I had to replace old drawer slides that were installed in 1971, as the bearings blew out of the old wheels. There was no way I could use the new style slides, as that would have required a major rework of the whole cabinet. I noticed the K-V stamp on the original slide and rail, measured the old one and decided to purchase this item, as it looked very similar to the old one. It arrived and I had the large drawer reinstalled in a matter of minutes. The metal seems a smaller gauge than the original, but it works great, very smooth under a heavy load of cookware. I just added a few more screws on each rail and slide. I too was so lucky!
