Zinc Soft-Close Ball Bearing Slide for Everyday Kitchen and Cabinet Drawers

The Pro Value PRO 100 is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with an integrated soft-close damper, rated 100 lb per pair. It delivers quiet, controlled closing in a zinc-finished steel body built for standard-duty kitchen, bath, and utility cabinet work.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damper catches the drawer in the final inch of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the contents at the back are fully reachable.
• 100 lb rating per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen or utility drawer.
• Zinc finish over steel provides reliable indoor corrosion resistance and blends cleanly with the cabinet interior.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no sorting at the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing spacing, simplifying box sizing.

Where These Slides Fit the Work

An 18 inch soft-close slide is the right choice when the drawer is shallow enough that a longer slide would eat into the back of the cabinet — think bathroom vanity drawers, smaller base cabinet drawers in a kitchen run, and utility drawers in a laundry or mudroom cabinet. The soft-close feature earns its keep in high-use spots: a vanity or kitchen drawer that gets pulled a dozen times a day benefits from damped closing in a way that a seldom-opened shop drawer simply does not. Full extension means the whole drawer clears the opening, so nothing gets lost at the back. The 100 lb per pair rating covers everyday residential loads comfortably.

Build and Finish Details

Cold-formed steel members carry the zinc plating that is the standard corrosion-resistant finish for indoor side-mount slides. Zinc is a working finish — it protects the steel through years of daily cycling and stays largely out of sight inside the cabinet. The soft-close module is integrated into the slide body rather than added as a clip-on, so the damper stays in register with the slide travel. Slides are sold as a pair with mounting hardware included.

Specifying the PRO 100 for a Cabinet Run

This slide is the practical soft-close upgrade for production cabinet shops and remodel contractors who want damped closing at a value price point. It installs on the standard 32mm hole pattern for direct frameless cabinet mounting. In face-frame cabinets, the back end of the slide needs support — add the matching series rear mounting brackets, sold separately. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch clearance on each side. Non-handed means one SKU covers every opening on the job, left and right alike.
