4. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions during installation and use:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when working with tools and hardware.
• Ensure the work area is well-lit and clear of obstructions.

• Keep small parts, such as screws, out of reach of children.

5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your drawer slides. Follow these steps carefully:

5.1. Pre-Installation Checks

• Measure Drawer and Cabinet: Ensure your drawer and cabinet have the following minimum clearances:
  • 1/2" clearance on both the left and right sides of the drawer.
  • At least 2-1/2" overall drawer height.
• Select Right Size Drawer Slide: Measure the drawer from the outside of the back panel to the inside of the front panel to determine the required slide model number. Refer to the table below for guidance.

5.2. Mounting the Slides

Side mount drawer slides attach to the side of the drawer and the side of the inner cabinet. They are visible when the drawer is extended and are designed to support more weight. These slides are best for use on frameless cabinets.

1. Separate Slide Components: Gently pull the two sections of each slide apart. One section will attach to the drawer, and the other to the cabinet.
2. Attach to Cabinet: Position the cabinet section of the slide inside the cabinet opening, ensuring it is level and at the desired height. Mark the screw holes. Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary to prevent wood splitting. Secure the slide to the cabinet using the provided mounting screws.
3. Attach to Drawer: Position the drawer section of the slide on the side of the drawer. Ensure it is flush with the front of the drawer and parallel to the bottom edge. Mark screw holes, pre-drill if needed, and secure with screws.
4. Insert Drawer: Align the drawer sections with the cabinet sections and gently push the drawer into the cabinet until the slides engage. The self-closing mechanism will assist in the final closure.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed, your Hickory Hardware drawer slides are designed for smooth and quiet operation.

• Opening: Gently pull the drawer open. The slides will extend smoothly.
• Closing: Push the drawer inward. The self-closing mechanism will engage as the drawer approaches the closed position, pulling it shut quietly and completely.
• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the 50-pound load capacity to ensure longevity and proper function of the slides.

7. Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required for these drawer slides:

• Cleaning: Wipe the slides occasionally with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: The silent ball bearings are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. If any squeaking or stiffness occurs after extended use, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, avoiding excessive application.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
