Hello everyone
I have a slightly unusual project to make which is basically a built-in chest of 8 drawers in painted MDF with a solid hardwood 30 or 40mm top. The top needs to be able to slide forwards i.e. away from the wall about 150mm revealing a compartment inside behind the upper drawers. I don't know enough about kitchen drawers and slides to know which products to look at - I wondered about a ball-bearing drawer slide mounted underneath and 'inside' the cabinet sides with stops to limit the excursion to 150mm but I wondered if any Hafele experts could point me in a better direction? Is there a more appropriate product? Also - the top needs to be locked in place and only released when required via a catch or mechanism which is not visible from the outside - I was thinking of an elbow catch or similar - any other ideas? Thanks as always.
Cheers Mark
