Probrico 22 in Rear/Side Mount Drawer Slides - Heavy Duty Soft Close

Our review of the Probrico 22 in rear/side mount drawer slides finds them best suited for DIYers and cabinet makers who need heavy duty, quiet, full-extension glides for bedroom dressers or workshop storage. The most compelling reason to buy is the combination of a 100 lb load rating and a soft close mechanism: these slides feel solid under load and prevent slamming. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic tools, and the included rear mounting brackets make them a practical choice for framed drawers where front-mounting is not possible.

Key Features

• Heavy duty construction: Cold rolled steel with a zinc plated finish resists rust and gives the slides a robust feeling under repeated use.
• High load capacity: Each pair is rated to handle up to 100 lb, making these suitable for heavy kitchen or dresser drawers.
• Soft close action: Built-in hydraulic dampers provide a gentle closing effect that reduces noise and prevents drawer slamming.
• Full extension design: The 3-fold, full extension mechanism lets drawers be pulled out completely for full access to contents.
• Complete installation kit: Five pairs arrive with rear mounting brackets, screws and instructions, and each pair is packaged individually to protect the finish.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for homeowners renovating dressers, bathroom vanities, or workshop cabinets who need durable, quiet glides that fully extend. The heavy duty rating and smooth ball bearing operation appeal to users storing tools, cookware or heavy linens.

Those who should look elsewhere include people replacing very shallow or non-standard drawers where a 22 in slide cannot be fitted, and users who need soft close on ultra-lightweight or decorative furniture where a lighter, concealed slide is preferred.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quiet, smooth operation thanks to double row steel ball bearings and hydraulic dampers.

Cons
