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 PRO100SC 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 bright zinc finish, and the soft close damper catches the drawer on the last stretch and pulls it shut without a bang.

The cabinet it fits

Drawer side thickness is flexible on a side mount slide, because the hardware only touches the outside face of the box; 5/8 inch and up works on the PRO100SC slide. The width rule does not change with thickness: 1/2 inch of clearance on each side, so the box is 1 inch narrower than the opening. Frameless cabinets take the slide straight on the cabinet side; face frame cabinets carry the back of the slide on a rear mounting bracket from slide clips and brackets. The PRO100SC slide runs 12 to 28 inches.

Cabinet situation

Cabinet situation: most kitchen and bath cabinets built over the last few decades are frameless or close to it, and the PRO100SC slide goes straight on without blocking. Older face frame cabinets, and some site built ones, need the rear bracket mentioned above, because without it the back of the slide has nothing to screw to and the drawer sags at the rear over time. Either way the drawer box itself does not change: same width rule, same depth rule, no notch or recess required.

Installing it

Installation is straightforward: fix the cabinet members level at the same height on both sides, fix the drawer members to the box, and slide the drawer on. The step by step is in How to install a replacement drawer box. Not sure the old drawer was on a side mount slide? Drawer slide types shows how to recognize each type, and Drawer side thickness covers which side thickness each slide wants.

Pair it with a drawer box

Order the box to go with the PRO100SC slide from our Las Vegas shop in Baltic Birch or Hard Maple (Select Grade), Built in USA: a custom size dovetail drawer box cut to the 1/32 inch, a standard size drawer box, or a standard drawer box with slides with a side mount pair already in the box. Side mount drawer box replacement walks through keeping the slides and only replacing the box.

Questions

Is the PRO100SC slide soft close?

Yes. The damper is built into the slide and pulls the drawer shut on the last stretch of travel.

How do I take a drawer off the PRO100SC 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.

How wide a drawer can the PRO100SC slide carry?

Full extension ball bearing slides in this load class are generally sized for drawers up to about 24 inches wide. Wider or heavier drawers want a heavier rated slide.
