Accuride Slide installation

[Robert M Richardson]

Uncharacteristically I decided to read the instructions attached and see that under "Install drawer member" item 3 the drawing shows the part of the slide attached to the drawer is shown mounted 11/16" back from the rear of the drawer front resulting it seems to me in the drawer having an 11/16" gap between the rear of the front and the cabinet when closed. I must be missing something here. Full disclosure I've installed a few of the slides previously w/o the 11/16 gap. I'd appreciate being schooled on, as I said, what I'm missing.
Thanks
Robert

I think I'm figuring this out.

I think that’s a typo - nearly 3/4 of an inch gap makes no sense to me.

1/16” on the other hand…….

[Kevin Jenness]

Never used the 3932, but the drawer and case members typically close flush or nearly so. A 1/16" setback would give that much clearance for overlay drawer fronts. A mockup is never a bad idea.

Hey man I can't figure it out because I don't have access to the PDF:mad:

[Robert M Richardson]

Misprint, should be 1/16" makes good sense to me.
Thanks

A simple typo very well may be the answer.
It bugged me though that the typo is listed in both imperial and metric.

I contacted Accuride support and asked them about it. Maybe they will confirm it's just a typo.

100%, makes no sense that it would be any more than that. I've used these exact brand of slides and, ahem, didn't read the instructions and used about 1/16" or less and it worked fine. Really I always test the slides to see how far back they retract when closed before mounting. Based on where that tab ends up, that tells me how much gap to use. If it's flush, I use 1/16", if it's below, say 1/16", then I mount the tab flush to the drawer front.

Well,,that was quick..

Hi Richard,

Hope you are doing well today.

Model
Seems to be that the specification is wrong, it should be 1/8'' set back.
Thank you,

If you notice a discrepancy in the instructions where the drawer slide is shown mounted 11/16" back from the rear of the drawer front, resulting in a gap when closed, it's best to contact the manufacturer or their customer support for clarification. There may be an error in the instructions or a misunderstanding. They can provide you with the correct information or guide you through the installation process.

I asked Accuride support about it.
