Soft-Close Concealed Fit for Face-Frame Cabinets

The Grass Maxcess 15 inch soft-close undermount slide is purpose-built for face-frame cabinet construction, delivering a concealed, damped close at an economy price point. It runs on roller bearings with a zinc-finish steel body and carries drawers with sides up to 5/8 inch thick, rated 75 lb per pair.

Key Features

• Face-frame cabinet version — engineered for traditional face-frame construction with appropriate rear support geometry.
• 7/8 extension with minimal extension loss — nearly the full drawer length opens clear of the cabinet face.
• Integrated soft-close — a damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• 75 lb capacity per pair — the working dynamic rating for everyday use.
• Roller-bearing steel construction, zinc finish — smooth, quiet travel in a durable indoor-rated body.
• Fits drawer sides up to 5/8 inch thick — matches standard dovetailed and doweled box construction.

The Right Slide for Face-Frame Work

Face-frame cabinets present a specific mounting challenge: the cabinet side sits behind the face frame, so the slide's rear end needs support from matching rear mounting brackets rather than a direct screw to the panel face. This Maxcess model is configured for that construction. For face-frame installs, add the series-specific Maxcess rear mounting brackets — they are not included and do not interchange with rear brackets from other undermount lines. The front of the drawer attaches through series-specific Maxcess locking devices, which provide height and side adjustment for front alignment after hanging.

At 7/8 extension, this slide opens nearly the full 15 inch drawer length past the cabinet face. It is not full extension — a small amount of the drawer's rear stays inside the cabinet at maximum travel — but the difference is minimal and the price reflects it. For drawers where complete rear access is critical, a full-extension model is the appropriate choice.

Steel Construction Built for the Job Site

The Maxcess slide body is steel with a zinc finish, running on roller bearings for quiet, consistent travel. The zinc finish is a functional indoor coating suited to the dry cabinet interior environment — not a decorative surface finish. Because the slide mounts concealed beneath the drawer box, the finish stays hidden in service. Build the drawer box for sides up to 5/8 inch thick, following Grass's published specification for the Maxcess series: nominal 15 inch length, correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and locking-device drilling. A box that does not meet the spec will not seat correctly on the slides.

Production Shops and Face-Frame Cabinetmakers

This is an economy-tier concealed slide for shops that build American face-frame casework and want soft-close and an understated look without stepping up to a premium full-extension system. At 75 lb dynamic per pair, it handles kitchen drawers, bath vanities, and furniture pieces built on 5/8 inch box material. It is sold in bulk, making it practical for production environments running multiple face-frame kitchens at once. Shops building frameless cases should select the frameless Maxcess version instead — this model is configured for face-frame construction only.

A Concealed, Soft-Close Solution Built for How You Build

When the job calls for face-frame construction, soft-close action, and an economy price, the 15 inch Maxcess delivers all three in a single, production-friendly bulk SKU — add the matching rear brackets and locking devices and the system is complete.
