Santa Fe Springs, CA—Accuride International announces the launch of their newly refreshed web site designed with enhanced imagery and navigation features for a more user-friendly experience

The Woodworking and Architectural section is focused towards woodworkers who design and build wood cabinetry, casework, and furniture. It also includes helpful information specific to architects, designers, and specifiers. The Industrial and Electromechanical section reaches out to an extended range of industries with custom and off-the-shelf solutions for applications such as major appliances, automotive/vehicular, machinery, and electronic enclosures.
Visitors may download technical sheets, CAD files, literature, and reference charts to assist in product and accessory kit selection. Authorized distributors are easily located by ZIP/postal code or state/province.

New Easy-Close Option for Model 3832
Accuride introduces the 3832 Easy-Close (EC), a 100-pound, full extension, side mount slide designed to bring drawers to a smooth, gentle close.
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.
Accuride International manufactures precision ball bearing slides for a variety of applications and has six locations worldwide; each governed by a quality management system registered to ISO 9001:2000.
