere a drawer that drifts back open is a nuisance or a hazard. Full extension means the whole interior is reachable at open, so this slide earns its keep on drawers that get used hard and need to stay put afterward.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides. Zinc protects the steel members through years of dry indoor service. This is a functional finish on a slide that lives beside the drawer box; it is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is not rated for wet or outdoor environments. The ball bearings run in full-length steel raceways for consistent travel across the slide's service life.
At 18 inches, this slide suits drawers in base cabinets with a standard 18 to 21 inch interior depth — a common dimension in kitchen base runs, shop benches, and utility storage. The 100 lb per pair rating covers most loaded household and light commercial drawers. The non-handed format means one SKU covers both sides of every drawer, which keeps the order simple for a cabinet shop running multiple boxes. In face-frame cabinets, the slide needs rear support at the back end; add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your cabinet construction, as those are sold separately and are series-specific. In frameless cabinets the slide mounts directly to the panel on the standard 32mm hole pattern.
No. Soft-close uses a damper to slow the drawer to a controlled, quiet close. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch: it holds the drawer shut and prevents rebound, but it does not slow the closing motion. There is no damper on this slide.
Yes. Full extension means the drawer member travels the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the back of the drawer is accessible.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
No. The G-Slide design is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical — order the quantity your drawer count requires and the same part fits either side.
Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting support at the back of the slide. Rear mounting brackets are sold separately and are specific to the slide series; confirm the correct bracket before ordering.
The G-Slide 18 inch full-extension ball bearing slide brings 100 lb capacity and full rear access to any drawer that needs to stay firmly closed between uses — no drift, no rebound, no second push.
