Pro Value Series 22" Over Travel Hold-In Ball Bearing Drawer Slides PRO 5000 Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 5000-22-ZPOT

Pro Value Series 22 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Pro Value Series 22 inch over travel drawer slides are side mount, ball bearing slides designed for box and lateral drawer applications where smooth travel and access are needed. The 22 inch length supports typical file and utility drawer depths while keeping a consistent footprint across casework runs. The heavy duty extension with progressive movement keeps the motion controlled along the full stroke, which helps drawers track straight under load in everyday use. A 150 lb rating supports demanding file storage, so drawers can handle dense contents in office or shop furniture. The slides use a ball bearing design that delivers very quiet and smooth function, which is useful anywhere noise and vibration management matter. Bright zinc chromate finish protects the slide surfaces, supporting long-term performance in typical indoor environments.

Key Drawer Slide Details For Real-World Jobs

• The side mount, ball bearing construction positions the slide on the cabinet side, giving a predictable interface for standard casework layouts and simplifying alignment from unit to unit.
• A 1/2 inch side clearance specification defines the space between drawer side and cabinet, guiding drawer box sizing so drawers fit the opening without binding.
• The 3.79 inch slide height sets the minimum sidewall available above the slide, which helps when planning drawer side heights and clearances for folder edges or stored materials.
• Heavy duty extension with progressive movement keeps the load supported smoothly through the travel, which reduces racking and helps drawers feel consistent even when fully extended.
• Very quiet and smooth function supports use in office, residential, or shop environments where reduced operating noise improves the overall installation experience for end users.
• The 32 mm pattern option aligns with 32 mm system boring, allowing the slides to integrate into system-built cabinets where predrilled hole rows drive the layout.

Side Mount Installation And Fastener Guidance

These Pro Value Series side mount drawer slides are designed to mount to the cabinet sides, defining a clear installation path for frameless or face-frame casework using side mounting. The specified 1/2 inch side clearance helps installers size drawer boxes correctly, limiting trial-and-error fitting. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 7/16 inch Phillips pan head screws (WW46000), which match the slide holes and slide thickness so the heads seat well without excessive projection. This pairing supports consistent pull-down of the slide to the cabinet and drawer members, which improves long-term tracking. The 3.79 inch height and 22 inch length give installers fixed reference dimensions when laying out hole positions or working with drilling jigs.

Using These Slides In File And Lateral Drawers

Where These 22 Inch Slides Perform Best

The 150 lb over-travel file slide design suits file and storage drawers that must carry substantial paper or material weight. Over travel extension lets the drawer move past the cabinet front, improving access to the rear of a 22 inch deep box drawer so files or supplies are easier to reach. The product can be used in lateral applications up to 30 inches in width, which supports wider file drawers commonly used in office furniture or storage cabinetry. Handed slide members with unhanded rails simplify inventory because the same rail works with left or right slides, reducing part differentiation during layout. The bright zinc chromate finish on the side mount slides provides a clean, neutral appearance that fits typical commercial, residential, and shop casework.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The 32 mm pattern option ties the Pro Value Series 22 inch ball bearing slides directly into system-based cabinet construction, so hole spacing can follow existing 32 mm rows and help keep slide positions consistent. Drawer rails disconnect from the slide with a quick release clip, allowing drawers to be separated from the cabinet slide members during installation or service without tools at that interface. This quick release clip streamlines fitting, as drawers can be removed to access mounting points and then reinstalled on the same slide members. The combination of progressive movement and very quiet, smooth function supports a controlled feel through the full extension, which is important for wider lateral drawers up to 30 inches where side loads can be higher. Together, these details help builders and installers repeat the same alignment and operating feel across multiple drawer units.
