This is a 3/8 inch black nylon screw-on spacer from Bainbridge Manufacturing, sold 50 per box, designed to set the correct side clearance when mounting drawer slides in face-frame cabinets or wherever a consistent offset between the slide and cabinet wall is needed.
Face-frame cabinets present a common installation challenge: the cabinet side sits behind the face frame, so a slide mounted flush to the side panel ends up positioned too far inward for the drawer box to track cleanly. A 3/8 inch spacer closes that gap precisely. The same scenario comes up when a slide needs to clear an obstacle on the cabinet interior, when two adjacent slides need consistent spacing for a uniform feel across a bank of drawers, or when a retrofit installation reveals that the existing side panel is not flush with where the original hardware sat. Dropping a spacer behind each slide bracket brings the mounting surface forward by exactly 3/8 inch without shimming, scribing, or guesswork.
Nylon polyamide holds tight tolerances better than wood shims and does not swell, compress, or split under a driven screw. The black colorway is intentional rather than incidental: on dark or black-interior cabinets, exposed hardware at the back of the drawer opening stays inconspicuous. The screw-on design means the spacer is captive once fastened, so it cannot shift during drawer installation or over time as vibration works a friction-fit piece loose.
Cabinet shops running face-frame production lines keep a box on the shelf as standard stock alongside their slide inventory, because the offset requirement comes up on nearly every face-frame job. Installers doing kitchen or bath retrofits reach for them when an existing opening does not line up with modern slide geometry. Custom furniture builders use them when a design calls for a slide inset from the visible panel edge. The 50-piece count suits a mid-size cabinet run or a multi-room remodel without leaving a large overstock.
Purely cosmetic. The nylon material handles the structural work; the black color simply makes the spacer less visible in dark cabinet interiors once the drawer is installed.
These spacers suit side-mount installations where the slide attaches to the cabinet sidewall. Undermount slides mount beneath the drawer box on the cabinet bottom and have different clearance requirements; check whether your undermount system calls for a rear mounting bracket rather than a wall spacer.
The spacer is a generic offset component. It works with any side-mount slide whose mounting screw pattern and required clearance match the 3/8 inch offset this spacer provides. It is not a branded Bainbridge system part with engineered fit requirements.
Other thicknesses are available in this line. If 3/8 inch is not the offset your installation calls for, check the related spacer sizes to find the thickness that matches your slide's required side clearance.
A box of 50 black nylon spacers is a small line item that prevents a common, time-consuming problem: slides that are mounted in the right cabinet but positioned wrong, leading to a drawer that binds, racks, or refuses to close flush.
