GSlides 12" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides G-Slides Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - GS4205 12

12 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slide For Smooth Access

12 inch over travel drawer slide identifies this GSlide GS4205 12 side mount unit as a compact option that still delivers full extension with 1 inch plus overtravel, so drawers can clear the opening and give better reach to stored items. The ball bearing telescopic movement supports this full extension travel, which helps drawers open smoothly along their length when installed in cabinets or casework. A 90 lb load rating ties each slide to light and medium duty storage, so drawers can carry typical woodworking, office, or residential loads within that limit. The 1/2 inch side profile keeps the slide relatively slim, which helps fit it into standard side mount drawer construction where space is planned around that dimension. Non-handed design means the same slide model works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies part selection for left and right positions.

Key GSlide GS4205 12 Details For Jobsites

• Full extension travel with 1 inch plus overtravel moves the drawer fully past the cabinet face, which helps access items at the back without obstruction while keeping the slide within its rated load.
• A 90 lb load rating defines this slide for small to medium drawers, supporting typical contents without overdesigning for heavier industrial loads.
• Telescopic movement on ball bearings keeps the sliding action guided and consistent along the length of travel, which helps drawers track straight in everyday cabinet use.
• The 1/2 inch side profile and 1/2 inch (12.7 mm + 0.8 mm - 0) side clearance align with common side mount drawer layouts, which supports predictable spacing between drawer and cabinet walls.
• The 32 mm hole patterns support layouts that follow the 32 mm system, which can streamline drilling and alignment in cabinet shops built around that standard.
• A hold-in detent and rolled profile design help the drawer stay in position at rest while transferring load more effectively across the slide members in service.

Side Mount Installation And Fit Characteristics

This GSlide side mount drawer slide uses a 1/2 inch side profile, so cabinet and drawer members can be sized around that space on each side of the drawer box. The specified 1/2 inch (12.7 mm + 0.8 mm - 0) side clearance defines the working gap from drawer to cabinet, which guides builders when planning overall drawer width. A non-handed lever disconnect allows the drawer member to separate from the cabinet member, which can simplify installing the slide on the drawer and later reconnecting it inside the cabinet. The 32 mm hole patterns follow a known system layout, which can integrate into drilling patterns in system-based cabinet construction. Side mount configuration positions the slides on the drawer sides, which keeps the hardware accessible during fitting and adjustment in the shop.

Drawer Slide Performance And Use In Cabinets

Where This 12 Inch Over Travel Slide Fits Best

This 12 inch over travel drawer slide from the G-Slides Series fits applications where a compact drawer still needs full extension travel with extra reach past the face frame or cabinet front. The 1 inch plus overtravel lets the drawer travel beyond full extension, which can be important when the drawer sides or hardware would otherwise obstruct access to the back area. A 90 lb load rating places this slide in light and medium duty roles, supporting typical loads in residential, office, or shop storage drawers built around that depth. The 1/2 inch side profile and defined side clearance make it suitable for standard side mount drawer construction, where drawer and case members are laid out around those gaps. An anochrome finish provides a consistent metallic appearance across the slide, which can matter in applications where the hardware is partially visible when the drawer is open.

Details That Support Repeatable Slide Performance

The telescopic movement on ball bearings supports smooth extension along the full travel and overtravel range, which helps drawers operate consistently over time when kept within their 90 lb load rating. The rolled profile design aids better load transfer between the slide members, which can help the assembly carry the rated load while maintaining alignment. A hold-in detent at the closed position provides resistance at the end of travel, which helps the drawer stay seated in the cabinet until intentional opening force is applied. The non-handed lever disconnect allows the same GS4205 12 part to be used on either side and enables removal of the drawer member, which can streamline adjustments or changes in the cabinet shop or on site. The slide meets or exceeds performance standards as established by KCMA, BIFMA, and BHMA, which relates its design and testing to recognized criteria for drawer slide function and durability in typical cabinet environments.
