Default Anyone use these soft close drawer adapters?

I thought the same thing as you, "the slides don't know how wide the
drawer is," and I believe I said that very thing to the rep. :-) He
said, after the drawer dimensions are wider than "square," the lateral
torque applied when opened or closed on one side or the other is what
gets them off track.

Ah, that's not the failure mechanism I was envisioning...

Yeah, failure is more of a "wobble alignment engagement" issue more so
than the soft close part of the slide failing to operate at all.
