Hickory Hardware 18" Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, P1050/18-2C

Full Extension, Half-Inch Clearance, Zero Guesswork

This is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Hickory Hardware's 1050 series, rated 100 lb per pair. It mounts one slide on each side of the drawer box, brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, and fits the standard 1/2 inch side clearance that most drawer boxes are already built for.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the complete drawer out to the cabinet face, making the back of the box as reachable as the front.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a fully stocked kitchen or utility drawer without complaint.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel through years of daily use.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no sorting, no left-right matching on the bench.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion protection on functional hardware that stays out of sight beside the open drawer.
• Standard motion — no damper, no spring, no detent — the drawer rides the bearings and stays wherever it is left.

Where This Slide Earns Its Place

An 18 inch full-extension slide is the right call when the cabinet runs about 18 inches deep and every inch of drawer storage needs to be reachable. Kitchen base cabinets with pots, pans, or pantry goods in the back, workshop drawers holding tools by size, and utility cabinetry where reaching the rear of the box matters — these are the applications this slide is sized for. Standard motion suits any drawer that does not need a self-close or soft-close feature: the drawer stays where it is pushed, which is exactly the behavior needed for heavy drawers that are opened intentionally and left open while work is in progress.

Steel, Zinc, and Built to Stay Hidden

The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish, the workhorse combination for side-mount ball bearing hardware. Zinc protects the steel members through years of indoor service without adding bulk or visual weight. Because the slide sits beside the drawer box rather than beneath it, it is visible only when the drawer is open — the finish is functional, not decorative. This is indoor hardware; keep it out of wet, high-humidity, or exterior environments.

Who Orders This Slide and Why

Cabinet shops building standard-depth base cabinets reach for this length when the interior runs around 18 inches front to back. Contractors replacing worn slides on existing residential cabinetry find the non-handed design useful: one SKU covers both sides of every drawer on the job. Homeowners upgrading older drawer hardware get full extension at a practical price point without changing the drawer box width, because the 1/2 inch clearance requirement is already baked into most existing boxes. The 100 lb rating covers the everyday loads in a kitchen or utility room without stepping into a heavier-duty class.

A Reliable Foundation for the Drawer That Just Needs to Work

One pair, 18 inches, full extension, 100 lb, 1/2 inch clearance — the specs that cover the majority of kitchen and utility drawer installations without overbuilding or overcomplicating the order.
