The Grass Elite Plus 16 is a full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer slide built for 21-inch drawer boxes in face-frame and frameless cabinets. It mounts beneath the drawer box, keeping all hardware out of sight, and delivers a rated 75 lb capacity per pair with a damped, quiet close on every cycle.
A 21-inch slide is the right match for standard kitchen base cabinet drawers — deep enough for pots, pans, and full-depth cutlery organization, and common in both production and custom cabinet runs. The full-extension travel means the back of a loaded drawer clears the cabinet opening completely, so nothing gets buried. For a designer specifying a handle-less kitchen or a cabinet shop running mixed face-frame and frameless jobs, this slide resolves both applications without stocking a second SKU. The soft-close action suits residential environments where a quiet, controlled close is expected by the client.
The Elite Plus 16 is built from steel with a zinc finish, the workhorse combination for undermount slides in production and custom cabinetry. The zinc plating protects the mechanism against the humidity cycles typical of kitchen and bath environments and keeps the slide looking clean on the rare occasion it is visible during installation. Roller bearings carry the load quietly, and the integrated soft-close damper is built into the slide body rather than added as a separate component, so there is nothing to retrofit and no extra parts to source. The slide is engineered for drawer boxes built to the manufacturer's specification with drawer sides up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick.
Cabinet shops running face-frame and frameless jobs side by side will find the dual-compatibility useful — one slide covers both constructions, which simplifies procurement and inventory. Designers specifying undermount hardware for residential kitchens get a full-extension, soft-close slide at a practical price point without moving into the top tier of the undermount lineup. For homeowners tackling a kitchen refacing or drawer replacement, the concealed mounting and clean zinc finish mean the hardware disappears once the drawer box is set. This slide is for indoor cabinetry; it is not rated for exterior or high-moisture applications.
The Elite Plus 16 is listed as compatible with both face-frame and frameless construction. In face-frame installations, rear mounting support is often required so the back of the slide has a bearing point — check Grass America's installation instructions for the specific bracket or socket needed, as these components are series-matched and sold separately.
The slide is rated for drawer sides up to 3/4 inch (19mm) thick. Build the drawer box to Grass's published specification, including the correct box width, rear notch, and any required locking-device drilling, before hanging the drawer.
It is integrated directly into the slide — no separate damper or retrofit device is needed. The damper is part of the slide body as manufactured.
Load ratings in this category are stated per pair. Confirm the sold-as unit on the product listing before ordering to ensure you receive a complete working pair for each drawer.
Push-to-open compatibility depends on the specific Grass motion accessory engineered for the Elite Plus series. Because push-to-open and soft-close require a combined system to work together, do not add a plain mechanical push-to-open device to this slide and expect to retain the soft-close action — only a named combined Grass accessory delivers both. Confirm accessory compatibility with Grass America before ordering.
The Elite Plus 16 in 21 inches covers the depth most kitchen drawers actually need, hides the hardware completely, and delivers a full-extension, soft-close performance that homeowners notice and cabinet shops can rely on from one job to the next.
