14 Inch Ball Bearing Drawer Slide For Dark-Finish Cabinetry

The Pro Value PRO 100 is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, rated 100 lb per pair, finished in Black to match dark cabinet interiors and hardware schemes. Standard motion means no self-close or soft-close mechanism, so the drawer stays exactly where you leave it.

Key Features

• Black finish blends with dark cabinet interiors, Black hardware pulls, and painted or ebonized drawer boxes so the slide stays out of the visual picture when the drawer is open.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, putting everything at the back within easy reach.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair handles a fully loaded utility, kitchen, or workshop drawer.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left-right sorting on the bench.
• Standard motion — no closing mechanism — keeps the drawer exactly where it is left, with no spring or damper to work against a push-to-open retrofit.
• Steel ball bearing construction delivers smooth, consistent travel in full-length raceways across years of daily use.

Where the Black Finish Earns Its Place

Most side-mount ball bearing slides ship in zinc, which disappears against a white or light wood interior. In dark cabinetry — matte black, navy, charcoal, or ebonized finishes — a zinc slide reads as a silver stripe beside every open drawer. The Black finish on this slide matches the interior instead of contrasting with it. It is also the right call when Black hardware pulls are already specced throughout the job: a consistent finish across hinges, pulls, and slides reads as intentional, not overlooked. The 14 inch length suits shallow drawer stacks in base cabinets, bath vanities, and furniture pieces where the cabinet interior is under 15 inches deep.

Build and Material

Cold-formed steel members run on steel ball bearings in full-length raceways. The Black finish is a protective coating over the steel for indoor corrosion resistance. This is not a stainless or exterior-rated finish — keep it on dry, indoor installations. The slide is 14 inches in closed length, mounts one per side of the drawer box, and requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

Who Reaches for This Slide

Cabinet shops running a dark-finish line benefit most: ordering the Black version from the start is cleaner than painting zinc slides on the bench. Designers specifying handle-less or matte black kitchens will want consistent hardware finishes throughout, and this slide fills the side-mount role without a finish mismatch. Contractors replacing worn slides in existing dark cabinetry can match what is already there. The 100 lb per pair rating and full-extension travel cover standard residential and light commercial drawer loads at this length, and the standard-motion design is compatible with a mechanical push-to-open add-on for handle-less fronts.

The Right Finish for the Right Interior

When the rest of the hardware is Black, the slides should be too. The Pro Value PRO 100 in Black keeps the 14 inch drawer running smoothly and keeps the finish story consistent from front to back.
