Hickory Hardware 20" Soft-Close Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, P1055/20-2C

Zinc Soft-Close Drawer Slides for Kitchen and Cabinet Work

The Hickory Hardware 1055 Series is a 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with an integrated soft-close damper, rated 100 lb per pair. It is a practical choice for kitchen cabinet drawers, utility pulls, and any drawer box where quiet, controlled closing matters and the hardware stays out of sight beside the box.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly, without slamming.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer clear of the cabinet face, so nothing at the back is out of reach.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a loaded pots, utensils, or tool drawer with room to spare.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no sorting left from right on the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing fit, simplifying drawer box sizing.
• Steel construction with a zinc finish provides reliable indoor corrosion protection over the life of the cabinet.

Where These Slides Earn Their Keep

Side-mount ball bearing slides with soft-close are the go-to solution when the priority is consistent, quiet closing without switching to a concealed undermount system. In a kitchen renovation, that means pot drawers and utensil pulls that stop slamming even when pushed shut carelessly. In a shop or office setting, a 20 inch slide length suits a medium-depth cabinet — think a utility drawer under a countertop or a printer stand where the full drawer needs to come out to the face. Full extension means the back of the drawer is as reachable as the front, which matters whenever the contents fill the box front to back.

Materials and Finish

The slide members are formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides and the same finish used across the segment for indoor installations. Zinc is a functional, corrosion-resistant coating suited to dry interior environments; it is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it sits beside the drawer box mostly out of view in normal use. The soft-close module is integrated into the slide body, so there are no add-on parts to source separately.

Who Should Order These

Cabinet shops running kitchen or bath projects will find the 20 inch length well matched to standard base cabinet depths. Contractors replacing worn slides in existing casework can use this pair without worrying about handedness — both slides are identical, which speeds installation when working through multiple cabinets. Homeowners tackling a drawer upgrade get a clean soft-close result without the complexity of undermount hardware. The 1/2 inch clearance per side is the same as virtually every other side-mount ball bearing slide in this class, so existing drawer boxes sized to that standard drop straight in. These slides are sold as a pair.

A Quiet Drawer on Every Pull

A 20 inch full-extension soft-close slide at 100 lb per pair handles the everyday demands of kitchen, bath, and utility cabinetry — and the integrated damper means the drawer closes the same way every time, without a reminder to push it gently.
