Understanding Side Space & Flat Mounting | Accuride Drawer Slides

Side space is the gap that the slide fits into, and it is important not to overlook this measurement. For optimal operation, we recommend that the side space is measured wider than the slide thickness by +0.2mm to +0.5mm.

Flat mounting, also known as horizontal mounting, is when the drawer slide is installed on the base of the drawer unit instead of the sides. Not all slides are suitable for flat mounting, look for the 25kg icon on the product datasheets to see if your slide is suitable.

At Accuride, the experience of our customers is incredibly important to us. We want to make sure that you get the most out of our slides, which includes answering your questions about installation.
