Benefits of locking drawer slides

Storage space
When you’re on the road, every cubic centimetre of space needs to be utilised to its maximum capacity. With drawer slides you can make the most of your vehicle’s storage. It’s easy to pack the cargo drawers with whatever you need knowing that it’s all easily accessible with smooth-action slides.
Types of ute drawer slides
Ball bearing drawer slides
Ball bearing drawer slides are quite popular and commonly installed in utes, 4WDs and campervans. Easy to install and smooth in operation, it’s easy to understand why these are among the most popular of slides.
Roller drawer slides
Roller drawer slides are also easy to install but they can be slightly more complex to operate. Despite not offering the same level of seamlessness as ball bearing slides, roller drawer slides still offer all the functionality you need.
Friction drawer slides
Friction drawer slides are good for use in application when ball bearing and roller slides are not appropriate. Friction drawer slides may not be quite as practical as the alternate options but it does minimise the potential for issues of mis-alignment, especially in vehicular fitouts and re-installation.
How do locking drawer slides work?
Thanks to the simple lock-in and lock-out mechanism, locking drawer slides are more practical and safe to use. Even when your 4WD or campervan is parked on uneven terrain or a slope, you won’t have to worry about the cargo drawers opening or closing when you don’t want them to. The locking mechanism will keep the drawer fully closed or completely open whenever you need it.
Why we use stainless steel for our drawer slides
Stainless steel offers many benefits, including:
