    U.S. Made drawer slides?

    I am looking at another kitchen project here in the next few weeks, and am scoping out drawer slides. I would like to keep them made in the USA if possible, but I can't tell which are made here, and which imported. The KV and Accuride sites don't say where their slides are made. Anyone have/know a list of what slides are made in the USA? I would like to do side mounts, mostly for ease of installation and keeping as much drawer height as possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

    The last time I checked, Accuride slides were made in Mexico and KV was still manufacturing in the USA. I would call the companies and verify this. It could be that not all the slides from each company are made in the same places.

    KV has two grades of slides, one imported and one still made in Grand Rapids Michigan. I use the Made in USA slides for about $2 a set more last time I bought some.
