Question about New Slides for Matco Box

[RichRiddle]

An 14-Drawer Matco MB7525 box (with two side mounted Mac boxes) that sits in the garage needs a couple of slides. The Matco sees very little grease or dust in its atmosphere which is a garage on a farm. A machinist who has many Matco and Snap On boxes suggested cleaning the drawer slides, and I recently cleaned the ball bearing slides. After the cleaning, 13 of the drawers work much better and slide smoother. Unfortunately, one slide became impossible to use and fell apart when trying to clean it.

The slide's stamp reads Accurite 3620326. Does anyone know how to procure a set of the slides or have an acceptable replacement number for slides?

I do appreciate all the threads in here that indicated how to clean ball bearing slides. The advice made cleaning the slides and removing all the old grease and lubricants much easier. Before cleaning, the slides almost felt tacky, so I am unsure what lubricant was previously used.

The Matco box is wonderful and one of the best purchases I made. Thanks for all your help.

You should be able to Google the Accuride number, they are a big mfg of drawer slides.

Probably used in many boxes.

Not sure but your slides were mentioned in this thread a couple years ago.

Toolbox drawers wont stay closed - detents

Just wanted to post some hard to find information that I found. My 20 year old Matco triple bay tool box developed a problem where the drawers would no longer stay closed on their own. The "friction" when closing was gone. Took out bottom drawer and found all the grey rubberish detents were all...

The new slides arrived and were installed. they close very easily but require a fair amount of effort to open. Does anyone know the purpose of the black knobs on the new slides near the front of the drawer?

Those turn and adjust the amount of effort used to open and close the drawer.

Thank you for the information. Now I will need to read up on how to make adjustments. There are some numbers written on the knob, but the black on black makes it nearly impossible to read.
