Rockwood slides - click click click normal?

Question

Hey All,Noticed our new Rockwood slides,when they're at the end of their travel (in or out) they make a clicking noise. It sounds like stripping gears but I had read somewhere it's a built in clutch doing it's job? Anybody familiar with Rockwood slides and if it is a clutch, or should I be concerned it's gears stripping out?Thanks!

It’s the stop pushing the button alarm. ;)

Normal. Don't worry about it.

Yep, normal.
Some brands (Northwood) have cheaped-out and stop putting this end-of-travel device on and then it just binds and stresses parts. If the operatior Doesn't learn to quickly stop pressing the button, he'll end up with broken bits.

Mine does it.  I know it's ok but it still hurts to hear it...
