Designed for wide-base cabinetry, this 26-inch organizer is constructed from high-tensile carbon steel with a nano-powder coating to resist oxidation. Specifications indicate the use of industrial-grade three-section slides that allow for full extension, giving you access to items at the very back of the cabinet. To ensure the 26-inch span remains level, the unit includes a reinforced base plate that helps prevent the "center-sag" often seen in wider drawers. This model is built to handle a functional weight of up to 55 lbs while maintaining a smooth glide.
Installation requires a precise internal clearance of at least 26.4 inches; if the cabinet is exactly 26 inches wide, the rails may bind against the sides. Because of the weight this drawer can hold, it is helpful to use sturdy #8 wood screws for mounting rather than standard stock screws, especially if your cabinets are made of composite material or MDF. This prevents the hardware from pulling loose under the leverage of a fully loaded drawer. Some users find that applying a small amount of lithium grease to the slides helps maintain the smooth travel of the ball bearings over time.
The nano-coat finish is a practical feature for kitchen environments, as it stands up well to cleaning agents and humidity. This unit is a robust choice for those looking to retrofit large cabinets with a high-capacity storage solution.
For narrower cabinets where space is at a premium, you may want to consider the 2-tier spice rack organizer as a more compact alternative.
