There is no "mechanism" per say. The box you build for the room is built. There are 2 brackets on each side of the room. This is for cables to hook up to that would pull the slide out to the "out" position. There is a frame that is mounted to the opening of your wall that has allocations for cables to connect to as well. again, 2 on each side. These are used for when the slide out is pulled in. the bottom part of the frame that is mounted has rollers on it. The floor of your room slide out rolls on this. There is an electric motor that is mounted over head (or it can be mounted below the slide if you wish) You adjust the tension of the cables so the slide out goes in and out the same amount and that's it. I was blown away at how sturdy the setup is. I had 2 guys inside mine and we were jumping in it extended out and couldn't get it to move. Hopefully the pictures help clarify.
