sliding hardware to complete the project. It cannot be a full drawer
slide for obvious reasons you'll see when viewing the site. I'm
thinking I may be able to use these

Can anyone confirm they will work and/or suggest a place I can
purchase the proper slides needed?


The pocket door slide in your second link is not what you want for the
cabinet in the first link. The slides in the first link are just standard
slides. You can get those at any big box store. The only difference
between them and a traditional drawer is that they are mounted sideways.
The swingaway is just mounted to the style with a piano hinge.

The standard slides will not work. You will notice the cabinet unit
mount with hinge is mounted to the 14" x 6" piece of stock mounted to
the slide. A standard slide uses equal length tracks. There isn't any
way to install that mount to the track without it hindering the function
of the swing out cabinet.

The 14 x 6 mount cannot be mounted on the front section of the slides
since it needs to retract all the way in. It needs to be fastened at the
back of the slides. If you do that, you'll have the entire front section
of the slides sticking out, thus, hindering the area for the cabinet to
swing out. Therefore, the type of slides needed would contain an entire
outer track length with a small inner track section to allow full
movement within the entire outer track.
