This is a 1/4 inch nylon spacer from Bainbridge Manufacturing, sold in boxes of 50, designed to offset drawer slides from the cabinet side wall so the drawer box aligns precisely in the opening. The Almond finish blends with almond-toned cabinet interiors and melamine panels where a white or black spacer would stand out.
Drawer slides installed in face-frame cabinets often land slightly proud or short of the ideal mounting plane because the frame stile and the cabinet side are not flush. A 1/4 inch spacer behind the slide corrects that gap cleanly, letting the drawer box run centered in the opening without shimming with scrap material or bending the slide bracket. The same situation arises when a frameless cabinet's side panel carries a thin overlay, a finished end panel, or a nailer that shifts the effective mounting surface by a quarter inch. In either case, the spacer sets the slide back to the correct position without rework.
Nylon (polyamide) holds its shape under the compressive load of a screw and does not creep over time the way softer plastics can. The Almond color runs through the material, so scratches during installation do not expose a contrasting core. For cabinet interiors finished in almond melamine or a warm off-white laminate, the spacer disappears against the panel rather than drawing attention to the slide hardware.
Cabinet shops running almond-interior jobs keep a box of these on hand the same way they stock the white version for white interiors — it is a small part that prevents a color mismatch visible every time a drawer opens. Installers retrofitting slides into existing almond-toned cabinetry reach for this spacer when the original mount position needs a quarter inch of correction. Designers specifying hardware for almond kitchen packages include it in the hardware list so field crews have the right color spacer on site rather than defaulting to whatever is in the truck.
The spacer is a flat mounting shim, so it works behind any screw-on side-mount slide regardless of brand. Confirm that adding 1/4 inch to the slide's mount position still leaves the required side clearance for your specific slide — typically 1/2 inch per side for standard ball-bearing slides.
Yes. Nylon (polyamide) is a structural plastic that resists compression and does not creep under the clamping force of a mounting screw. The screw passes through or alongside the spacer and threads into the cabinet side, so the spacer stays put through normal drawer cycling.
Most installations use two spacers per slide member — one near the front mount point and one near the rear — so a pair of slides in one drawer takes four spacers. A box of 50 covers approximately 12 drawers at that rate, which suits a small production run or a service call stock.
The Almond color on these spacers is a standard industry match for almond cabinet interiors. Because the spacer sits behind the slide rather than on a visible face, a slight shade variation is rarely noticeable in practice. If an exact color match is critical to your application, compare the spacer against your panel before installing.
A quarter inch of offset can be the difference between a drawer that runs straight and one that binds or sits crooked in the opening — and having the right color on hand means the fix is clean, fast, and invisible when the drawer closes.
