What if my application has a higher load than Accuride’s recommended one?
We test our products for recommended loads. Exceeding that rating may affect performance and durability. NOTE: Accuride’s Limited Lifetime Warranty does not cover slides damaged for any use contrary to instructions. That includes loads that exceed our recommendation.
Can I mount slides on the bottom of a drawer instead of the sides?
We recommend mounting the slides as they were designed. Using otherwise will likely affect their performance and durability, unless specified otherwise.

We have several models of slides designed for bottom-mounting. You can find them on our Drawer Slides page. There you’ll find our full range of slides arranged by category, including undermount (bottom-mount).
