I just finished a custom machine design & build for a customer and thought I would post a review of these drawer slides and 1/4 turn latches for those folks that may find them useful.
The drawer slides are from McMaster Carr. P/N 6603A46
500 lb capacity per pair

The 1/4 turn latch is McMaster P/N 1820A21

The slides worked out very well for translating the rotating equipment guard/cover. The slides appear to be heavy duty and good quality. The only thing I did not like was that when extended out the greasy slides were exposed to dust, dirt, etc...Other than that I like them and would buy them again.
The 1/4 turn latch was of good quality, worked well, and looks very nice installed. I know they also have them in black if the shiny bling look is not your thing. The latches come with 2 different plates (one straight and one offset).
Obviously pricing is more expensive with McMaster Carr so if you were going to buy many of these I would contact the manufacturer (Accuride) of the slides to see who else is a distributor or the possibility of buying direct.
Here are the pics:
