Side-mount push to open

[Mark Gibney]

A client has the Accuride side-mount push to open slides on two drawers.
One drawer is too light to have the momentum needed for the drawer to close with a push.

Is there a similar type slide I can use for this drawer? Can't find one online.

I'm considering attaching a 1/2" steel plate to the underside of the drawer box to get to the needed weight but I'd prefer a simpler solution.

Thanks!

I think you’ll find the same issue with other PtO runners. They all need a certain amount of mass to prime the opener.

So, adding the plate(s) prob. is the easiest solution.

Thanks Dave, I suspected that would be it.
