PRO Value PRO5000 10-Pair Box 20" Hold-In Side Mount Over-Travel 150 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 5000-20-ZPOT

Zinc-Finished 150 lb Over-Travel Slide Built for File and Heavy Storage Drawers

The Pro Value PRO 5000 is a 20 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 150 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that carries the drawer past the cabinet face — the right choice when a loaded file or storage drawer sits beneath a countertop overhang or behind a deep face frame.

Key Features

• 150 lb per-pair load rating — puts this firmly above the standard 100 lb cabinet class, covering drawers that actually get loaded.
• 1 inch over-travel — the drawer member extends 1 inch past full extension, clearing overhanging surfaces so rear contents are fully reachable.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent — a mechanical catch keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways — smooth, consistent travel under heavy loads across the full 20 inch length.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical; no left/right sorting at the bench.
• Bright zinc finish — standard indoor corrosion protection on cold-rolled steel members.

Where Over-Travel at 150 lb Makes the Difference

A standard 100 lb cabinet slide stops at the cabinet face. When a drawer sits under a countertop overhang or inside a deep face frame, that last inch of travel is the difference between seeing the back of the drawer and reaching in blind. The PRO 5000's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the box past that obstacle. Pair that with a 150 lb rating and it handles a lateral file drawer loaded with folders, a shop drawer full of hand tools, or a deep storage pull-out without reservation. The hold-in detent earns its keep in the same applications: once the drawer is shut, the detent stops it from drifting or rebounding open when the cabinet takes a knock or the floor isn't perfectly level.

Steel Construction and Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-rolled steel with a bright zinc electroplate — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in commercial and shop environments. Zinc protects against indoor humidity and the normal wear of a production or office environment. This is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet, washdown, or exterior use. The steel construction and full-length ball-bearing raceways give the slide the structural backbone the 150 lb rating requires; the same build handles repeated heavy cycles without the racking or rattle that lighter slides develop under sustained load.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops building file cabinets, lateral files, or heavy storage runs will find the PRO 5000 bridges the gap between the standard 100 lb kitchen slide and the specialty heavy-duty class — at value pricing and with local inventory behind it. Office furniture builders specifying drawers that will carry loaded hanging files benefit from the over-travel specifically: the drawer front clears the countertop and the full drawer is accessible without contortion. Contractors fitting shop cabinets or utility storage appreciate the non-handed design, which cuts sorting time when installing multiple drawers in a run. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing format, so existing drawer boxes built to that spec drop right in.

The Right Slide When Load and Reach Both Matter

When a file drawer or heavy storage pull-out needs to clear an overhang and carry a real load, the PRO 5000's combination of 150 lb capacity, 1 inch over-travel, and hold-in detent gives you the specs to spec it right the first time.
