Operates smoothly, prevents sagging or binding and allows a wide range of leaf openings. 36'' slides are ideal for large rectangular tables. Gives maximum opening of 38 or 64''. Generally the length of the closed slides should be at least 2/3rds the length of the closed table. Sold in pairs. Available in wood or steel.

Our table sagged so much we would not use it opened. Installed the new metal slides and it now sit's fully extended with zero sag. Happy wife happy life! Very easy to install, well worth the cost and best of all made in the USA!
I'm very happy with the extension slides. They replace the original wood ones that broke over Thanksgiving dinner and had the table bowing by the end of the meal. Needed replacements by Christmas dinner! They arrived promptly and were easy to install. Table was ready for Christmas and was easily opened/closed with the new slides.
Wish it was a little less expensive, but it brought an old table back to life. Was extremely easy to set up as a replacement, felt very solid and works very smoothly.
It was easy to install and much easier to open and close than the shorter one it replaced. Went from 18inch extension to over 60 inch extension. I would definitely recommend this extension slide.
We were given a maple table that sagged badly when the leaves were in place. We figured out the problem - the wood slides on the table were not a matched set (we had two of the same slides). It's possible a new set of wood slides would have fixed the problem. But, to be safe, we purchased the steel slides and are very pleased. Easy to install and no more sag!
These metal 36" slides were perfect for our 65" - 83" table that has two 18" extensions. Installation went well following online instructions and the table slides and extends better than it ever has even when new! Tip - use a magnet on your screwdriver to hold your mounting screws - you will need it to lower your screws through the rails to get them to the pre-drilled positions.
We were repairing an " antique" kitchen table - the wood on the extension mechanism was breaking when used. The Rockler replacement was easy to install - instruction are on - line, not with the mechanism. The height was less than the old one so we had to add a piece to attach the center, 5th, sliding leg. No problem to do that. Table now opens easily - and my wife wants me to make another leaf or two since it opens wider (and there is the center leg for support).
I used these slides to replace handmade maple dovetail slides on a 2 leaf walnut Queen Anne style table. The table was made in Virginia and we live in Florida. The humidity eventually made the original slides swell and warp so bad that 2 Sumo wrestlers were required to open and close it. I replaced them in an hour and then made a third leaf for the table. Now we can have 6 friends for dinner and be comfortable. The slides are easy to extend and are every bit as stout as the maple slides were.
Worked perfectly. Metal slides are strong with no sag at full extension. Layout, square up and attach. Fabricate new leaves- you're done. Great product.
We have an old oak dining room table. The wood extensions have dried out become loose and when we extended the table for Thanksgiving it collapsed. These metal extensions are well made, very strong. Even when fully extended with 3, 12 in leaves that are 1 and 1/4 inches thick, there was no sag at all. Definitely worth it. Make sure slides are parallel and square.
I looked at several wood table slides and some were finger jointed which is not acceptable for me. These slides are made out of solid Maple and the sticker says Made In Canada. They don't come with screws but I found some pan head screws that worked fine to attach the slides to my table. They slide very easily and I'm sure they'll last the life of the table.
The metal extension slide was easy to install and works smoothly. They replaced wooden slides that cracked after 35 years of use. Directions could be improved to help clarify which slide goes on which side of the table. Slides are very sturdy should last a very long time.
These slides are exactly what I wanted. They were shipped quickly as I had requested. They were easy to install, and worked well even though they do not have ball bearings. We used these to allow us to use two newly made 18" leaves in an older table that was originally made for leaves, but the leaves and the slides for that table were long gone. I was concerned that a 36" extension would make the table weak or unstable, but not true. With the two 36" leaves in place using these slides, that table did not droop or feel unstable in any way. Nice product.
I have an old Ikea table for 6 to 10 persons made of pine (I think) with two extensions of 18½ inches. I was a bit worried to order 36" because I thought it might not open large enough but it does. Also, there were much less holes to put screws in so I was not sure if it would be strong enough. It's been over 2 months now and the table hasn't been this straight horizontally for quite a while! Now I only hope it is going to last as long as the original one (over 20 years), but I guess it will!
The slides worked perfectly. Once they were installed on our antique table of over one hundred years old they opened and closed easly and flawlessly. The table top sat very straight and flat. Table hadn't looked that good in years. Now we can all sit around it again for Thanksgiving dinner for many more years to come. Thanks for a great product at a great price!!
the product is perfect. it added 60 inches to my table. i made two 30 inch leafs. cant wait for family at thanksgiving so we can all sit together. i will give it 5 stars all day long.
Replaced old worn out wooden existing extensions on my very old dining table with the 36" wood Rockler extensions. It was time consuming, but relatively easy. The directions with the drawings were very clear and detailed. The key is to follow the "right" and "left". It is so nice to be able to use the full table again.
I was skeptical when I opened the package, because each side attached with only 5 screws, but it seems to be holding. The rails are very sturdy - I used it for a massive farmhouse table with a 3" thick top and it doesn't flex or bend at all. Recommend.
I finally got a new Kauri-veneered kitchen table finished (two-part Epoxy is very finicky!) The only problem I have with these slides is access to the screw holes for mounting them is more difficult than it should be
Pretty solid slides but not quite as solid as I hoped for an expected. I created a 6 foot table frame just to test their strength using 2x4s and at full extension(5+ feet opening) it was kind of weak. It held my full body weight but it had a couple inches of give to it. Even a little bit of pressure in the middle causes it to give an inch or two at full extension which isn't desirable for a table. To be fair it's not really designed for complete full extension; it merely opens that far to allow leaves to slide in and then you should collapse them back in at least a few inches. All that said, at a 4 foot opening, I found it to be very solid...very little give or flex. Let's face it, though, being that solid at 4 feet is still impressive. I am going to end up keeping them. Instead of a 6 foot to 11 foot table, I am adjusting my design to be 7 foot to 11 foot (4 foot expansion). I haven't built it yet but I have hopes that it will be a very solid table even when both 2 foot leaves are in.
I ordered the 64" table extender so I could add a third leaf to my table. The original 38" wooden extenders that came with the table I purchase failed after 9 years of usage. I can't wait to see the results
Sliding dining table "64" closed with two extension leaves of 15" wide/ea. I believe the 36"extension slides will work, as the info says they will provide a 38" opening. If I'm wrong please inform me. Old wood slides not working.
I had originally used wooden extension slides on my table and there was so much clearance in the fit of the slides, that the table sagged. I am trying the steel slides to try and eliminate the table sag.
Replacement for broken slide on dining table. We have been trying to figure out how to fix it and were glad to see these replacements at a reasonable price.
This is the second dinning room table I've built, these are super heavy duty, I used them on the first table and believe me, you need heavy duty slides, opening and closing a table puts lots of force on them, they stay straight and true.

You've saved the day! We will now have enough room for the family. The original table slides were not adequate for the weight of the leaves, so they broke. Thank you.

For a heavy table with two 12" leaves, which would be better, steel or wood? Wood would look better on this vintage table, but performance trumps appearance!
BEST ANSWER:I also have a vintage, homemade heavy table with two of the same sized leaves. Quite frankly, I wish I had gone with steel. We only put the leaves in twice a year, so hopefully will be OK. I may need to make a temp. 5th middle leg for when all the leaves are inserted. If you have the money, go for steel. As to appearance, you'll only see it when adding/removing leaves, and then only for a few seconds.

Definitely use the metal table slides. I have done it numerous times and found out that the metal is more superior than the wood slides even for a vintage table. You will never see the slides once the table leaves are in, only when you open and close it to add leaves. I've have used the slides that extend tables - 16 foot long on one pedestal base and they work well and I've purchased them from Rockler.
Well, I dropped my phone . . . what I started to say was that yes, you're right: you'll not see them unless you open up the table. I've not had great luck with the wood slides on old tables, since they invariably are either bound up and don't move freely or they're so loose that they don't feel very secure. I'm hoping the steel ones are better. Do they have ball bearings, like drawer slides, or just steel-on-steel?
I have a 4 ft oak top table with the 36 in wood extension slides on it and one 2 ft leaf. Looks great when opening table and supports the weight of the 2 ft oak leaf just fine. So i would say that wood is the way to go.
Can the Steel slide be used for a table with 4 legs that has NO apron (in other words, it's just the top with 4 legs attached)? will this be very visible from the side? Also, the top is quite heavy - is there weight limit recommended for this hardware? thank you -
BEST ANSWER:I don't believe there is any weight limit on these glides. You can actually move them in a little further from the outside edge of the table which will conceal the visibility problem. But each one should only be a third of with of the table from the edge. The key to these working properly is to make sure they are perfectly parallel to each other. Otherwise when you pull them open they will bind and it will be hard to operate.

If there is no apron, the slides may be visible. You could probably add your own apron under the table to cover the metal slides. The weight is not your only concern regarding these - it depends on the width of your leaves, too.
BEST ANSWER:I got the wood slides. While technically I guess they could be used outdoor, personally I wouldn't since the wood would expand and shrink in the different weathers. I'd get metal if it was me. However, I'm no expert.
We're still happy with our two slides that I put on the dining room table a couple of years ago.

Sure they can, but you know it rains and snows and the table must be covered to protect it. If you don't cover the table I have no idea what will happen it . Just a matter of using your head.
BEST ANSWER:You should have no problem. In my installation of the the 36" slides I installed them with 9 " of overlap on each end. This results in plenty of attachment stability when the table is opened to its maximum gap which turns out to be 38". You are looking to insert two 12" leaves for a total of 24". Even if you already have one 12" leaf there would be room for it too. Your biggest challenge will be to come up with matching pads. I manufactured mine but you can obtain them online. Good luck. The extra space at large family dinners is priceless.
Sorry, I understood that you are extending an existing table as I did. So I already had pads for the existing table and only had to manufacture one pad for the extension. Manufacturing pads is a real hassle which I do not recommend. You apparently have the luxury of purchasing all the pads you need . Good luck on your project. Was my input useful?

I used the slides to add a third 12 inch leaf to my table with 2 existing 12 inch leaves. Just be sure you have enough room under the table to handle the length of the closed slides
These slides should allow for leaves up to a total of 36" wide so you will have plenty of room as long as these slides fit with your table when they are closed
BEST ANSWER:The slides, when fully extended, measure 64". The 36" measurement is the closed length. I used them for a table with 3 12.5" leaves. I am very satisfied with them. I used them to replace dovetailed maple slides which were not friendly to the humid Florida climate. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and indicate how much width they will accommodate.

64" is the space you will have between the two sides of the table, when the table is pulled open completely - Your leaves cannot measure more than that. For example, if you have 3, 20" wide leaves, this slide will work for you .
Sounds like a misprint in the catalog. The extension slides I bought measure 36" when fully closed. When fully extended they create a space of 38", so I can insert my old 18" leaf plus a new 18" leaf which I made.
BEST ANSWER:I'm no expert. That being said, I did put them on our table, to replace two that had broken. Our two leaves are 12" each, there is enough room for 14". HOWEVER, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy these slides that are made from wood. I would buy the ones made from metal. We only use our table twice a year in the fully extended position, so it really doesn't make a big difference, but already I can see the table bowing down. Just a thought.

The tabke I have these slides on has an 1.5 inch oak top to it and I have 1, 24 inch leaf and 1, 12 inch leaf and it holds them both just fine. You just need to make sure to secure the slides completely to table so that they don't sag with weight of leafs.
I purchased the 36" wood slides with 62" max. opening. 36" is the collapsed length which then extends to 38" or 62", depending on the model ordered, which should be more than adequate for your situation.
I just order the steel extensions. I'm making a table from scratch. When I look at the installation instructions it appears that the table legs will move apart when I'm opening up the extenders (vs a stationary base). Is this correct?
BEST ANSWER:correct. I used these on a 42" square antique table with its 4 legs and one center leg. This table now seats 12 people instead of just four, when opened. It has four legs, and one center leg. When you open it, the center leg can remain in place, and support the middle, as this extends pretty far. Worth the money.

I have a 4-legged dining table that right now opens to accommodate one table leaf. But one leaf is no longer enough. Now with grandchildren I need to increase the size of the table. Can I change out the table slides with longer ones in order for the table to expand to accommodate 2 tables leaves instead of just one? Will the table sag in the center? Thank you for shedding some light on the matter.
BEST ANSWER:Yes, that is what I used these for. The slides are strong enough and won't sag. If you're inexperienced do your research and plan carefully, or hire a cabinet maker to do the work.

Elizabeth You can put different slides on to accommodate more leaves as far as table sag goes allot of factors will come into play. Top thickness, apron width etc good luck
BEST ANSWER:As long as you don't overload the new working surface, I don't see why not. HOWEVER, that being said, most people push down / cut / etc down on working surfaces quite hard, and this 3 piece wooden slide would break in my opinion. You might want to go for the more expensive metal ones. Remember though, neither the wooden or the metal ones, were made to withstand much weight / pressure.
It might. However, consider this. At what point do you go "overboard", creating this retractable working surface, instead of buying a simple table. We wanted another, occasional working surface in out kitchen, we opted for a 3' x 3' simple folding table. Top is 100% rosin / plastic, so real easy to clean. Fold up the 4 legs, real easy to store. Holds a LOT of weight, so not concerned about using it to cook, can, etc.

I believe you could, but unlike a table where both sides of the extension are attached to the same side. You would have to attach one side if the extension to the slide out working surface, attach the other side of the extension to a cabinet support below it. You may have to drill some hole so you can attach your extension on opposite sides.
And these mounting screws would have to be absolutely flush to avoid the mechanism. I'm begin to think this is a novel idea but that novelty does not provide enough convenience. Thanks for the feedback!
BEST ANSWER:The item is meant to extend a table's opening, and only for tables with 4 legs. It's meant to screw into the underside of the table, on both ends of the slide. If you use it to hold up the drop leaf portion, you'd probably want to attach it somehow. It's also meant to have 4 legs, so legs on both ends of the slide, something your drop leaf wouldn't have. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look like it would work for a drop leaf table.

BEST ANSWER:I used these (wooden) slides in a similar table and setup, and they worked perfectly. Great quality. Would definitely use again. Well worth the expense/time/trouble to buy these, rather than make them.

They would do the job and still give you room to put in and take out leaves with ease. Just make sure you have the space for the slides under table and properly place them for easy opening and closing.
Our leafs are 18 inches and the new metal slices work well. We don't have to fight to extend the table. The wooden ones will make good fire wood. Get the metal slides.
I have a heavy cherry wood DR table with double pedestals. It currently has 2 leaves in it and fully extended it is 102”. I want to add a 3rd leaf and extend the table to 120” for holiday celebrations, big family!! Any suggestions on which extension size to buy and which type..wood or steel? Is there a video on how to install this? Thanks
BEST ANSWER:Steel is my preference. You don’t have to worry about changes in humidity. And with that size table, go as big as you can. I was happy and so is the family I made a table for with the 36” steel slides. I don’t know of any video, but they aren’t hard to install. I took a long STRAIGHT, square piece of plywood and used it as a guide to make sure the slides were parallel to the side.

Sounds like each leaf is 18 in. Three leaves needs an expansion of 54 in. plus an inch or two for the pins. I would recommend the steel because of the length required.
I have a 68" Thomasville 1975 Mediterranean Trestle Table that needs new slides. There are 2/ 20" leaves which makes the table 108" fully extended. What size slides do we need to purchase?
BEST ANSWER:Purchase a slide that has an opening greater than 24". Steel will last longer than wood, but wood slides are less expensive. Be sure that you install the slides exactly perpendicular to the edge of the top.

I am making a 40” by 70” oak table (longest 70”) and wish only 16” leaf to reduce to 54”. I like to over build” so would the strongest one that would fit be the steel 38” one 29694? Thanks so much! Jim T
Where are the figures or diagrams referenced in the technical data and sheets that accompany the metal slides? They reference figures 5, 8, 9 etc, but only one diagram is included (and poor quality at that). I'm pretty sure I know which side is mounted adjacent to the table, but I want to be sure. The only figure included doesn't show enough detail.
BEST ANSWER:I had problems with these slides and had to return them. They jambed. I am pretty sure that the side with the raised edge is the side that mates with the underside of the table.

BEST ANSWER:Obvioiusly you can't stain the metal ones. It you want to stain the wooden ones, I don't see a problem, as long as you keep the stain out of the places the pieces slide against each other. This would be the same for any lacquer. Get either one in the groves, and you're going to have real problems operating your table. Personally, I wouldn't stain of lacquer them at all, who looks at the bottom of tables? Brad

BEST ANSWER:One thing that I learned was that the length of the slides should be approximately 3/4 of the length of the table when closed without the leaves. This is to provide adequate support for the table when the leaves are installed. the description of item 29496 states that it will open 38 inches thus allowing two18 in leaves to be inserted. However, I would install the longest slides that you can put in the table thus providing the most support. I am sure that you can picture that the farther the slides are open the less the male sliding dovetails are in their corresponding sockets thus less support when the leaves are installed. If your table has a center support leg that is in place with or without the leaves then that obviously changes things. I hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER:I am sorry that I cannot help you, because the table that I used the slides on is 60-plus miles away in the dining room of a different home. .But, if I remember correctly, the slides were slightly over 72" when they were fully extended. The opening will be about 38" for the leaves and the ends will extend about 18" for attaching to the table ends. I hope this helps!
