Broken drawer slide auto-closer

[wingnut60]

Might open up this older thread on the drawer slides--after using replacements from both Lowes and HD, neither brand worked well. Someone on here mentioned Rockler and I got one of each of the drawer lengths (20" and 14") and there is much more quality built in to them. So far, both are working well after wasting $60+ on big box replacements.
We are full-timing and have the drawers well-loaded, part of the problem. The Rocklers have stated load limits and at 75# and higher-- don't think even my wife can put that much in.

Ron,
Brand name is Center Line Lifetime; Model is Comfort Close Over-Travel. 75#rating.
Off the receipt:
757 CC-22 14" Slide 045873 $18.99
757 CC-22 20" Slide 044624 21.99
Brackets f/757 series 047585 5.99

The brackets from the old slides would fit, but thought it best to use the ones made for the slides.

I believe the self-closing mechanism is a different design and seems to be more solid.
I have not had to reset the mechanism on the Rocklers since installed. I believe I remember you are an experienced carpenter, so you know about level and square.
The rear supports for the slides is also suspect--have had to brace a couple of them to prevent sideways movement.

Yes I understand some of the HIDDEN things could be better on these DRV's!!!
