These rectangular nylon spacers from Bainbridge Manufacturing add a precise 1/2 inch of offset between a drawer slide and the cabinet side, correcting the setback common in face-frame construction so slides mount flush and drawers run true. The White finish blends cleanly with white cabinet interiors and white-coated slide systems.
Face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the front opening by the width of the face frame — typically 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch depending on the frame stock. A side-mount slide screwed directly to the recessed cabinet side will sit too far back, causing the drawer to bind against the frame or travel short of full extension. Slipping a 1/2 inch spacer between the cabinet side and the slide moves the mounting surface forward, bringing the slide into the correct lateral position. These spacers are also useful when shimming a slide away from an out-of-plumb cabinet wall or correcting a slight gap in a retrofit installation.
Nylon polyamide is the standard material for this type of hardware spacer because it resists compression, holds its shape under repeated loading, and does not absorb moisture the way wood shims do. The White color is integral to the material, so it will not chip or flake off the bearing surface the way a painted metal bracket might. Inside a white melamine or white-painted cabinet, these spacers are nearly invisible once the drawer is installed.
Cabinet shops running face-frame production lines keep a supply of 1/2 inch spacers on hand for their standard slide installations, where the offset requirement is consistent from box to box. Installers use them when fitting replacement slides into older face-frame cabinets where the original offset shims have gone missing or were cut from scrap wood. The White finish makes them the right call specifically when the cabinet interior, slide, or both are white — the Almond and Black versions of this spacer serve the same function in differently finished cabinets.
Technically possible, but a single 1-inch spacer gives a more stable, single-piece bearing surface. If your face-frame setback calls for a full inch, use the 1-inch version of this spacer rather than stacking two 1/2 inch pieces.
The nylon is molded white, so it reads as a clean white inside the cabinet. It is not color-matched to any specific slide manufacturer's epoxy shade, but in practice the spacer sits behind the slide and is not visible when the drawer is in place.
No. Undermount slides mount beneath the drawer box on the cabinet floor and do not use side spacers. These spacers are for side-mount slide installations only.
Standard wood screws sized for your cabinet material work fine. Drive through the spacer's mounting holes into the cabinet side before attaching the slide to the spacer face.
Getting the slide's lateral position correct is the difference between a drawer that glides effortlessly and one that binds or drops short — these White 1/2 inch nylon spacers provide that correction cleanly, consistently, and without improvised shims.
