Telescopic slides 

Furniture enhances one's home, reflects the character of the owner and is also functional. They house all our belongings, keep things tidy and help us to find things again quickly. The easy and silent opening and closing of drawers is essential for their use. Because nothing is more annoying than a drawer that jams, drags or hangs crooked. This is where our telescopic slides come into play. They allow you to move flexible elements comfortably - without any noise and without wearing out the furniture unnecessarily. As a side effect, your furniture will also enjoy greater stability and better load-bearing capacity without you having to make any compromises in terms of storage space.

Practical opening and closing with telescopic slides

To ensure that drawers only open when we want them to, many telescopic slides are equipped with a locking mechanism. This prevents them from accidentally popping open. This means that a small push is required to get the drawer to move. This push-to-open method has meanwhile proved its worth because it represents the perfect combination of convenience and design. There is also the self-closing mechanism, which ensures that drawers can be closed again gently and easily. You can further optimise the pull-in action with soft-closing: A braking mechanism ensures that the drawer closes particularly gently and silently. Loud bangs and annoying squeaks are a thing of the past. In addition, your furniture is protected.

High-quality telescopic slides with partial, full and over-extension runners

While a full-extension runner allows you to pull out a drawer completely, a partial-extension runner limits this to three quarters of the depth. What you ultimately choose depends on the area of application: while partial-extension versions make sense for bedroom chests, for example, a full-extension drawer is needed for waste drawers in order to be able to conveniently insert and remove larger items such as a waste bin. In addition, there are over-extension runners that allow the drawer to be pulled out over its full length. So weigh up the options carefully before deciding on a specific variant.

3 common questions about telescopic slides and our answers

We know from experience that questions often arise in practice. Therefore, we have summarised answers to the three most frequently asked questions:

In what length should I order my telescopic slides?

This depends on the area of application - so measuring in advance is the key. At Heimwerkertools you will find high-quality telescopic slides in various lengths - from 250 to 1000 mm. But be careful with the load: For normal drawers, telescopic slides with a load capacity of 30 to 45 kg are usually sufficient. If the desired contents are heavier, be sure to check the manufacturer's information.

Where are heavy-duty telescopic rails used?

For cabinets where particularly heavy loads are intended, our heavy-duty telescopic rails are used. These have a load-bearing capacity of up to several hundred kilos. Especially for heavy equipment in your workshop or kitchen, such pull-outs can be the ideal solution.

What is the difference between roller runners, telescopic runners and underfloor runners?

Rolling drawer slides are equipped with rollers and are usually cheaper, but require more space. Telescopic runners, on the other hand, are only interlocked, mounted on the side of the drawer and save space in height. Underfloor runners are another option. They are installed below the drawer.
