Hickory Hardware 16" Full Extension Soft-Close Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - P1055/16-2C

Hickory Hardware 16 Inch Soft-Close Drawer Slides

Hickory Hardware 16" Full Extension Soft-Close Ball Bearing Drawer Slides describe a 16 inch side mount drawer slide with a soft close mechanism and ball bearing action, so drawers travel fully open on a smooth track and then pull themselves closed quietly. The full extension travel lets the drawer move its full length, so the back of the drawer can be reached without working around a partially hidden rear section. The soft close mechanism slows the final part of the stroke, so the drawer does not slam and front faces stay protected from repeated hard impacts. The ball bearing construction supports a smooth rolling motion along the slide, so the drawer can be opened and closed with consistent feel along the length of travel. The slide length of 16 inches sets the slide choice for cabinets and drawers built around that nominal depth.

Key 16 Inch Soft-Close Drawer Slide Details

• The full extension travel is designed so the drawer opens out to its entire 16 inch length, giving reach to the back of the drawer without shifting stored items around.
• The side mount design positions the slide on the drawer sides, keeping the cabinet interior clear under the drawer box for straightforward layouts in kitchen or bathroom installations.
• The soft close mechanism is integrated into the slide so closing motion is damped at the end of travel, helping reduce drawer impact noise in everyday use.
• The ball bearing construction supports the moving members along the slide, promoting a smooth rolling action as the drawer opens and closes under normal household loads.
• The 1055 series designation identifies this slide family, helping match 1055 series drawer slide selections across multiple cabinets in the same project.

Side Mount Full Extension Drawer Slide Setup

The side mount configuration on this 16 inch full extension soft close mechanism drawer slide means the installer aligns each member along the drawer and cabinet sides, so the up-and-down space beneath the drawer can stay open. The full extension travel allows the moving member to extend fully from the cabinet member, so the installer can align drawer fronts knowing that the closed position still brings the drawer face back tight to the cabinet. The soft close mechanism is built into the slide body, so once mounted, the closing motion transitions from free rolling to controlled damping without separate components. The 16 inch slide length sets the critical cabinet and drawer depth relationship, so layout work can be planned around a known, fixed travel distance.

Using 1055 Series Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where This 16 Inch Drawer Slide Fits Best

This 1055 series drawer slide with 16 inch length, full extension travel, and side mount design fits cabinets built for that slide length where full access to drawer contents is important. The side mount, ball bearing construction works in kitchen or bathroom drawers where smooth motion across the full travel helps drawers open easily under typical storage loads. The soft close mechanism is useful in locations where drawer noise travels through the room, because the damping action reduces the impact at the end of stroke. The cadmium finish described in the SAP description defines the surface treatment, so the slide presents a consistent metallic appearance on the cabinet interior along with the Hickory Hardware and Belwith Keeler product family.

How Full Extension And Soft Close Support Results

The full extension feature on this side mount, ball bearing slide allows the drawer box to extend out to the full 16 inch travel, so measurements for drawer dividers or organizers can use the entire interior length. The ball bearing design maintains contact along the moving members, so alignment set during mounting stays supported through the full stroke. The soft close mechanism built into this P1055/16-2C full extension drawer slide moderates the final closing speed, so drawer fronts settle gently against the cabinet without relying on careful manual slowing every time. The 1055 series drawer slide reference groups this slide with matching models, so a shop or installer can repeat the same slide type across a run of cabinets, supporting consistent motion and feel at every drawer opening.
