Drawer slide

A drawer slide for a drawer-type storage unit allowing a drawer to be horizontally moved from the storage unit to allow access into the interior of the drawer. The drawer slide is vertically symmetrical about a central longitudinal plane perpendicular to the side surfaces of the drawer slide. A cantilevered tongue, loop-like bracket, and latch are vertically symmetrically positioned on a support rail of the drawer slide. The tongue is receivable in a slot in a vertical mounting rail in the storage unit. The bracket is received in an opening of a vertical mounting rail. The latch engages a further slot in a vertical mounting rail to prevent accidental disengagement of the slide rail from the mounting rails. The vertical symmetry of the drawer slide allows the drawer slides to be used on either side of the storage unit with only a front and back orientation.
