GSlides 26" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides G-Slides Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - GS4205 26

GSlides 26 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

GSlides 26 inch over travel drawer slides provide full extension travel so drawers open to the back, giving clear access to stored parts and reducing time spent hunting at the rear of the drawer. The 1 inch plus overtravel moves the drawer slightly past the cabinet front, which helps installers clear countertop overhangs and thicker drawer fronts. A 90 lb load rating supports heavier contents, so these slides handle denser hardware or tooling drawers within rated limits. Telescopic movement on ball bearings delivers smooth action, which matters when drawers are opened repeatedly on busy jobs. The unhanded side mount design allows mounting on either side, simplifying inventory and layout on site. A 1/2 inch side profile fits standard side mount drawer constructions, helping align with common cabinet clearances. The hold-in detent feature keeps the drawer in the closed position, which helps resist minor bounce back in everyday use.

Key Slide Details For Cabinet Installers

• Full extension travel lets the drawer open fully, helping installers and users see and reach the entire contents without bending around a partially hidden rear space.
• The 1 inch plus overtravel moves the drawer slightly past the cabinet face, helping clear face frames and countertops so drawer boxes and fronts do not bind at full extension.
• A 90 lb load rating supports medium duty storage, allowing use in many cabinet, shop, or utility drawers where hardware, supplies, or tools create higher in-drawer weight.
• The 1/2 inch side profile supports standard cabinet design, so builders can work with familiar clearances instead of reworking drawer box widths for this slide.
• Telescopic movement on ball bearings provides consistent, smooth motion, which helps drawers feel controlled and predictable when opened and closed under load.
• The hold-in detent at the closed position resists rebound, helping drawers stay shut in normal use and reducing nuisance creep on level installations.
• The unhanded design lets each slide mount on either left or right, simplifying ordering and jobsite organization by removing the need for handed pairs.
• An Anochrome finish gives the slide a uniform, finished appearance, which supports a professional look when slides are visible in higher-end cabinet interiors.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Setup

This side mount drawer slide uses a 1/2 inch side profile, which aligns with common cabinet practices where the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the opening for both sides combined. The stated 1/2 inch side clearance with 12.7 mm plus 0.8 mm minus 0 tolerance guides builders to size drawer boxes so the slide can operate freely along its path. The 32 mm hole patterns match standard system boring layouts, which streamlines drilling operations on line-boring equipment or jigs. A rolled profile is used for better load transfer, helping the slide channel carry weight along its length for smoother travel under the 90 lb rating. The lever disconnect is non-handed, so drawers can be removed from either side without tracking left or right parts on site.

Using GS4205 26 Slides In Real Projects

Where This 26 Inch Slide Works Best

The GS4205 26 slide length is suited for 26 inch drawer applications, aligning drawer box depth with the slide stroke so the full extension travel reaches the back of the box. In cabinets where users need to see every stored item, the full extension plus 1 inch overtravel helps pull the rear of the drawer clear of the cabinet face, improving visibility. The side mount configuration works within standard face frame or frameless cabinet openings designed around 1/2 inch per side clearance, allowing the slide to integrate into existing shop construction methods. With a 90 lb load rating, these slides fit many general storage drawers that hold hardware bins, fasteners, or shop supplies while staying within the rating. The non-handed design lets the same slide serve left and right sides, which helps streamline stocking in shops that run multiple cabinet lines.

Details That Support Consistent Installation Results

The 32 mm hole patterns tie into system boring measurements, so cabinet shops using 32 mm construction can line up mounting points quickly and repeatably across a run of cabinets. The telescopic ball bearing movement supports smooth cycling, which matters when drawers are opened frequently in commercial or busy residential environments. A rolled profile improves load transfer along the slide members, helping support the rated 90 lb load across the full extension and overtravel distance. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer engaged at the closed position, which reduces the chance of slight rebound that can leave fronts proud of the cabinet. The non-handed lever disconnect helps installers remove and reinstall drawers during scribing, adjustment, or service without tracking orientation, saving time on site moves. Meeting or exceeding performance standards as established by KCMA, BIFMA, and BHMA indicates the slides have been evaluated against recognized cabinet and furniture performance benchmarks.
