Hickory Hardware 12" Soft-Close Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, P1055/12-2C

Soft-Close Ball Bearing Slides For Compact Cabinet Drawers

This is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Hickory Hardware's 1055 series, rated 100 lb per pair and fitted with an integrated soft-close damper that settles the drawer shut silently. Designed for compact cabinet and furniture drawers where smooth, quiet operation matters as much as load capacity.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and eases it closed without slamming.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, so nothing at the back stays hidden.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a fully loaded small cabinet or vanity drawer.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left or right to sort on the bench.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel across the drawer's full range of motion.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion protection on the steel members.

Where a 12 Inch Slide Fits the Job

A 12 inch slide is the right call for shallow cabinet runs: bathroom vanities, nightstand drawers, small base cabinets, and built-in furniture pieces where a longer slide would overhang the available interior depth. At full extension, the entire drawer comes clear of the cabinet face, giving access to the full contents despite the compact footprint. The soft-close function earns its keep in bedroom and bath settings where drawer slam is the last thing anyone wants at night or early in the morning.

Steel Construction and Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides intended for indoor residential and light commercial use. Zinc protects the steel through years of daily cycling in a dry interior environment. This is a functional finish: the slides sit beside the open drawer box and are not meant to be a decorative element.

Who Should Specify This Slide

Cabinet shops building bathroom vanities, small base units, or furniture-grade pieces with shallow drawer boxes will find the 12 inch length a natural fit alongside their standard 18 and 21 inch lines. Designers specifying handle-less or minimalist interiors get the quiet close without adding a separate damper. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a compact dresser or nightstand get a direct side-mount substitute that requires no special tooling. The non-handed configuration simplifies inventory: one part number covers both sides of every drawer in the run.

Quiet Performance in Every Compact Drawer

Pair the 12 inch length with the soft-close damper and a 100 lb rating, and this slide handles the full range of small-cabinet applications without compromise — smooth enough for a furniture piece, strong enough for a loaded vanity drawer, and quiet enough for any room in the house.
