Forty years of Accuride 3000

Many in the furniture and joinery industry will be aware of Accuride Drawer Slides, and the Accuride 3832 is a recognised leading solution for furniture manufacturers.

Just a few years after Jet Press was founded in 1977, Accuride designed the Model 3000. This was the first telescopic slide designed by Accuride, and helped cement the company’s reputation for premium craftsmanship and reliability. Jet Press became a UK distributor for Accuride in 2001, and on the back of this successful partnership, became a distributor for the German market in April 2019.

In the furniture world the 3832 provides smooth movement, time after time, for kitchen drawers, pull-out shelves and PoS trays, to name just a few applications. It is a light-duty, mild steel slide with a load rating of 50kg. To ensure this drawer slide provides a long, trouble-free life, Accuride tests the 3832 for 80,000 open-and-close cycles. 

There are numerous features that make a pair of 3832s the first choice for many designers. Firstly, it offers full extension so the user can access everything inside the drawer. It also has front disconnect, so they can remove the drawer – a helpful feature for cleaning. There is also a hold-in detent to prevent roll-out and bounce back. 

Accuride also thinks about making life easier for the people manufacturing furniture. Its patented Cam Drawer Adjust allows for precise vertical adjustment, and a new face frame hole provides easy access to mounting. An optional clip-on bracket is available for bottom and platform mounting.

Jet Press carries stocks of seven versions of the Accuride 3832 including black, white and harsh environment options, and has access to the full range of slides. The team has unrivalled expertise and experience in the furniture and joinery industry, and is happy to work with clients to design the best solution.
