Installation Guide
Choosing the Right Size
To determine the correct slide length, measure the depth of your drawer and cabinet without the frame board. The length of the slides should be less than or equal to the drawer depth. A space of 0.76 inches (19.2 mm) is required between the drawer and the cabinet wall on both the left and right sides for proper installation.

Step-by-Step Installation
- Marking: Mark the desired positions for the slides on both the drawer and the cabinet.
- Mount Outer Slide: Securely mount the outer slide rail inside the cabinet using the provided screws and nuts. Ensure it is level and aligned.
- Mount Inner Slide: Attach the inner slide rail to the side of the drawer.
- Assemble: Carefully align the drawer with the cabinet and push the drawer into the cabinet until the slides engage.

Operation
The VEVOR drawer slides are designed for smooth and secure operation. To open the drawer, simply pull it outwards. The 3-fold full extension allows the drawer to come out completely. To close, push the drawer inwards. The integrated locking mechanism ensures the drawer remains securely closed or open at its full extension. To release the lock, gently push the yellow lever located on the slide. This mechanism prevents accidental opening or closing, providing stability for heavy loads.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VEVOR drawer slides.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the slide rails with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the electroplated surface.
- Lubrication: The ball bearings are pre-lubricated. If you notice any stiffness or increased noise over time, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the ball bearings. Do not over-lubricate.
- Inspection: Regularly check all mounting screws and nuts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the slides for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your drawer slides, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Drawer is Stiff or Noisy:
- Check for debris on the slide rails and clean them thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the ball bearings.
- Ensure the drawer is not overloaded, exceeding the 250 lbs capacity.
- Drawer Does Not Close or Open Fully:
- Verify that the slides are correctly aligned and not obstructed.
- Check for any bent or damaged parts of the slide mechanism.
- Ensure the locking mechanism is not engaged unintentionally.
- Drawer is Loose or Wobbly:
- Tighten all mounting screws on both the drawer and the cabinet.
