This is a 1 inch rectangular nylon drawer slide spacer from Bainbridge Manufacturing, designed to shift a slide's mounting position flush against the cabinet side or face frame so the drawer tracks straight and opens cleanly.
Drawer slide spacers solve a specific installation problem: the distance between the slide's mounting face and the cabinet's structural surface does not match the slide's designed clearance. This comes up most often in face-frame cabinets where the cabinet side is set back from the face, in retrofit situations where new slides replace narrower originals, and in production runs where box tolerances need a reliable correction. Stacking the spacer behind the cabinet member moves the slide outward by 1 inch, restoring the correct side clearance for the drawer box without shimming, scribing, or adding filler strips.
Nylon polyamide holds its shape under the clamping pressure a mounted slide applies, which is why a rigid plastic spacer outperforms improvised shims cut from scrap in this role. The almond color coordinates with the interior finish of cabinets and slides specified in almond — a common palette in kitchens and bath vanities from the 1980s through the early 2000s and still found in renovation and replacement work today. Using a color-matched spacer keeps the hardware visually tidy inside the box without painting or covering.
The 1 inch thickness is the determining spec: measure the gap between your slide's mounting surface and the cabinet side before ordering. If that gap is less than 1 inch, a thinner spacer from the same Bainbridge program will close it cleanly. If you are working in a white or black cabinet interior, companion finishes are available in the family. This spacer is sold individually and suits shops doing targeted repairs or small-batch installs; for production runs, larger pack quantities in this family may be more practical.
Yes — the spacer functions as a passive mounting offset and is not brand-specific. It works with any screw-on side-mount slide where a 1 inch standoff is needed, regardless of the slide manufacturer.
Adding a 1 inch spacer means the mounting screw must travel an extra inch before entering the cabinet material. Use screws long enough to achieve adequate penetration into the substrate — typically at least 3/4 inch of thread engagement beyond the spacer face.
Stacking is physically possible, but a single spacer sized to the gap is more stable and easier to keep aligned during installation. Select the thickness that matches your offset directly.
It can be. The spacer corrects for the setback of the cabinet side behind the face frame, which is the most common reason a spacer is needed in face-frame work. Confirm the actual setback dimension equals 1 inch before ordering.
A slide mounted at the wrong depth fights the drawer on every cycle. Getting the offset right with a correctly sized, color-matched spacer means the installation goes in once and stays straight.
