I bought KCOLVSION 36-Inch Locking Drawer Slides as part of my camper van equipment.

Separating Rail Length from the Drawer Construction Sequence
I planned the storage assembly in SketchUp and simulated the roof dimensions on the patio.
I built the drawer and surrounding cabinet frame as separate parts.
I joined them with slides after fitting the drawer base and lining.

My Takeaway from This Job
My storage purchases include both thirty-six-inch and twenty-inch locking sets. The useful decision is to compare the intended drawer travel and available mounting depth first, then compare the release and rail arrangement.
The longer rail purchase belongs to a different space decision from the shorter set.

Mechanism
Locking release
The thirty-six-inch KCOLVSION slides use three telescoping sections with a release handle incorporated into the rail. The exact product reference describes full extension and removal of the moving section for installation. Those are separate functions: extension exposes the drawer contents, while separation gives access to the mounting surfaces. For a deep van equipment drawer, rail length, cabinet depth and the room beside the drawer need to be planned together. My existing drawer-building sequence remains intact, with these longer rails kept separate from the twenty-inch set elsewhere in my purchases.
The listing describes unlocking the rail and releasing the moving section for installation. The slide’s travel and release functions are separate layout details.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The twenty-inch KCOLVSION set offers a shorter locking format. The AOLISHENG set provides another slide assembly, making rail length and mounting layout central to the comparison.
