About Plastrack Faaseʻe o le Latou (Drawer Slide)
O le Plastrack o se faaseʻe o le latou (drawer slide) ua mamanuina ina ia faapipiʻi e aunoa ma ni meafaigaluega. O le faaseʻe ua faia i le palasitika malosi ua faamalosia i le uʻamea (steel-reinforced plastic) i se vaega e tasi ua faia i le injection molding. O le tino autū e aofia ai vaega o ala taʻiala (guide rail modules) e tutusa lelei, e lokaina i pu ua saunia muamua i le kapoti e ala i ni piʻi faapipiʻi faalelei (elastic clips), o lea e lē manaʻomia ai ni faʻamau (screws). E fetaui le Plastrack i kapoti eseese o le loloto ma e lagolagoina uma le faapipiʻiina i autafa ma le pito i lalo. O le auala e aunoa ma faʻamau e faapuupuu ai le taimi o le faapipiʻiina ma e ʻalofia ai le paʻi atu i faʻamau maʻai. E foia foʻi e le mamanu le tau ma le faatapulaʻaina o le fetaui o faaseʻe uʻamea masani.

- Unique Properties
- This product is made of high strength steel plastic in one piece and innovatively realizes the tool-free installation of drawer slides. The main body is composed of symmetrical guide rail modules, which can be quickly locked with the preset holes of the cabinet through elastic clips, eliminating the screw tightening process required for traditional metal slide rails. It can be adapted to various cabinets of different depths and supports both side installation and bottom installation modes.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 17mm x Depth 250mm x Height 15 mm
- Tags
- Quick install structure, screw free installation, universal components.
- Production Technology
- The barrel body of the product is made of high-strength steel and plastic through one piece injection molding. The product undergoes 12 quality inspections throughout the process to ensure that it does not deform after 100,000 pull out tests. The snap-on slider structure ensures that the drawer fits tightly and pulls smoothly.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in the implementation and research process is how to meet the requirements of safety and ease of operation, improve durability, and at the same time be compatible with products of different drawer types. Finally, through continuous refinement of 3D models and sample verification, this innovative drawer slide rail was designed.
- Research
- The installation of traditional metal slide rails requires professional tools, which is time consuming and laborious. There are many screws, the operation remains unchanged, and at the same time, the price is high. We innovatively achieve tool free installation of drawer slides, replacing metal with plastic. This not only ensures safety and ease of operation, enhances durability, but also improves the aesthetic appeal of the product.
- Inspiration
- Two major pain points of traditional metal slide rails: 1. Installation requires professional tools, which is time consuming and laborious; 2. Iron parts are expensive and have poor compatibility. Inspired by the connection structure of plastic snap type shelves, the core concept of using plastic slide rails to replace the metal parts fixed by screws is proposed. Carry out modular design to enable the slide rails to adapt to different cabinet bodies.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Shenzhen in October 2024 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The entire installation process is screw free to prevent users from being scratched by screws.
Confirm the inner width of the cabinet, select the corresponding length of the slide rail, insert the protruding point on the side of the slide rail into the pre opened hole on the side of the cabinet, and press down to lock it. 2. Pull the slide rail to its longest length, align the groove of the drawer side panel with the protrusion of the guide rail and press it down, then fasten the internal buttons. - Team Members
