Comparing Travel, Rail Length and a Locking Release
I built the drawer and surrounding cabinet as separate timber assemblies.
I lined the drawer before attaching the rails.
My slide purchases included a twenty-eight-inch over-travel format and other lengths.

My Takeaway from This Job
The motion choice involves more than the length printed on the package. GlideRite includes over-travel, AOLISHENG supplies conventional extension rails, and the thirty-six-inch KCOLVSION alternative adds a locking mechanism with a longer rail format.
Over-travel, locking action and rail length are distinct slide features.
Product Details And Van-Build Uses
Specification
Product Detail
Series
70-series ball-bearing side-mount slide
Nominal Length
28 inches; manufacturer lists 27.5-inch actual length
Extension
One-inch overtravel
Side Clearance
Half an inch per side
Overtravel brings a drawer farther out than an ordinary full-extension slide, which can help reach items toward the back of a storage drawer. GlideRite’s 70-series instructions explain cabinet-member and drawer-member installation, adjustment slots and final locking screws. The clearance belongs in the cabinet and drawer width calculations before cutting panels. The manufacturer’s installation sheet covers several slide series, including the 70 series.
The 70-series product adds one inch of overtravel beyond full extension. That feature is part of the original slide identity on this page.

Two Alternatives to Compare
AOLISHENG supplies conventional side-mount slide options. The KCOLVSION 36-inch locking pair offers a longer rail and a locking mechanism, changing both the required space and movement control.
