Salice 18" Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Zinc - G7E6R450XXF6

Salice 18 Inch Undermount Drawer Slides For Smooth Use

Salice 18 inch undermount drawer slides provide soft-close, full-extension performance for drawers using 13mm to 16mm material thickness, so drawers built to that range open fully while staying hidden under the box. The soft-close action is enhanced by a synchronized mechanism, which guides both slide members together and keeps motion even, so drawers shut with less racking and quieter contact at the cabinet. These slides are part of the Salice Progressa soft-close shelf slide family, tying the G7E6R450XXF6 part number directly to this 18 inch option so installers can match specifications across a project. A zinc finish on the slides protects the moving members while giving a clean, neutral look under the drawer, which suits a wide range of cabinet interiors. The undermount design supports drawers from underneath, which helps present a clean interior with no visible side hardware in use.

Key Drawer Slide Details For Daily Work

• The full extension design lets the drawer travel out to its rated length, so the entire drawer box is accessible, which simplifies loading and unloading in cabinet, shop, or storage applications.
• The soft-close function controls the final part of the closing stroke, so drawers are guided gently into position, which reduces slamming forces on the cabinet and drawer fronts over repeated use.
• The synchronized mechanism coordinates both slide members during travel, so movement stays aligned, which helps reduce side play and provides a more stable feel when the drawer is fully extended.
• The 154 lb dynamic load capacity rating means the slides are tested to operate smoothly with significant moving weight, which supports heavier contents such as tools, hardware, or dense kitchen items.
• The 170 lb static load capacity indicates the slides can support a higher non-moving load, which matters when drawers remain extended while being loaded or when contents are left in place for long periods.
• The 13mm to 16mm drawer material thickness range defines the side wall sizing these slides are engineered for, which guides drawer box construction so the undermount interface seats correctly on the bottom edges.

Installation Fit For 13mm To 16mm Drawer Sides

These Salice 18 inch soft-close full-extension undermount drawer slides are engineered for drawer boxes built with 13mm to 16mm material thickness, so the slide interface aligns to that specific side-wall range during installation. Working within this thickness band lets the undermount hardware sit properly under the drawer, which supports consistent engagement between the slide mechanism and the drawer bottom edge. Because the slides are full extension undermount units, they mount below the drawer rather than on the sides, which affects layout inside the cabinet and leaves the drawer sides free for clean interior surfaces. The 18 inch nominal length pairs with drawers built to that depth, which helps installers plan cabinet depths and clearances while keeping the slide travel matched to the drawer box size.

Using Salice Progressa Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where These 18 Inch Undermount Slides Fit Best

These Salice Progressa soft-close full extension undermount drawer slides, identified by part number G7E6R450XXF6, are suited to installations where a clean drawer side appearance and controlled closing are priorities. The undermount configuration supports the drawer from below, so the hardware remains out of sight when the drawer is open, which is useful in residential cabinetry, shop storage, or office casework where visible hardware is not desired. With an 18 inch length, these slides match drawers built around that depth, which works well in base cabinets, workstations, or storage units sized for medium-depth drawers. The 154 lb dynamic and 170 lb static load capacities make these slides appropriate in settings where drawers may hold heavier items, because the slides are rated to handle both motion and resting loads within those limits.

Why The Soft-Close Synchronized Mechanism Matters

The synchronized mechanism in these Salice soft-close full extension undermount slides coordinates movement between both sides of the slide assembly, which helps keep the drawer tracking straight throughout its stroke. When both sides move together, the drawer is less likely to twist under load, which reduces binding and improves the feel of opening and closing. The enhanced smooth soft closing action works together with this synchronized design, so as the drawer approaches the cabinet, the soft-close feature engages consistently, which pulls the drawer in at a controlled speed even when the contents vary in weight. This smoother action reduces impact at the front of the cabinet, which matters for maintaining alignment of fronts and minimizing wear on the cabinet structure. The zinc finish supports this mechanism by providing a treated surface on the slide components, which contributes to consistent sliding contact over time as the soft-close system cycles.
