Blum 554H Tandem Edge 9" Soft-Close 7/8 Extension 100 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Zinc, 05413342

9 Inch Undermount Drawer Slide For Small Drawers That Demand a Concealed, Soft-Close Finish

The Blum TANDEM Edge is a 9 inch soft-close undermount slide for small drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides. It runs fully concealed beneath the box, closes on an integrated BLUMOTION damper, and carries 100 lb per pair — giving compact drawers the same polished hardware as the full-size kitchen lineup.

Key Features

• 7/8 extension with minimal extension loss — opens nearly the full drawer length so most contents are within easy reach.
• Integrated BLUMOTION soft-close — the damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently without slamming.
• 100 lb capacity per pair — a strong rating for a 9 inch slide, suited to densely loaded small drawers.
• Fits 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides — compatible with standard dovetailed and doweled box construction at both common thicknesses.
• Suits face-frame and frameless cabinets — works in both traditional and European-style construction with the correct mounting hardware.
• Steel construction, zinc finish, roller-bearing carriage — a quiet, smooth pull with corrosion resistance suited to indoor service.

Where the 9 Inch Length Earns Its Place

A 9 inch slide fits the shallow drawers that turn up in bathroom vanities, jewelry armoires, built-in nightstands, small islands, and compact utility cabinets. These drawers are short front-to-back by design — to maximize storage in tight spaces — and a full-size slide simply will not fit. At 7/8 extension, the TANDEM Edge opens nearly the full box length, so a spice drawer, a bathroom accessories drawer, or a small cutlery tray gives up very little reach compared to a full-extension model. The 100 lb per pair capacity handles the kind of dense, concentrated loads these drawers often carry: glass jars, cosmetics, hardware, or chargers and cables.

Steel, Zinc, and Roller Bearings — Built for Long Indoor Service

The slide body is steel with a zinc electroplated finish, the standard combination for side-mount and undermount hardware that lives inside a cabinet and never sees weather. The roller-bearing carriage keeps travel smooth and quiet under load, and because the slide is fully concealed beneath the drawer box, the finish serves a functional rather than a decorative role. Nothing shows from the front or the sides when the drawer is open — just the wood box on clean, hidden runners.

Who Specifies This Slide

Cabinet shops producing bathroom vanities, bedroom furniture, or compact storage pieces choose the TANDEM Edge 9 inch when they want a concealed soft-close finish on every drawer in the case, including the smallest ones. Designers specifying a consistent hardware family across a kitchen and adjacent mudroom or butler's pantry use it to carry the Blum system into shorter drawers without switching brands. Homeowners retrofitting a vanity or nightstand get the same damped close and clean look they see in premium kitchen drawers, in a size that actually fits the box.

The Right Slide for the Smallest Drawer in the Job

When every drawer in the case needs a concealed soft-close finish — down to the 9 inch spice or accessories drawer — the TANDEM Edge delivers Blum's damped close and clean look in a length the rest of the undermount lineup does not cover.
