What this slide is

Side mount slides are the hardware most American kitchens were built with. One member screws to the cabinet side, the other to the drawer box side, and steel ball bearings in a retainer between them carry the load. The PRO100 slide is a full extension version, so the whole drawer clears the cabinet face and the back is as easy to reach as the front. Würth rates it at 100 lb per pair in a zinc finish, and it closes with a plain, positive stop rather than a soft close damper.

The cabinet it fits

It fits any drawer box built for a 1/2 inch clearance on each side, the standard side mount rule, with drawer sides of 5/8 inch and up. In a frameless cabinet the cabinet member screws straight to the inside of the cabinet side. In a face frame cabinet the frame stands proud of the cabinet side, so the back of the slide needs a rear mounting bracket to reach the cabinet, and we list the matching bracket in slide clips and brackets. Available lengths are 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 inches; match the slide length to the drawer depth and to the inside depth of the cabinet.

Cabinet situation

Where this slide earns its keep: pantries, garages, shop cabinets, and any drawer where simple, serviceable hardware matters more than a hidden runner. It takes any side thickness, needs no notch or recess in the box, and a worn pair swaps out in minutes because nothing about the drawer box has to change. That also makes it an easy slide to keep a spare pair of on the shelf.

Installing it

Most side mount slides, this one included, disconnect with a lever near the front of each member; push one up and the other down and the drawer lifts free for cleaning, painting, or swapping a front. For the mounting sequence itself, How to install a replacement drawer box has the steps. If the slide ever runs gritty, a dry PTFE or silicone lubricant in the raceway works better over time than grease, which collects dust and can drag down a soft close module.

Pair it with a drawer box

We build the drawer box to go with the PRO100 slide in our Las Vegas shop. Pick a standard size drawer box for a common size, or a standard drawer box with slides if you want the box and the slides in one order, or a custom size box cut to the 1/32 inch. Dovetailed Baltic Birch or Hard Maple (Select Grade), Built in USA. Replacing a worn drawer on existing side mount slides is covered in Side mount drawer box replacement.

Questions

Does the PRO100 slide work in a face frame cabinet?

Yes, with a rear mounting bracket that carries the back of the slide across the gap between the face frame and the cabinet side. Brackets are sold separately; two complete one drawer.

Is the PRO100 slide soft close?

No, it closes with a positive mechanical stop. If you want soft close on a side mount slide, look at the soft close model in the same category.

How do I take a drawer off the PRO100 slide?

Open it fully and look for the disconnect lever near the front of each member. Push one lever up and the other down and the drawer lifts free; reverse the motion to put it back on.
