Bainbridge Spacers, Black, 3607BK-22

Black Drawer Slide Spacer for Precise Side-Mount Alignment

This 7/8 inch black nylon spacer from Bainbridge Manufacturing fills the gap between a drawer slide and the cabinet side, bringing the slide out to the correct mounting plane so the drawer rides true from the first install.

Key Features

• 7/8 inch thickness — fills the specific standoff distance needed when a slide mounts proud of the cabinet interior surface.
• Black nylon (polyamide) construction — dimensionally stable material that holds its thickness under screw load without creeping or cracking.
• Screw-on mounting — fastens in place before the slide goes on, so the slide stays positioned while you drive the mounting screws.
• Box of 50 — enough quantity for a multi-drawer run without reordering mid-project.
• Black finish — matches dark cabinet interiors and black-finished slide hardware so the spacer stays visually quiet inside the cabinet.

Where This Spacer Solves a Real Problem

Side-mount drawer slides assume a flat, flush mounting surface. In face-frame cabinets, the side panel sits behind the frame, and in any cabinet where blocking, a pilaster strip, or a secondary panel adds depth to the side wall, the slide ends up recessed from the intended mounting plane. A 7/8 inch standoff is a common requirement in face-frame installs and in cases where slides are mounted to a surface that steps in from the cabinet opening. Shimming with scraps introduces uneven bearing; this spacer provides a machined, consistent standoff that keeps the slide parallel to the drawer travel path. It also suits retrofit work where an existing cabinet was built with a specific side-wall offset and the replacement slide needs to match the original mounting depth.

Material and Finish

Nylon polyamide resists the compression and fatigue that softer plastics develop over years of screw tension. The black color is molded through the material rather than applied as a coating, so the finish does not chip or flake as screws seat. Inside a dark cabinet box or alongside black-finish slides, the spacer stays inconspicuous rather than drawing the eye.

Who Reaches for This Box

Cabinet shops running face-frame production lines keep spacers in the right thicknesses on the shelf so installers can grab the correct standoff without improvising. Contractors retrofitting slides into existing face-frame cabinets use them to match the mounting offset left by the original hardware. Designers specifying black-finish hardware packages appreciate having a spacer in a matching color so even the small parts stay consistent inside the cabinet. The 50-count box covers a single kitchen or bath run and keeps the truck stocked without excess.

Get the Slide Position Right the First Time

One misaligned slide means a drawer that binds, rubs, or sits crooked — and a callback. Keeping the correct spacer thickness on hand turns a potential alignment problem into a two-minute fix before the slide goes on.
