This is a rear mounting socket for the P1700 drawer slide series, sold in a two-pack, that provides the back-end cabinet support required when installing drawer slides in face-frame cabinet construction.
Face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the front frame, which means a slide mounted at the face has no solid support at its rear end without additional hardware. This rear mounting socket closes that gap, giving the back of the slide a fixed anchor point on the cabinet bottom or back panel. Without it, the slide can flex under load and drawer travel becomes uneven. The bracket is the part most often forgotten on a face-frame slide order and the most common reason for a second shipment — having a two-pack on hand covers one complete drawer opening.
The socket is molded in white plastic, which keeps it light and immune to the corrosion that affects metal brackets in humid cabinet interiors. The white finish blends with painted and white-laminate cabinet boxes. Because the bracket sits inside the cabinet at the rear, it is out of sight once the drawer is installed.
Cabinet shops and installers running P1700 series slides into face-frame cabinets need these sockets to complete the installation correctly. If your cabinet is frameless — with the slide screwing directly to the flat interior side panel — rear mounting sockets are not required. This bracket is the right call any time the slide spec sheet calls for rear support in a framed box.
No. This socket is made for the P1700 series specifically. Rear mounting sockets are engineered to the geometry of their matched slide, and cross-brand or cross-series fit is not guaranteed.
Not typically. In a frameless cabinet the slide screws directly to the interior side panel, so the rear end is supported by the panel itself. Rear mounting sockets are a face-frame installation requirement.
One socket per slide — so two per drawer opening. The two-pack covers one complete opening.
No. The socket is non-handed and fits either side of the cabinet, so ordering is straightforward.
Having the correct rear mounting socket on hand before the slides go in keeps the job moving — no callbacks, no waiting on a second order, and no flex in a drawer that should run true.
