Drawer Slide Mounting & Accessories
Drawer Slide Mounting & Accessories
Here you will find accessories for mounting, adjusting and completing drawer slides and pull-out systems. The range includes connecting clips, dampers, synchronisation components, adjustment fittings, installation aids and other accessories for different types of drawer slides.
Many accessories are designed for a specific slide series or model. Always check compatibility before ordering, particularly for undermount drawer slides and systems such as Salice Futura and Progressa.
Connecting clips and fittings
Undermount drawer slides often use dedicated clips or connecting fittings to attach the drawer to the slides. These components allow the drawer to be fitted and removed and, depending on the system, may also provide adjustment.
Clips and connecting fittings are generally system-specific. A component designed for one Futura or Progressa slide may therefore not be compatible with another model or series.
Drawer adjustment
The correct adjustment fittings allow the drawer position to be fine-tuned after installation. Depending on the system, height, side and depth adjustment may be available. Some systems also provide tilt adjustment for the drawer front.
Adjustment options vary between slide systems and clips, so always check the product information for the specific combination.
Dampers and soft-close
Dampers slow the drawer during the final part of closing and provide smoother, more controlled movement. Some drawer slides have integrated soft-close, while other systems can be fitted with a separate damper.
Always make sure the damper is designed for the specific slide or series. Soft-close cannot be retrofitted to every drawer slide.
Synchronisation for wide and handleless drawers
Synchronisation systems link the operation of both sides of the drawer. They are particularly useful for wide drawers and selected Push-to-open systems, where synchronisation allows the opening mechanism to operate correctly even when the drawer front is pressed near one side.
Synchronisation may use rods, connectors or other system-specific components. Always check which synchronisation system is designed for the particular drawer slide.
Installation aids
Installation aids and templates make it easier to position slides, clips and other fittings correctly. They are particularly useful for production work or when several drawers are being installed to the same dimensions.
The correct installation aid can also reduce the need for adjustment afterwards and help ensure the correct clearances from the start.
Check which components are required
Some accessories are essential for mounting and operating the drawer slide, while others add extra functions or adjustment options. Clips, connecting fittings or dedicated mounting components may, for example, be mandatory for a particular system.
Always check the product information for both the slide and the accessory. If you need parts for an existing slide, the manufacturer, series, model number or product code is the best starting point for identifying the correct components.
Frequently Asked Questions About Drawer Slide Mounting & Accessories
What accessories do I need for drawer slides?
It depends on the type of slide and system. Undermount slides often require dedicated clips or connecting fittings, while other slides can be mounted directly. Synchronisation components, dampers or other system-specific accessories may also be required.
Are clips and connecting fittings included with the slides?
This varies by product. Some slides include the required fittings, while clips or connecting components for other models are sold separately.
Do the same clips fit Futura and Progressa?
Not generally. Clips and connecting fittings are often designed for a specific slide series or model, so always check compatibility with the exact slide.
Can the drawer be adjusted after installation?
Yes, with many systems. Depending on the slide and clips, adjustment may be available for height, side and depth. Some systems also offer tilt adjustment for the drawer front.
Can soft-close be retrofitted?
Some systems can be fitted with a separate damper or soft-close unit afterwards, but this is not possible with every drawer slide.
When is synchronisation required?
Synchronisation is used for applications such as wide drawers and selected Push-to-open systems, where both sides need to work together correctly.
What are installation templates used for?
Installation templates help position slides, clips and other fittings at the correct locations and spacing, particularly when several identical drawers are being installed.
How do I find the correct accessory for an existing drawer slide?
Start with the manufacturer, series, model number or product code of the slide. Accessories are often system-specific.
Are all accessories required for installation?
No. Some components may be essential for mounting, while others add features such as damping, synchronisation or additional adjustment.
