How to Install and Use AOLISHENG 150lb Truck Toolbox Locking Heavy Duty Drawer Slides (D5115)

When it comes to storing tools, equipment, or heavy items in your truck toolbox, ordinary drawer slides often fall short.

The AOLISHENG 150lb Truck Toolbox Locking Heavy Duty Drawer Slides (D5115) are designed specifically to meet these needs. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the benefits, preparation, installation steps, and common mistakes to avoid.

Why Choose 150lb Locking Drawer Slides for Toolboxes

Preparation Before Installation

Before installing the D5115 slides, proper preparation ensures safety and long-term performance:

Check Toolbox Structure – Ensure side panels are strong enough to handle 150lb load per drawer.
