100 lb. class drawer slide with best-in-class soft-close module features patented Force Management™ Technology that delivers the lowest opening pull force while ensuring effective dampening closure that eliminates drawer slamming.
New Force ManagementTM (FM) from Knape & Vogt is the next generation of soft-close drawer slide technology. FM technology establishes a new standard in soft-close functionality by delivering superior performance in dampening action, effortless drawer opening and smooth operation.
