PRO Value PRO100 10-Pair Box 12" Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Black, 4800-12-BK

Black Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Visible Hardware Interiors

The Pro Value PRO 100 is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide finished in Black, rated 100 lb per pair. It is a standard-motion slide with no self-close or soft-close mechanism, sized for shorter drawers in cabinetry and shop furniture where the Black finish blends with dark interiors or complements black cabinet hardware.

Key Features

• Black finish on steel members — coordinates with black cabinet hardware and dark-interior cabinetry without the look of bare zinc.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair — handles a loaded kitchen utility drawer, shop supply drawer, or bathroom vanity pullout.
• Full extension — the entire drawer clears the cabinet face so rear contents are fully reachable.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left/right sorting on the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side — the standard fit for side-mount ball bearing slides; build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
• Standard motion — no closing mechanism, so the drawer stays exactly where it is left; compatible with push-to-open retrofits that require a free-sliding slide.

Where a 12 Inch Slide Fits the Job

A 12 inch slide is the right choice for shallow drawers: bathroom vanity drawers, spice pullouts, small shop parts drawers, and upper kitchen drawers where cabinet depth limits the box to around 10 to 12 inches. Full extension means the back of the box comes all the way out to the cabinet opening, which matters more in a short drawer than a deep one — every inch of storage is reachable. The standard-motion design leaves the drawer in whatever position it is pushed to, making this slide a clean choice for drawers that will receive a push-to-open mechanism or where a detent or spring would interfere with the install.

Finish and Construction

Steel members carry a Black powder finish rather than the segment's standard bright zinc. In a cabinet with black pulls, black hinges, or a dark interior, the Black slide disappears against the hardware instead of standing out as a silver component beside the open drawer. The steel construction and ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver the same smooth travel and indoor durability as the zinc version of this series — the finish is a color choice, not a structural difference. This is an indoor slide; the Black finish is not rated for wet or exterior environments.

Who Specifies This Slide

Cabinet shops building black or dark-hardware kitchens reach for this slide when the customer will see the slides beside open drawers. Designers specifying a full black hardware package can keep the look consistent through the drawer box. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a bathroom vanity or small cabinet with black hardware get a match without sourcing a specialty product. At 12 inches, this is a shorter slide — confirm the cabinet's interior depth before ordering, and choose a longer length if the box runs deeper than about 12 inches.

The Right Slide Keeps the Hardware Package Consistent

Matching the slide finish to the rest of the hardware is a small detail that reads clearly in a finished cabinet. The PRO 100 in Black delivers full extension and a 100 lb rating in the finish that keeps dark-hardware interiors looking intentional.
