Drawer slide runners

[ToughButterCup]

Now that the roof is on the piggery, and there's power in the building, its time to move my tools to their new home. I want ot make a  set of sliding shelves, each holding a Bosch L-Boxx with its tool.  Maximum weight  - 25 kg

 

The question is which sliding runner should I use for the shelves? The research I have done shows a wide range of price and complexity.

I'm willing to bet you can tell me what to avoid.... And perhaps be willing to recommend one or two makes.

I was thinking about this today as I picked up a nice wooden A0 sized plan chest and wanted to put proper sliders on the drawers

or you could have the push-open option

In my (self assembled, by others) kitchen and utility room I have about 20 different drawers. All runners were specced as self-closing Blum. They are great. From what I have seen, they last well. (They also appear to have a 'lifetime warranty')

 

If you are planning to live with these drawers for some time, I would definitely invest in Blum (or possibly Grass or Hettich).

 

One supplier is Isaaclord.co.uk. Another is drawerboxes.co.uk. (I bought from elsewhere).
