Self closing drawer slides - DogwoodTales - 01-27-2019
I’ve gone cheap on these and while they self closed they were not soft and snap the drawer shut. This is for my kitchen so these will get a lot of use and abuse, so I need ones that will perform well and last under such conditions.
Obviously there’s lots of options out there for SOFT-self closing drawer slides. Which ones have you found to be best?
Thanks
Ray

Blum, under mount. Best I've seen.

Well I’m already set for side mount, but I’ll check to see what they have.

My answer is the same - although I'm sure I have much less experience with other brands because I took the advice on this site to use Blum. They are indeed excellent and if you build the drawer to the space specs required - easy to install.

Blum slides are very good, maybe the best. But I've had very good luck with KV as well.

Blum, Grass, Hettich are all decent. Though I tend to stick w/ Blum as I have the jigs for their stuff (hole drilling, etc.)

KV 8455FM Soft-Close Full Extension with Overtravel Drawer Slides work very well.

Thanks to all
I have some 15 sets of Blum sides on order and, thanks to the recommendations above, I have a feeling of confidence in the order and am looking forward to the anticipated quality.
When I’m ready for them I will look at their hinges first.
