Grass Elite 12 Inch Undermount Slides In Use

Grass Elite 12 inch undermount drawer slides give you a fully concealed carriage roller slide, so the hardware sits out of sight while the drawer operates on a stable guided track. The full extension design lets the drawer travel completely out, so the user can access the full depth of the drawer without reaching past the front. A soft, self-closing feature within a range of 1-1/4 inch pulls the drawer shut after it is pushed to that point, which reduces slamming and helps drawers settle consistently in the cabinet front. The undermount layout supports the drawer from below, which is useful when you want clean cabinet sides without slide members on display. With a roller bearing zinc construction, the slide combines a smooth rolling action with a finish suited to typical cabinet environments.

Key Grass Elite Details For Drawer Projects

• The fully concealed undermount carriage roller slide supports the drawer from below, which keeps cabinet interiors visually clean while still carrying the load on a guided track.
• Full extension travel brings the drawer completely out of the cabinet, giving full access to stored items along the entire length of the 12 inch drawer box.
• The soft, self-closing feature within a range of 1-1/4 inch draws the drawer front into the cabinet face, helping doors line up more uniformly across a run.
• The Airmatic shock absorber system slows the momentum of the drawer, which reduces impact at closing and helps create a quieter operating bank of drawers.
• The unique air cylinder design avoids leaking oil pistons, which removes oil seepage concerns and supports a cleaner interior over the service life of the drawer.
• Roller bearing zinc construction provides a controlled rolling motion on metal components, which helps drawers open and close with a consistent feel.

Undermount Slide Fit For Drawer Construction

These Grass Elite undermount slides are designed for 5/8 inch, or 16 mm, thick drawer side material, so builders using that stock size can size drawers to the slide pattern directly. They are also designed for 3/4 inch, or 19 mm, thick drawer side material, which lets shops standardize on a thicker drawer side while staying within the intended application. The addition of straight brackets and a plastic adjustable socket makes this drawer slide ready for face frame application, so face frame cabinet runs can use the same undermount platform across the job. With the manufacturer part number 13133-03, shops can repeat the same slide choice on reorders when matching existing 12 inch installations.

Where These Undermount Drawer Slides Fit Best

The Grass Elite features a fully concealed undermount carriage roller slide, so it fits projects where the cabinet design calls for clear drawer sides and a hidden slide system. Because the system offers full extension, it supports 12 inch drawer boxes that need full-depth access in base or wall cabinets. The Airmatic shock absorber system slows the momentum of the drawer, which suits applications where a soft, quiet, easy close supports a more controlled kitchen or office environment. Designed for 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch thick drawer material, the slide works with common stock sizes in cabinet shops and onsite modifications. The addition of straight brackets and a plastic adjustable socket makes this drawer slide ready for face frame application, so it fits traditional face frame cabinet layouts as well as projects that repeat this construction.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The soft, self-closing feature within a range of 1-1/4 inch provides a defined hand-off point, so installers can set drawer projection knowing the slide will pull the drawer consistently to the same resting position. The Airmatic shock absorber system slows the drawer smoothly, which helps protect fronts and joints from hard impacts over repeated use. Its unique air cylinder offers high performance and reliability with no leaking oil pistons, so interiors stay free from oil marks that could affect finished drawer contents. Front height adjustment is built into the front locking device, giving installers a way to fine tune drawer front alignment vertically after the slide is mounted. With straight brackets and a plastic adjustable socket making the unit ready for face frame application, installers can dial in rear positioning on face frame cabinets to keep drawer action even from box to box.
