Hickory Hardware 16" Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, P1050/16-2C

Hickory Hardware Ball Bearing Drawer Slide For Reliable Full-Extension Access at 16 Inches

This is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Hickory Hardware's 1050 series, rated 100 lb per pair. Zinc-finished steel construction and a non-handed design make it a straightforward fit for kitchen, office, and utility drawers where the whole drawer box needs to clear the cabinet opening.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so rear contents are fully reachable.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair covers a loaded kitchen or utility drawer at this length.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting before installation.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing format, so the drawer box dimensions follow the familiar formula.
• Zinc-finished steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to dry indoor cabinetry.
• Standard motion — no self-close, soft-close, or detent mechanism, so the drawer rests wherever it is left.

Where a 16 Inch Slide Fits the Work

At 16 inches, this slide suits shallower cabinet runs: bathroom vanity drawers, nightstand drawers, small base cabinet drawers, and shop bench drawers where the interior depth sits between roughly 14 and 16 inches. Full extension means the back of the box comes out to the opening — no reaching past the cabinet face for the item at the rear. The standard-motion design is intentional for applications where a closing mechanism would work against the install, such as a drawer fitted with a separate push-to-open accessory, or any drawer where the builder prefers free-sliding travel with no mechanical engagement.

Material and Finish

The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc, the standard corrosion-resistant treatment for side-mount ball bearing slides used indoors. Zinc plating is a functional finish — it protects the steel through years of normal cabinet service in dry environments and stays out of sight beside the drawer box. It is not a decorative or stainless finish, and this slide is intended for interior use.

Specifying the Right Drawer for This Slide

Cabinet shops sizing a replacement or a new build need the drawer box built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch side clearance for each slide. The 1050 series design is non-handed, so one part number covers both sides of every drawer — a practical advantage in shops ordering across multiple cabinet runs. Designers specifying handle-less fronts should note this is a plain standard-motion slide; if the install calls for push-to-open, there is no closing mechanism here to conflict with the ejector spring. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a vanity or bedroom piece will find the 16 inch length covers the most common shallower furniture drawer depths.

A Dependable 16 Inch Slide That Gets Out of the Way

When the drawer just needs to open fully, carry its load, and stay where it is left, this 16 inch 1050 series slide covers the job without adding mechanism complexity to the install.
