Telescopic Slides
Overview
Vention offers two lengths of telescopic slides, 450 mm and 600 mm. A simple drawer will need two telescopic slide assemblies.
For straightforward assembly, the arrows on each slide indicate which way the slide will pull out when the assembly is finished.

Technical Specifications
The 450 mm slide extends to 900 mm, and the 600 mm slide extends to 1190 mm. For both lengths, the maximum load capacity is 45 kg when fully extended. Drawer box width should not exceed closed slide length.
Both lengths feature a soft close, which prevents the slides from slamming shut. Soft close engages for the last 50 mm of travel.
Note that the choice of mounting holes—where to insert the fasteners—depends on your slide length, as well as which side (inner or outer) is being attached to the mounting plate. See the table below, under step three, for details.
Assembly Instructions
- Attach the telescopic slide mounting plate to an extrusion using two M8 x 18 mm flat head fasteners (or two M8 x 12 mm fasteners, for a light-duty extrusion). Ensure that the plate is in the correct position, because you will not be able to move it after attaching the telescopic slide.
- Pull each slide into two parts. To do so, fully extend the slide, then push the small lever and pull further. The inner slide should now be separated from the outer slide.
- Attach each of the slide parts to its corresponding telescopic slide mounting plate using M4 x 6-mm fasteners. Align the tab end of the slide with the end of the mounting plate; they should be flush. See the table below for guidance on which mounting holes to use.
| Slide Length | Side | Mounting Holes |
|---|---|---|
| MO-LM-021-0450 | Inner | 1, 2, 6 |
| Outer | 1, 2, 3, 4 | |
| MO-LM-021-0600 | Inner | 1, 2, 5, 9 |
| Outer | 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 |
Next, we recommend fully assembling the drawer. It’s usually easier to finish the drawer before putting the slide back together.
To put the slide back together, slide the extrusion assembly with the inner slide into the outer slide. Push the assembly into the slide until the soft close mechanism engages and the slide closes automatically. If the soft close feature does not work the first time, you might have to cycle (gently open and close) the telescopic slides a few times.
