Ensure your cabinetry stands the test of time with our professional-grade telescopic channels. At Hardware Depot, we provide the essential hardware that powers every modular kitchen and wardrobe. Whether you are a Furniture Manufacturer looking for bulk ball bearing slides or a Homeowner replacing worn-out runners, our collection offers the precision engineering required for a silent and smooth drawer experience.
Our 2026 range features zinc-plated telescopic slides from trusted brands like Ebco and Hettich. These channels are designed to handle significant weight without sagging, utilizing triple-ball-bearing technology to ensure that even a fully loaded kitchen drawer glides open with minimal effort.
Our Featured Telescopic Channel Range Includes:
-
45mm Heavy Duty Slides: The industry standard for kitchen drawers, offering superior stability and a high load-bearing capacity.
-
Full Extension Runners: Designed to allow the drawer to open completely, providing 100 percent access to items stored at the very back.
-
Soft-Close Telescopic Channels: Integrated hydraulic dampers that catch the drawer and close it silently, preventing slamming.
-
Corrosion Resistant Finishes: High-quality black or zinc coatings that protect the steel from moisture in Indian kitchens.
Q: What is the load capacity of a standard telescopic channel? A: Most of our 45mm telescopic channels are designed to handle between 35 and 45 kilograms per pair. For heavy-duty kitchen drawers or tool chests, we recommend our industrial-grade slides that can support significantly more weight without losing their smooth gliding motion.
Q: How do I measure the correct size for my drawer channels? A: You should measure the depth of your drawer box (not the cabinet). We stock all standard sizes, ranging from 10 inches to 24 inches. Using the correct telescopic slide length ensures the drawer opens fully and remains balanced when extended.
Q: Are ball bearing slides better than roller slides? A: Yes. Ball bearing telescopic channels are considered superior for modular furniture because they provide smoother motion, better lateral stability, and a higher weight capacity compared to traditional nylon roller slides.
Q: Can these channels be used for office file cabinets? A: Absolutely. Our full-extension telescopic slides are the top choice for office storage because they allow the user to see every file in the drawer. The heavy-duty steel construction ensures they can handle the weight of dense paperwork.
Q: Why are my drawer channels getting stuck? A: This is usually caused by dust accumulation or a lack of lubrication. We recommend cleaning the drawer tracks periodically and ensuring that the ball bearing runners are free of debris. High-quality Ebco or Hettich channels are designed to be low-maintenance but benefit from occasional care.
