DIY fridge slide.

[Serg5000]

As I mentioned in one of the posts. I didn't want to re invent the wheel so I copied someone's lock. How ever. To avoid the slide from coming out when drawn out. I put two stops. Not really locks. But they serve the purpose.

The next two are of the rear stops.

Can you post a materials list? Hard to tell how thick some materials is. And is the a reason you went with steel rack versus aluminum?

Materials list will come later today or tomorrow.

Took the fridge out for a test fully loaded. No squeaks. No rattles. No movement at all. It work flawless.

Very well done! Thanks for documenting this - I always fail to get pics of my projects during the prototype/build portion.

1. 3"x3"X1/4" Aluminum base.

2. 3"x5/16" Aluminum cross braces.

3. 1"X1"x.095". The glide rail.

4. 3"x5/16" glide rail cross braces.

Hey bud i see this was back in 2016 but i really like what you did. Is there a way by any chance you could add an extension to something like that?

 

[jeff6146]

Also, is that metal on metal on the bottom or do you have something there?

Sorry to resurrect a year-old thread, but I’m curious why aluminum on the base instead of steel. My guess is weight, but it could have only been a couple pounds different for something this size. Any other reason I’m not thinking of?

Been trying to figure out an easy slide for my rig. It’ll be supported on the tailgate when extended, so I don’t need much, but I do what it to slide well.

Thanks for the great pics and ideas.
