Romanys 16-Inch Ball Bearing Drawer Runner, Full Extension, 45kg Load

Romanys 16-Inch Drawer Runner

The Romanys Drawer Runner 16 inch telescopic slide provides a high-performance movement solution for internal cabinetry and furniture storage systems. This zinc-plated steel hardware utilizes precision ball bearings to ensure a smooth glide even when the drawer is fully loaded. It is designed for side-mount installation in kitchen units, office pedestals, and workshop tool chests.

Built for the Job

Contractors and shopfitters specify this hardware for its reliable 45kg load rating and full-extension capability. Unlike standard roller runners, this telescopic design allows the drawer to open completely, providing unobstructed access to the rear of the storage space. The cold-rolled steel construction withstands frequent daily use in high-traffic environments like commercial kitchens or busy offices. Installers appreciate the standard 32mm hole pattern which aligns with most modern carcass manufacturing standards.

• Installation of new kitchen cabinetry and pantry pull-outs.

• Retrofitting failed nylon runners in office furniture or desks.

• Building custom workshop storage for hand tools and hardware.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x Pair of 16-inch runners (Left and Right sides)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure a precise 12.7mm (0.5 inch) clearance between the drawer box and the cabinet side for optimal glide performance.

• Use #6 or #8 pan head screws to prevent the screw heads from interfering with the internal ball bearing carriage.

• Always check that the carcass is level and square before mounting to prevent the mechanism from binding or self-opening.

• For high-moisture environments, periodic application of a dry lubricant can help maintain the steel ball paths.
