The Pro Value PRO 3.0 is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, rated 100 lb per pair, finished in zinc. It is designed for kitchen, utility, and shop drawers where smooth travel and honest load capacity matter more than concealed hardware.
A 16 inch slide suits drawers in shallower cabinets: base cabinets with reduced depth, wall-hung shop cabinets, bathroom vanities, and built-ins where a full 18 or 22 inch slide would run long. Full extension at this length means the rear of the drawer clears the opening completely — useful anywhere the contents need to be seen and reached, not just the front half of the box. Standard motion keeps the installation simple on drawers that do not need a closing mechanism, including drawers paired with push-to-open hardware where a spring or damper would work against the mechanism.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides — it resists indoor corrosion and holds up through daily cycling without adding cost or complexity. The finish is functional, not decorative: the slide sits alongside the drawer box and is visible when the drawer is open, but it is not meant to be a design element. For cabinetry where the slide will show against a light interior, the zinc tone is neutral and unobtrusive.
Cabinet shops running production on shallower drawer banks reach for this slide when the 16 inch length matches their box depth and they want a reliable 100 lb full-extension pair at a consistent price. Contractors specifying bathroom vanities or home-office built-ins find the non-handed design reduces the chance of a mispick on a multi-drawer job. Designers and homeowners sourcing for a renovation get a full-extension slide at the standard duty class without paying for motion features the application does not need. Sold as a pair — one complete set of slides for one drawer.
No. The slide length is 16 inches measured closed. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travels approximately its full length, bringing the entire box out to the cabinet face — but slide length and drawer travel are two separate numbers. Match the slide length to your cabinet's interior depth, not the distance you want the drawer to open.
Side-mount ball bearing slides in the PRO series require 1/2 inch of clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap for both slides.
Ball bearings on a level cabinet run with very little resistance, so a fully loaded drawer on a slightly unlevel cabinet can migrate. If your application needs the drawer to stay put when closed, consider a slide with a hold-in anti-rebound detent. Standard motion is the right choice when you are pairing the slide with push-to-open hardware or when a detent would interfere with the installation.
No. The PRO 3.0 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical, and either one installs on the left or right side of the drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need support at the rear because the cabinet side is set back from the front frame. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series, sold separately, to complete a face-frame installation.
When the drawer depth calls for a 16 inch slide and the application is straightforward indoor cabinetry, the PRO 3.0 delivers full extension and a 100 lb rating in a zinc-finished steel pair — nothing extra, nothing missing.
