Hickory Hardware 1700 12" Self-Close Side Mount 3/4 Extension 75 lb Epoxy Coated Euro Slide, White, P1700/12-W

A Compact Self-Closing Euro Slide Built for Shallow Drawers

The Hickory Hardware 1700 Series 12 inch euro slide is a steel, epoxy-coated, self-closing roller slide for cabinetry where a short slide length is the right fit. Non-handed and rated at 75 lb, it installs on either side of a shallow drawer without sorting left from right.

Key Features

• 12 inch slide length — sized for small utility, bathroom vanity, and spice-drawer applications where depth is limited.
• Self-closing ramp — a built-in rear ramp pulls the drawer fully shut once it enters the capture zone.
• Non-handed design — the same part works on the left side and the right side, so there is nothing to sort at the bench.
• White epoxy powder-coat finish — blends into white melamine and painted cabinet interiors.
• 75 lb load rating — standard-duty capacity suited to everyday cabinet drawers.
• Roller bearings on steel members — the quiet, economical Euro-slide standard for smooth travel on light to moderate loads.

Where the 12 Inch Length Makes Sense

Most Euro slides are sold in 18, 20, 22, or 24 inch lengths, so the 12 inch 1700 Series fills a specific gap: shallow bathroom vanity drawers, small utility pullouts, spice and tray inserts, and any application where the cabinet's interior depth simply does not allow a longer slide. If the drawer depth runs under 14 inches or so, this length is the one to reach for. The self-closing ramp is especially useful in these smaller drawers because a positive close keeps a light, shallow box from sitting ajar.

Construction and Finish

The slide is formed from steel and finished in a baked white epoxy powder coat. White epoxy is a finish choice first — it lets the slide disappear against a white or light-colored cabinet interior rather than drawing the eye when the drawer is open. The nylon roller bearings run quietly and hold up well in the light-load applications a 12 inch slide is sized for. The 1700 Series mounts on the side of the drawer with 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box needs to be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops building out bathroom vanity towers, small linen closets, and spice-cabinet pull-outs will get the most use from this SKU. Remodelers who need a drop-in replacement for a worn 12 inch slide in an existing cabinet will also find it straightforward — the non-handed design and standard 1/2 inch side clearance match the most common installation pattern. Homeowners tackling a bathroom refresh or a kitchen spice-drawer repair can install it with basic tools and no special hardware. This is a 3/4-extension slide, so the back of the drawer stays inside the cabinet at full open; for a drawer where complete rear access matters, a full-extension slide is the right choice.
