Advantage
Ball bearing drawer slides are heavy-duty metal slides that help drawers open and close smoothly, even under a lot of weight. Inside, they have small ball bearings that enable smooth sliding. This makes opening and closing of drawers to be easy without any sticking and wobbling. The great thing about ball bearing slides is they have a strong weight.
Benefits
Ball bearing drawer slides can be a little hard to install, but are worth the effort when it comes time for slide stuff. You’ll need a tape measure, pencil, screwdriver and level. Begin by measuring the inside of your drawer and cabinet. This helps you select the appropriate size slides. Once you have your slides, a drawer with metal track slips open.
Quality
Once the slide is attached to the ball bearing slides can move on to installing it in the cabinet. Open the cabinet and see where the slides would go. In most cases, this means the slides should be aligned with those on the drawer. Screw the slides to the inside of the cabinet like you did with the drawer. Make certain once again that they are straight. With both slides in place, gently ease the drawer into the cabinet.
