have used these for other full extension side mount applications.
These types of slides need a little 'pull' to open. I haven't looked for a
manufacturer or model, but I put these in our kitchen 8 years ago to
replace worn slides.

I can answer that. No. I put Blum soft close drawer glides on my under sofa drawers thinking they would hold the drawers closed, but the first time I drove it, they came open on the first left turn. I had to install latches to keep them closed. Like Peer said (above) it might depend on how much weight you have in the drawers, but most likely the weight of the drawer it's self will cause them to open on a turn.
