How it works
The drawer slide uses a ball bearing cage system combined with a hydraulic or pneumatic damper. When you push the drawer closed, the soft-close mechanism engages in the final centimeters, gently pulling and slowing the movement until fully closed—preventing slamming and minimizing wear on both slide and furniture.[6][7][9]
