Which Drawer Slides Work Best For My Space?

Tansel stainless steel pull out drawers are designed to fit into a large range of spaces, with 17 widths to choose from.

Our three slide options give you flexibility so you're able to achieve maximum use of your space. 

OPTION A : 2 x 35mm Side Mount Slides (SLB.450)

These slides are our 'go to' if you have a standard cabinet width (ending in '67' or '18'. Example: 167, 267, 367mm etc or 218, 318, 418mm etc. They extend out 100% and include a built in spacer to clear most standard hinges so no/minimal additional packers should be required.

SLIDE FEATURES

• 40kgs weight capacity
• 22mm built in spacer to clear most 90-110 degree hinges
• Full extension ball bearing, zinc plated
• Includes a rubber buffer to prevent doors being marked
• Available in soft close (Note: not recommended for DIY installation)

INSTALLATION DIFFICULTY

Easy, suitable for DIY. All screw holes are exposed and easy to adjust.

WILL THIS SLIDE WORK FOR MY SPACE?

Choose a basket width and add 70mm. You have a -2mm tolerance, which you need to reduce from the total.

For example: (400W Stainless Steel Basket Drawer) + (70mm slides) – (2mm) = 468mm. This is your minimum internal cabinet width.

OPTION B: 2 x 13mm Side Mount Slides (SL.450.H)

If your internal cabinet width doesn’t end in '67' or '18', your cabinet is a non standard cabinet width and we recommend using this slide. Slides extend out 100% and can be used with packers to clear hinges, door obstructions or fill any residual space. They're also ideal for cabinets with no doors (eg, a Butlers pantry).

SLIDE FEATURES

• 40kgs weight capacity
• Full extension ball bearing, zinc plated
• Includes a rubber buffer to prevent doors being marked
• Available in soft close but these are not recommended for DIY installation

INSTALLATION DIFFICULTY

Moderate. Slides will need to be disconnected and a higher level of installation accuracy is required.

WILL THIS SLIDE WORK FOR MY SPACE?

Choose a basket width and add 26mm. You have a -2mm tolerance, which you need to reduce from the total.

For example: (400W Stainless Steel Basket Drawer) + (26mm slides) – (2mm) = 424mm. This is your minimum internal cabinet width.

OPTION C: 2 x 15mm Bottom Mount Slides (SLF.450)

Bottom mounting is suitable for fixed shelves and irregular spaces, such as under sink areas or spaces with no side walls. Slides extend out 100% and can be positioned whereever required. These slides have only 4 bottom fixing screw holes so have a lower weight capacity unless they're reinforced.

SLIDE FEATURES

• 20kgs weight capacity (unless reinforced)
• Full extension ball bearing, zinc plated
• Includes a rubber buffer to prevent doors being marked

INSTALLATION DIFFICULTY

Easy. Slides can be positioned as required to fit the space and therefore are the simplest to install. 

WILL THIS SLIDE WORK FOR MY SPACE?

Choose a basket width and add 30mm. You have a -2mm tolerance, which you need to reduce from the total.

For example: (400W Stainless Steel Basket Drawer) + (30mm slides) – (2mm) = 428mm. This is your minimum internal cabinet width.
