The Grass Elite 18 inch soft-close full-extension undermount drawer slide is a concealed, roller-bearing slide rated for drawers up to 75 lb, designed to work in both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction. Sold as a pair, this slide keeps all hardware hidden beneath the drawer box and brings the entire drawer to the cabinet face at full open.
Face-frame and frameless cabinets each have their own slide requirements, and most shops run both. This Elite slide covers that split without stocking two different products. In a frameless cabinet it mounts directly to the flat interior panel. In a face-frame cabinet, rear mounting sockets or brackets support the back of the slide — confirm the appropriate rear hardware for your installation before the job goes to the floor. The 18 inch nominal length suits standard base cabinet drawer applications where an 18 inch drawer box is specified.
Full extension is the right call for kitchen and bath drawers where rear access matters: the entire box clears the cabinet opening, so nothing is out of reach. For storage that gets used daily — pots, utensils, folded linens, bath accessories — the slide earns its place by making the back corner of the drawer as reachable as the front.
The soft-close action on this slide uses a liquid damper, not a mechanical cam or spring, to control the final inch of travel. The result is a consistently smooth close that does not degrade the way a spring-loaded mechanism can over time. Roller bearings on precision nylon rollers run quietly and handle the 75 lb load rating across the drawer's full travel. The zinc steel construction is the standard for concealed undermount hardware: durable for indoor cabinet use, protected against everyday wear, and discreet beneath the drawer box where the finish is never on display.
The slide is designed for 5/8 inch drawer sides. Build the drawer box to the Grass Elite specification for this slide length, including the correct rear notch and any locking device drilling required — the undermount fit is engineered, and a box built to a different spec will not seat correctly.
Cabinet shops running face-frame lines alongside frameless work get practical value from a slide that does not require separate SKUs for each construction type. The 75 lb rating covers most residential kitchen and bath applications without stepping up to a heavy-duty program, and the soft-close damper is the feature homeowners and designers ask for by name. Custom installers specifying for higher-end renovations will find the concealed profile and full extension meet typical design intent without adding cost. The Elite series positions this slide between economy Euro rollers and premium 100 lb-plus undermounts — a reliable mid-range choice where consistent performance and a clean look are both on the spec sheet.
Yes. In a face-frame cabinet the slide's rear end is unsupported without a rear mounting socket or bracket. These are series-specific accessories — confirm the correct rear hardware for Grass Elite before ordering. Frameless installations screw directly to the cabinet side panel and do not require rear brackets.
The slide is rated for drawer sides up to 5/8 inch thick. Build the box to the Grass Elite specification for this nominal length; the undermount design is engineered around that thickness and does not accommodate thicker sides.
The 75 lb weight capacity is per pair — the working load for the two slides together as installed.
A self-closing Euro slide uses a ramp to pull the drawer shut — fast and undamped, which can produce a snap or slam. This slide's liquid damper catches the drawer before it closes and slows it to a controlled, silent finish. The mechanism is damped; the Euro ramp is not.
Yes. Undermount locking devices are engineered per brand and per series. Grass Elite locking devices and front fixings are not interchangeable with other brands' undermount hardware. Order Grass Elite-compatible locking devices to complete the installation.
When the build calls for a drawer that looks finished, opens all the way, and closes without noise, this 18 inch Grass Elite slide delivers all three from a single mid-range product that installs in face-frame or frameless cabinets alike.
