Pro Value Series 26" Over Travel Hold-In Ball Bearing Drawer Slides PRO 5000 Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 5000-26-ZPOT

Pro Value Over Travel Slides For File Drawers

Pro Value Series 26 inch over travel drawer slides set up a 150 lb rated file or box drawer so it can open beyond the cabinet front, helping expose stored files or contents for faster access. These side mount, ball bearing slides use heavy duty extension with progressive movement to support stable motion through the full stroke. The bright zinc chromate finish on the steel components presents a standard shop-friendly surface that aligns with other zinc-plated hardware. A 26 inch slide length provides a match when the design calls for that cabinet depth along the drawer side. The slide height of 3.79 inches defines the vertical space needed along the drawer side, which matters when laying out drawer box dimensions and clearances. A 1/2 inch side clearance specification defines the gap required between the drawer side and cabinet, guiding casework sizing.

Key Slide Details That Support Daily Use

• The 150 lb over-travel file slide rating pairs strength with extended travel so a loaded drawer can move out past the cabinet face, helping expose hanging files without obstruction.
• Side mount, ball bearing construction with progressive movement provides very quiet and smooth function, which supports controlled motion in both box drawer and lateral drawer applications.
• The 26 inch length matches cabinet designs built around that depth, tying the slide travel to common file and storage drawer sizing in office or shop installations.
• A slide height of 3.79 inches defines the vertical envelope required at the drawer side, helping coordinate drawer box height with adjacent hardware and clearances.
• 1/2 inch side clearance guides the spacing between drawer and cabinet, helping align the case opening so the slide tracks run parallel and reduce binding.
• The bright zinc chromate finish matches typical zinc-plated cabinet hardware, supporting a consistent hardware appearance and familiar surface behavior during installation.

Installation Dimensions And Fastener Selection

This side mount drawer slide uses a 1/2 inch side clearance, so the cabinet opening and drawer width can be laid out around that gap for each side. The 26 inch overall length defines how far back the slide runs along the cabinet side, which matters when positioning back panels or stretchers. A 3.79 inch slide height identifies how much vertical space is occupied on the drawer side, tying into where to place drawer bottom grooves and file rails. The manufacturer identifies a 32 mm pattern, so installers can coordinate drilling with that system layout in cabinet construction. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 7/16 inch Phillips pan head (WW46000), which indicates a screw size and head style that seats properly in the slide holes.

Using These Slides In File And Lateral Drawers

Where These Side Mount Slides Perform Best

The Pro Value Series 5000-26-ZPOT drawer slide is described as a file slide, aligning it with file storage and similar heavy-duty drawer roles. Over travel extension lets the drawer move beyond full extension, giving added exposure at the front of the drawer in file applications. The product can be used in lateral applications up to 30 inches in width, which means a single file or storage drawer can be built wider while staying within the stated application range. Both box drawer and lateral drawer applications are supported, so the same slide model can be used across different cabinet layouts that share the 26 inch depth. The side mount design fits casework that relies on cabinet sidewalls as the primary mounting surface, which is common in file cabinets and storage banks.

Details That Help With Smooth, Repeatable Results

Progressive movement in this ball bearing slide provides very quiet and smooth function, which reduces abrupt shifts as the drawer moves from closed to fully extended positions. Heavy duty extension works together with the 150 lb rating to support heavier file loads, helping the slide maintain consistent performance through the stroke. The drawer rail disconnects from the slide with a quick release clip, which speeds drawer removal when adjusting fit, working on the cabinet, or servicing the slide. Handed slide members with unhanded rails organize installation by defining left and right slide pieces while using rails that are not handed, simplifying drawer side preparation. The ability to support lateral applications up to 30 inches in width helps keep motion controlled across a wider drawer front, which is important for alignment and wear. A 32 mm pattern note connects the slide to systems-based drilling, which supports precise, repeatable mounting hole placement along cabinet sides.
