The sliding mechanism on a furniture drawer is commonly called a drawer slide, drawer runner, or drawer glide. These mechanical assemblies consist of precision metal tracks, ball-bearing carriages, and mounting brackets attached to the sides or bottom of the drawer box and the interior walls of the cabinet. They allow the drawer to extend smoothly, bear heavy loads, and prevent tipping when fully opened. High-end modern slides frequently include integrated features like soft-close dampeners or self-closing mechanisms to eliminate slamming and ensure long-term durability.
