Grass Nova Pro Metal Drawer Systems Integrated Metal Drawer Side and Slide System, Cabinet Member 88 lb Load Capacity, 12"

Nova Pro Cabinet Member For 12 Inch Drawers

Nova Pro cabinet member is the 12 inch component of the Grass Nova Pro metal drawer systems that combines the drawer side and slide into one integrated steel assembly, so drawer construction stays consistent from project to project. The double walled, steel drawer system conceals the synchronized rack and pinion full extension and soft close drawer slide, so the moving parts stay protected while giving full access to the drawer interior. This cabinet member is part of the Grass Nova Pro Scala drawer system, so it matches the Nova Pro family setup already used in many cabinet shops. The unit supports an 88 lb load rating, so it handles typical residential drawer loads within the rated capacity. By using this cabinet member, installers can build drawers around a known Grass America platform and keep hardware details aligned across a run of cabinets.

Key Nova Pro Details That Support Daily Use

• The double walled steel drawer system conceals the slide mechanism, which keeps the moving hardware protected inside the drawer profile for a clean, uninterrupted side wall.
• The synchronized rack and pinion full extension slide runs inside the system, which coordinates left and right motion for smooth travel to full extension during normal drawer operation.
• The Grass Airmatic soft close system is integrated into each slide, which slows the drawer near the end of travel for controlled closing that helps protect drawer contents and cabinet fronts.
• The rack and pinion mechanism eliminates noise associated with moving metal parts, which reduces distracting sounds during opening and closing in everyday use.
• The same mechanism significantly reduces side-to-side play, which keeps drawer fronts running truer in the opening and supports consistent reveals across aligned cabinet banks.
• The 88 lb load capacity rating defines the designed load for the system, which helps installers match this cabinet member to drawers carrying typical household or light-duty shop items.

Installation And Adjustment Characteristics Of This Slide

This Nova Pro cabinet member works as the case-mounted part of the integrated metal drawer side and slide system, so it anchors the moving drawer to the cabinet structure while the drawer side forms the drawer wall. Drawer fronts on the Nova Pro system are two way adjustable, with side-to-side adjustment of plus or minus 1 mm, so fine tuning can align front gaps horizontally in the cabinet opening. The up and down adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm lets installers shift drawer fronts vertically, which helps dial in consistent reveals relative to adjacent doors and drawers. Because the Nova Pro is a synchronized rack and pinion full extension slide, both sides extend evenly from the case, supporting square drawer movement during installation checks and final adjustments.

Using The Grass Nova Pro Cabinet Member In Projects

Where This Nova Pro Cabinet Member Fits Best

This 12 inch Nova Pro cabinet member ties into the Grass Nova Pro Scala drawer system, so it suits drawer boxes designed around that integrated metal drawer side and slide layout. The cabinet member length of 300 mm, described as 12 inch, aligns with drawer depths built for that nominal case dimension, giving full extension travel within the rated length. Sleek contoured drawer sides in the Nova Pro system are finished in a two step process with a color base coat and a fingerprint resistant top coat, in a Champagne finish, so visible metal sides present a uniform look inside the cabinet run. Two drawer side heights, 3-1/2 inch and 4-3/4 inch, work with this platform, allowing shallow and deeper drawers to share the same underlying slide concept for consistent motion across different drawer configurations. For deep drawers with taller fronts, side and divider railings can be added to improve cabinet organization, so heavy or bulky items can be positioned more predictably within the same Nova Pro hardware family.

Why Nova Pro Design Details Help Alignment And Workflow

The synchronized rack and pinion mechanism inside this Grass America Nova Pro drawer system coordinates both slides, which stabilizes the drawer as it opens and closes and supports accurate reveals after installation. Because the mechanism eliminates noise associated with moving metal parts, drawer motion remains quieter, which is helpful in finished residential spaces that use multiple drawers in the same room. The same mechanism significantly reduces side-to-side play, so the drawer front resists racking when opened, helping maintain straight sightlines in tall drawer stacks. Full extension travel lets the 12 inch drawer member bring the box fully out of the case depth defined by this length, which makes it easier to access items stored at the back of the drawer. The Airmatic soft close system is seamlessly integrated into each slide, so there is no separate soft close device to manage, and the closing action stays consistent across all Nova Pro drawers built on this cabinet member. Drawer front adjustment of plus or minus 1 mm side-to-side and plus or minus 2 mm up and down gives enough range for final fitting, letting installers compensate for small case variations while keeping the fronts aligned with adjoining components.
