PRO Value PRO100 10-Pair Box 18" Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Black, 4800-18-BK

Black Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Modern Cabinet Interiors

The Pro Value PRO 100 is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, sold as a pair in a Black finish for cabinet builds where a dark slide complements dark interiors or contrasts cleanly against light panels. Rated 100 lb per pair, it brings honest full-extension performance to kitchen, utility, and shop drawers without the premium-brand price.

Key Features

• Black finish suits dark-interior cabinets, open shelving, and shop builds where zinc-finish hardware would stand out.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, so nothing stays buried at the back.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen or utility drawer.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no sorting left from right on the bench.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel under load.
• Standard motion — no damper, no spring, no closing mechanism — the drawer stays exactly where you leave it.

Where the Black Finish Makes a Difference

Most side-mount ball bearing slides ship in bright zinc, and that finish disappears fine inside a painted white or natural wood cabinet. In a dark-stained interior, a black-framed cabinet, or an open shelving unit where the slides are partially visible, zinc reads as a mismatch. The Black finish on the PRO 100 keeps the hardware from drawing the eye in those builds. It also works in shop and garage cabinets where a consistent, dark-finished aesthetic matters more than the standard utilitarian look.

Steel Construction and Finish Details

The slide is cold-rolled steel with a black finish over the members. The 1/2 inch side clearance requirement is standard for this segment — build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to fit both slides. In face-frame cabinets, the back of the slide needs rear support: add the matching rear mounting brackets, sold separately, since the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. The 32mm hole pattern on the cabinet member aligns with line-bored frameless panels, and the front slotted hole on the PRO 100 allows direct face-frame mounting as well.

Who Should Order This Slide

Cabinet shops specifying a dark interior finish run, designers detailing open-frame cabinet pieces, and woodworkers building shop storage with a consistent hardware color are the natural buyers here. The 18 inch length fits standard kitchen base cabinet drawers and most shop drawer boxes built to that depth. Because the slide is non-handed and full extension, it works as a straight stock-and-install part — no variation to manage per side. The standard motion suits any application where push-to-open is being added separately or where no closing mechanism is wanted.

The Right Slide When Finish Matters as Much as Function

Full extension, 100 lb, non-handed, and Black — the PRO 100 in this finish handles the same drawer loads as the zinc version while keeping the hardware from conflicting with a dark or detail-conscious interior.
