The Grass Elite 18 inch 3/4-extension undermount drawer slide is a soft-close concealed runner for shops that want a hidden slide and damped closing without paying for full travel. It suits drawer boxes with sides up to 3/4 inch thick, in both face-frame and frameless cabinets, rated 75 lb per pair.
Not every drawer needs full access to the back. In bathroom vanities, bedroom nightstands, and secondary kitchen drawers where contents sit toward the front, 3/4-extension travel is enough to reach what is there. The soft-close mechanism is the real reason to choose a concealed slide over a basic Euro roller slide: the drawer settles shut quietly without a mechanical ramp close. For shops building volume orders on a tight margin, this slide delivers the two features clients consistently ask for — hidden hardware and damped closing — without the cost of a full-extension model.
The slide is built from steel with a zinc finish that protects against corrosion through years of indoor service. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box and stays hidden in use, the zinc is a functional finish rather than a decorative one. The roller-bearing carriage runs quietly under load and holds up through daily cycling at the 75 lb rated capacity.
This is a practical choice for cabinet shops building face-frame or frameless casegoods where the drawer content and access pattern do not demand full extension. Designers specifying vanity or bedroom furniture with concealed hardware will find the soft-close and hidden profile satisfy the brief, and the 3/4 inch side-thickness compatibility means it drops straight into boxes cut from standard sheet goods. For applications where the entire drawer must come out to the cabinet face, step up to a full-extension model in the Elite Plus or Dynapro line instead.
At 3/4 extension, the slide opens roughly three-quarters of the 18 inch drawer length — the rear few inches stay inside the cabinet. This is not a full-extension slide, so contents at the very back of a deep drawer stay out of reach.
Yes. The maximum drawer side thickness is 3/4 inch, which is the standard thickness for plywood and solid-wood drawer boxes. Build the box to the Grass Elite specification for nominal length, width formula, bottom recess, and rear notch.
Yes. Face-frame installs require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide behind the frame. The brackets are series-specific — Elite brackets are not interchangeable with other Grass or third-party hardware.
Front locking devices for the Elite series are sold separately. They are series-specific and must be ordered for this line — locking devices from other Grass series or other brands will not fit.
Per pair. Undermount load ratings in this catalog are always stated per pair of slides, which is the standard in the industry.
When the job calls for hidden hardware and soft-close damping and full travel is not a requirement, this 18 inch Elite slide delivers both in a single, straightforward SKU rated for standard residential loads.
