Santa Fe Springs, CA-Accuride introduces the 3832 Easy-Close (EC), a 100-pound, full extension, side mount slide designed to bring drawers to a smooth, gentle close.

The 3832EC enhances installations requiring safe and quiet operation. In commercial or institutional settings, it is well suited to cabinetry and casework found in libraries, schoolrooms, laboratories or hospitals, and high-end retail stores. In residential applications, the quiet performance is valued in nearly every part of the home, especially in a child’s room or baby’s nursery.

The easy-close action on this product has an automatic reset and begins about 1.75" from drawer closure. This increased distance, or stroke, helps to prevent pinched fingers. The pull-force required to open the drawer is less than that typically found on slides with a soft close feature. This was engineered with the end user in mind to provide a balance between the closing and opening actions, thus preventing the drawer from pulling out of the user’s hand and unintentionally re-closing.

The 3832EC has a lever disconnect and Accuride’s signature cam drawer front adjustment. The easy-close mechanism is partially shielded, which prevents debris from entering during cabinet construction. This product is available in even lengths of 14" to 28", in clear zinc, black, and white finishes. The zinc and white finishes are RoHS compliant.

Santa Fe Springs, CA - Accuride announces the availability of new timesaving Production Packaging for slide models 3832 (lengths 10"-28" only), 3834 and 3732 (all lengths).

Production packaging is unique in that the slides are shipped with the drawer members disconnected from the cabinet members. The two types of members are packaged separately within the same box, which allows the drawer members to be distributed to a different area of the cabinet shop for installation. Cabinetmakers using 100 pairs of slides per month can save approximately one full day of labor per year with production packaging.
