How do self close drawers work?
How Do They Work? Soft close drawers work thanks to their runners, which feature hydraulic dampeners that allow the drawer to close smoothly and silently, even if someone attempts to push it to shut with a lot of pressure. The dampener takes over the closure of the drawer when it reaches a certain point.

What is an automatic drawer?
Automatic closing drawers work mechanically to glide the drawer back into the cabinet. There’s no motor, just ball bearings that allow the drawer to slip back into the cabinet using only gravity. Self-closing drawers work perfectly for years if they are properly adjusted to begin with.
What is the benefit of drawers?
If you have a lot of small appliances, pots, pans, cutlery and crockery, then drawers will definitely help you to organize these utensils more efficiently compared to door cabinets. Drawers increase the amount of useable space within a kitchen.
Take into consideration any obstacles inside the cabinet, such as nailers or stretchers, as well as whether your drawers are full inset or overlay. Full inset drawers will reduce the maximum depth of the drawer. Typically, side-mount ball-bearing slides should be the same length as the drawer box.

Measure the box, not the drawer front
Start at the back of the box and measure to the front of the box without including the face of the drawer. Once you have the length, round the number down. For example, if the drawer is 20 ½ inches long you will need to purchase 20 inch drawer slides.
What is the maximum drawer size?
The rule of thumb is 1.5 times the length of the drawer slide. If you have a standard depth kitchen cabinet then the normal length of drawer slide is 22”. If you multiply 22” x 1.5 = 33”. You can go wider, but the wider you go the more chance that the slide will not pull out as smoothly as you hope or expect.
