Drawer Slides
3 Fold Silence Drawer Slide 45 mm Black Iron Full Extension
Full extension three fold runners in black iron, eight lengths from 6 to 20 inches, packed two pieces per pair.
The 3 Fold Silence Slide is a telescopic drawer runner built from three members, which is what lets the drawer travel out to full extension. The listed specification is 45 mm wide in black iron, supplied in eight lengths from 6 to 20 inches and packed two pieces per pair. The same family is also produced in 40 mm and 35 mm widths, so a project can be standardised on one runner across cabinets of different depths.
- Three fold construction giving full drawer extension
- Silent closing action, which removes a recurring maintenance item in rented and shared buildings
- Eight lengths from 6 to 20 inches covering vanity units through to deep pan drawers
- Black iron body in a consistent 45 mm width across every length

Problems It Solves
What This Model Is Specified To Fix
- The Back Of The Drawer Is UnreachablePartial extension runners leave the rear quarter of the drawer permanently inside the carcase. Three fold construction runs the drawer clear of the cabinet front.
- Slamming Drawers In High Turnover BuildingsIn student housing and shared offices, slammed drawers loosen fronts and damage stops. A controlled close removes the cause rather than the symptom.
- Runner Length Chosen After The CabinetChoosing a slide once the carcase exists usually means a compromise. Quoting it alongside the cabinet fixes the length from the drawer depth.
- Spares That No Longer MatchDiscontinued hardware forces a whole cabinet replacement. Keeping the runner specification on record keeps spares ordered against the original.

Comparison
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Two fold partial extension runners | Full extension makes the entire drawer usable, which matters most in deep kitchen drawers. |
| Undermount concealed runners | A side mounted three fold runner is simpler to fit and to replace, and does not require a matched drawer box construction. |
| Unsoftened slides | The silent close action removes the slam that loosens drawer fronts in high turnover buildings. |

What is the lead time?
