KV, G-Slide by KV, Accuride, Hardware Resources. These are side mount.
I never use under mount personally because they are normally not rated
to hold as mucu weight. And they are a bit more fussy to install.
Keep in mind that soft close side mount are also fussy about fit. In particular the soft close feature. And these soft close features, in particular the plastic pin will wear over time and not actually engage
over time. That results in the drawer pulling closed but remaining
open slightly if the carcass side of the slide is flush with the front
if your cabinet.
Alternatively, if you are a business Hardware Resources have an
exclusive soft close side mount slide that uses a steel pin to pull the drawer fully closed. You can search YouTube for Hardware Resources
soft close slides to see how theirs differ.

I have used the KV MUV (Swingman's favorite) undermount slides, rated at
100 lbs, with great satisfaction. Tall, wide drawers, 22" deep, filled with >ceramic and glass bowls. In my kitchen, they have performed better than the >KV G-slides that I used on the lighter-use drawers.
These are the drawers I recently put in my daughter's kitchen using the KV MUV's.

Yes, they make the build/install a little tougher, but if a relative novice like me can
get them right, there's hope for all. ;-)
Note to the OP:
I am aware that you do not need anything as beefy as the KV MUV's. I'm also guessing
that retrofitting your drawers to use the MUV's may not be possible due to the strict
installation requirements. To use the MUV's you basically have to build the drawers
to work with the slides. The drawer and slides become a "system". You don't just screw
them on to any given drawer.
OTOH, I stole the following from an old thread and I give Swingman credit for the idea. I
used his mounting method when I built new drawers for my stick built cabinets, where
the lack of interior side panels means you have nothing to attach side mount slides to
By building the "carrier" you don't need side walls. You can attach it to the face frame
and rear of the cabinet or set it on the existing wooden rails, like I did.
By using this method, I was able to make my drawers 4" deeper than the originals and
use full extension side, soft close, side mount slides.

I hope that helps.Those were the days, Swingman and I probably built 7~8 ketchens together.
These under mount slides that we installed were time consuming. And as
you stated the drawer has to be a certain size to work. I think the
newer version allow less clearance for the drawer sides, meaning the
drawers can bee deeper top to bottom.
BUT all drawers, regardless of the slide, should be built after the
cabinet is built and after you have purchased your slides.
Concerning Swingman's adaptation for FF slides drawers. I build a case
that holds multiple drawers, that can be slid in under the top drawer,
to use the bottom of the cabinet space. The beauty to my method is you
are only inside the cabinet to put 2 anchoring screws into the bottom of
the cabinet. All other work is on my bench top.

Your drawer case sounds like a "bigger version" of Swingman's carrier. The bench work aspect of both is what I like. However, if I'm picturing it correctly,
I don't think it would adapt very well for fixed shelf cabinets like mine. You'd
have to build 2, right?
Question: With the carrier, you can basically use the full width and height of
the rough opening assuming you can finagle the carrier into place so that both rails are behind the face frame. If the case slips in through the rough opening,
don't you give up some height and width because of the case material itself?

John T.The KV's do also. In my case, there is no back to the stick built cabinets and I would have had
to mount the rear brackets to the plaster wall. PITA. Using the "carrier" made it much easier to
level and secure it since it's just one piece.
Working inside cabinets is hard enough, especially inside stick builts with the extra structure
and fixed shelves. Attaching 2 separate pieces to the back wall for 8 drawers would have been
tough. As Swingman notes, when using the carrier, you can test your fit on the bench and get it
working. However it acts on the bench is how it will act when installed. No inside the cabinet
tweaking required.
It's just a suggestion that has worked out well for others.

You don't state the depth ie: slide length ;
If you're looking for side mount, ball bearing, self close,
- these come in 14 or 16 inch at Lee Valley
but other lengths in similar slides might be available elsewhere ?
This link is USA site < previous under-mount example was Canada >
https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/hardware/slides/side-mount/112318-regular-extension-soft-closing-slides?item=02K4935
It says that side clearance must be :
1/2 inch + / - 1/32 / Zero
These are more than double the cost of the Blum slides.

My bedside cabinets are yet to be built (not a retrofit). Sliders will attach to the insides of the case (not a face frame situation). The drawer boxes will be 1" smaller than the distance between the inside walls of each side.Since your cabinets have yet to be built, and assuming that you plan to
build them to last, I suggest that you look at price difference between a basic (cheap) slide and a decent, quality slide from a known manufacturer. The price difference may not significant enough based on what you get for your money. (Careful - even the big guys have cheap slides, so it's not just the name that matters. They want to participate at all price points.)
Not only will the higher quality slides operate better right away and for a longer time, consider the possibility that these cabinets may some day
have a different purpose - something that will mean more weight.
As Leon and I both mentioned, buy your slides then build to them. Not all slides mount the same way or require the same spacing.
Good luck and post pictures.

Check out all the possibilities at Lee Valley -
they have pretty good product descriptions and be sure to

You don't state the depth ie: slide length ;
If you're looking for side mount, ball bearing, self close,
- these come in 14 or 16 inch at Lee Valley
but other lengths in similar slides might be available elsewhere ?

It says that side clearance must be :
1/2 inch + / - 1/32 / Zero
These are more than double the cost of the Blum slides.

The KV's, available from Amazon (and other sources) run ~$24, the Lee Valley's are ~$15. It sounds
like the OP needs 4 pairs, so both would be above the free shipping point.
$98 for the KV's vs $60 for the LV's, before tax
I know the KV's, I don't know the LV's. They call them "our slides" but I doubt they actually
make them, so tracking down the actual manufacturer might be difficult (might not be, I
haven't tried.) Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any reviews of the LV slides on their website.
Since it looks like both offer free shipping and free returns (I think) I'd probably buy both
and compare them side by side.

Sorry, forgot to point out that the OP originally requested soft-close, so that's the
only KV I looked at. If he's changing his criteria, then a cheaper slide may work for him.
There's not much that can go wrong with a decent quality non-soft-close but as I said
earlier, I have no experience with the Lee Valley slides.
I always find it interesting when places use phrases like "this updated-design version".
"Updated" does not necessarily mean better.

and compare them side by side.
WoodWorkers Hardware is a source for slides that I have used for decades.

Check out all the possibilities at Lee Valley -
they have pretty good product descriptions and be sure to
read the detailed info link .. " Care and Use " pdf
for the dirty little details.

I was first attracted to KV 8450FM Full Extension Soft Close. But ... probably overkill for drawers holding bedside stuff!
My bedside cabinets are yet to be built (not a retrofit).
Sliders will attach to the insides of the case (not a face frame situation).
The drawer boxes will be 1" smaller than the distance between the inside walls of each side.
If you're looking for side mount, ball bearing, self close,
- these come in 14 or 16 inch at Lee Valley
but other lengths in similar slides might be available elsewhere ?

It says that side clearance must be :
1/2 inch + / - 1/32 / Zero
These are more than double the cost of the Blum slides.

Thanks for the Lee Valley link.
The slides will be 14" ... enough models to pick from.
What do you and other readers think of the Knape and Vogt DUR45B 20 DuriSlide? It is quite cheap.
I changed my mind ... I now don't think soft close is important for a bedside table/cabinet.
My typo ... The DUR45B comes in a 14".

The KV's, available from Amazon (and other sources) run ~$24, the Lee Valley's are ~$15. It sounds
like the OP needs 4 pairs, so both would be above the free shipping point.

I know the KV's, I don't know the LV's. They call them "our slides" but I doubt they actually
make them, so tracking down the actual manufacturer might be difficult (might not be, I

Soft close doesn't need to cost very much more -

Thanks for the side-mount manufacturers names. That helps me.
I was first attracted to KV 8450FM Full Extension Soft Close. But ... probably overkill for drawers holding bedside stuff!
My bedside cabinets are yet to be built (not a retrofit).
Sliders will attach to the insides of the case (not a face frame situation).
The drawer boxes will be 1" smaller than the distance between the inside walls of each side.
If you're looking for side mount, ball bearing, self close,
- these come in 14 or 16 inch at Lee Valley
but other lengths in similar slides might be available elsewhere ? >>>> > >

It says that side clearance must be :
1/2 inch + / - 1/32 / Zero
These are more than double the cost of the Blum slides.

Thanks for the Lee Valley link.
The slides will be 14" ... enough models to pick from.
What do you and other readers think of the Knape and Vogt DUR45B 20 DuriSlide? It is quite cheap.
I changed my mind ... I now don't think soft close is important for a bedside table/cabinet.
I'd go for the little more money and do the soft-close for any
furniture but in particular bedside tables. Sometimes I reach for the >>drawers while in bed. It would be nice if the drawers closed that
last inch without being pushed. Just my preference.
Soft close doesn't need to cost very much more -Given the total cost of the night stand, a few more bucks doesn't

in a bedside drawer ?

My dentist recommends brushing with Listerine Antiseptic or an equivalent antiseptic
mouthwash. Match the ingredients in Listerine Antiseptic as shown here. Easy to find.

2 years ago I was heading towards thousands of dollars of gum work. Bleeding, inflammation, etc.
My dentist said "Before we go down that path, let's try this first: Floss with a Waterpik before brushing,
then use an electric toothbrush dipped in Listerine Antiseptic or equivalent."
Now my hygienist says things like "Healthiest gums I've seen all day. Keep it up."
I'll never go back to toothpaste.

Actually tooth paste is just something to flavor the massage. I have
used a Brawn electric tooth brush for decades, no issues at the dentist.
