The Sugatsune ESR-3813 is a 22 inch, full-extension, 304 stainless steel side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide engineered for food-service, marine, laboratory, and healthcare settings where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or salt air make plated steel slides a liability. Sold per pair.
Stainless steel is the right material choice when the environment is the problem. Commercial kitchen drawers get wiped down with sanitizing chemicals daily; galley and marine cabinet drawers face salt air and condensation; lab and healthcare cart drawers may be exposed to disinfectants, fluids, and repeated washdown cycles. In any of these settings, a zinc-plated slide corrodes, binds, and eventually fails. The ESR-3813's 304 stainless construction resists all of those conditions without surface treatment or frequent replacement. It also suits outdoor cabinetry and anywhere a stainless aesthetic is part of the specification. For environments with continuous salt-water immersion, confirm whether 304 or 316 stainless is required for your application — this series is 304.
The slide members are formed from 304 stainless steel and left in a natural stainless finish — no coating to chip, peel, or trap contaminants in a food-safe setting. Ball bearings run in full-length formed raceways for smooth travel from first pull to full extension. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical position catch: it keeps the closed drawer from drifting or bouncing open, but it does not pull the drawer shut on its own and does not damp the closing motion. This is a standard-motion slide in the sense that closing is free — push the drawer home and the detent catches it, but the motion is not slowed or guided by a damper. If damped soft-close is required in a stainless slide, Sugatsune's ESR-DC/SC series covers that application.
Foodservice equipment fabricators, millwork shops fitting commercial kitchens and prep stations, marine cabinetmakers, and hospital or laboratory casework contractors all reach for a stainless slide when the spec sheet calls for corrosion resistance. The ESR-3813 also appears in residential installations — wine storage, outdoor kitchens under covered patios, and anywhere a client specifically calls out stainless hardware. At 68 lb per pair and 22 inches of full-extension travel, it covers a wide range of drawer sizes in those environments without needing a heavy-duty rating. Non-handed members mean a shop can stock one SKU and cut from both sides of the cabinet without sorting parts.
Yes. The 304 stainless construction resists the sanitizing chemicals and moisture common in commercial foodservice, and the natural stainless finish has no coating to chip into food-contact areas.
It is a mechanical position catch that holds the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open after you push it shut. It does not pull the drawer closed on its own and does not slow or damp the motion — it simply catches and holds the closed position until you pull the drawer open again.
Standard side-mount ball-bearing slides typically require 1/2 inch of clearance per side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior. Confirm the ESR-3813's specific side clearance requirement against Sugatsune's installation specification before sizing the box.
The ESR-3813-22 is sold per pair, as stated in the product data. One order covers one complete drawer.
304 stainless performs well in covered outdoor and marine environments with incidental moisture exposure. For applications with continuous salt-water contact or immersion, verify whether your project requires 316 stainless — this series is specified as 304.
When the cabinet is going into a space that gets wet, wiped down, or exposed to the elements, stainless is the material that keeps working long after a plated slide has given out. The ESR-3813 puts full-extension travel, a positive hold-in catch, and 304 stainless construction into a straightforward side-mount slide that fits any drawer without sorting left from right.
