Default full extension slides for vertical partitions

Any help appreciated, thanx!


If I understand correctly, you basically have a sliding shelf, turned on its
edge?


Heh. Yeah, exactly. I wonder why I didn't think of describing it so
succinctly.

If so, why not normal full extension slides mounted top and bottom instead
of side to side ... this is what I use on pull-out spice racks?


I guess I am just concerned about weight-load and those slides on their
sides like that. Perhaps I am over-estimating the weight load. The
"shelves" will be 24"x13", probably 1/2" plywood or so, with various
hand (mostly) tools hanging on them. Could get a bit heavy I guess. I
have some of those slides for some sliding shelves for the same
project. Maybe I should mount a couple sideways and see how strong
they are.

Also might want to take a look at the various configurations of Flipper door
hinges and slides.


Yeah, that is the sort of thing that Morris Dovey suggested but they
mount against the cabinet sides.

Thanx for the ideas though,
