Best place to get Blumotion slides

[Wes Billups]

I'm at the point of ordering parts for a cabinet build and can't figure out which slides to order. It's for a bathroom so I'm looking at 18" slides.

Why the big price difference?

Rockler has these 18" ones for $39.99/each.

Amazaon has them for $18.00/each.

They then also have these listed for $39.00/each.

What's the difference between the 563H and 569H? Does anyone know what the model number Rockler sells? I think they purposely don't list it on their website.

Thanks for the help,
Wes

Find a cabinet hardware distributer in your area. Not only can they tell you exactly what you need but they are probably the cheapest also.

563's are a 85# slide, the 569 is a 125# slide. I think those are the numbers anyways.

.. Does anyone know what the model number Rockler sells? I think they purposely don't list it on their website...

On the Rockler page, in the Technical Documents section, click on Blum Tandem Drawer Slide Instructions. What you get is the Blum data sheet for the 563 and 563H.

When you're buying slides like this, remember that you have to also buy the locking devices, and remember to check the shipping costs.

www.wwhardware.com is a good place to shop for hardware like this. They have lots of technical info, and better prices than Rockler.

Rockier is a retailer. You will get better pricing from a wholesaler.

I doubt you will find better prices anywhere than AH Turf. http://ahturf.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=882_883_897&product_id=10161

Ya but, that link goes directly to an accuride product- definitely not the same class of hardware.

+1 on AHTurf.

Here's the link for 563H http://ahturf.com/store/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=563H
and the one for 569H http://ahturf.com/store/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=569H

Looks like prices are slightly lower than Amazon.

Sorry, I didn't see where the link went beyond AH Turf. I figured anyone interested could find Blum from there. And it's worth your effort because they offer great prices and great service.
