I think you may have the answer, but I couldn't tell from the Accuride
picture
what the mechanism is--probably magnets. They are harder to open but do
close
nicely.

No, these were not improperly installed. All were the same in two or three
houses (WICs), and closed by themselves (last few inches).

In your original post you stated "hard to pull out for the first few inches
and when closing the last few inches would fight to close".

Some of us obviously, and erroneously, took that to mean they were hard to
open ... and you had to "fight to close" them.

Sounds like they were operating per the "self closing" design of many of the
modern drawer slides on the market.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. (it was all Leon's fault)
