For nearly 50 years, Comtrad has been synonymous with top-quality hardware products that stand the test of time. Our CGS line, known for its functional and decorative hardware, continues to set industry standards. Let’s explore what makes the CGS 3 slides a superior choice for various applications.
Superior Features of CGS 3 Slides
Heavy Gauge Zinc Plated Steel Construction
Crafted from high-quality zinc plated steel, the CGS 3 slides are built for durability and strength. This heavy-gauge construction ensures the slides can handle rigorous daily use, maintaining their performance and appearance over time.
Front Lever Disconnect
The front lever disconnect feature allows for easy installation and removal of drawers. This tool-free mechanism simplifies setup, maintenance, and adjustments, making it a favorite among professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
32mm Hole Pattern
The 32mm hole pattern provides a versatile and standardized mounting system, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cabinetry and furniture designs. This feature adds to the ease of installation and enhances the adaptability of the slides.
Ball Bearing Carriage Hold Out Feature
The ball bearing carriage hold out feature ensures smooth and reliable drawer operation. This mechanism provides stability and prevents unwanted drawer movement, enhancing the user experience with seamless gliding action.
1/2″ Slide Clearance
With a 1/2″ slide clearance, the CGS 3 slides offer ample space for drawer operation, preventing any potential interference and ensuring smooth performance even under heavy loads.
45KG (100lb.) KCMA Tested Dynamic
The CGS 3 slides are rigorously tested to meet KCMA dynamic load standards, capable of supporting up to 45KG (100lb.). This certification guarantees their robustness and reliability, making them suitable for demanding environments.

The slides have been tested and approved by BIFMA standards, ensuring they meet stringent criteria for quality and performance in commercial settings. This certification underscores their suitability for office furniture and other professional applications.
