The Sugatsune ESR-3813-12 is a 12 inch, full-extension side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide machined from 304 stainless steel, designed for installations where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or salt air make standard plated slides impractical. A hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed until intentionally pulled — no drift, no bounce-back.
This is a slide built around one primary selection reason: the environment is hostile to plated steel. Commercial kitchen pass-through stations, prep-line drawers, and undercounter equipment take daily washdowns with water and cleaning solution — conditions that corrode zinc-plated slides within months. The ESR-3813-12 stays serviceable through those cycles. The same logic applies in marine galleys, laboratory casework, healthcare equipment carts, and outdoor or covered storage where salt air or humidity is a constant. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds practical value in mobile or vibration-prone settings, keeping the drawer shut when the cart moves or the boat pitches. At 12 inches, this slide fits compact undercounter drawers, equipment cart drawers, and shallow utility compartments where a longer slide would not have the installation depth.
The ESR-3813 series is built from 304 stainless steel throughout — not a stainless-look plated finish over carbon steel, but the corrosion-resistant alloy itself. For most food-service, medical, and general washdown applications, 304 is the appropriate specification. If continuous salt-water immersion or aggressive chloride exposure is a factor, confirm whether 316 grade is required for your environment, as the source data specifies 304. The slide ships with a stainless steel appearance that suits both stainless-clad interiors and painted metal cabinet boxes. The ball-bearing construction requires no lubrication beyond standard maintenance intervals.
Specifiers and shop owners outfitting commercial kitchens, healthcare carts, lab benches, and marine cabinetry will reach for this slide where a plated alternative is off the table. It also serves residential projects with outdoor kitchens, covered bar areas, or laundry rooms that take regular water exposure. Because the slides are non-handed and sold per pair, they are straightforward to order in quantity without managing left- and right-hand SKUs separately. Cabinet shops building to food-service or medical specifications will find the 12 inch length covers compact drawer modules and equipment compartments that are common in those environments.
It is the alloy itself. The ESR-3813-12 is made from 304 stainless steel, not a plated or coated steel member. That is why it suits environments where surface finishes wear away under repeated washdowns.
The hold-in detent catches the drawer in the closed position so it stays shut against vibration, movement, and accidental contact. Anti-rebound means the drawer does not bounce back open after a firm push home. It releases with a normal pull — there is no lock to disengage.
No. The ESR-3813-12 has a hold-in anti-rebound detent, not a soft-close damper. The drawer closes without damping. If you need soft-close in a stainless slide, Sugatsune's ESR-DC/SC series adds that feature.
Side-mount ball-bearing slides in this class typically require 1/2 inch of clearance per side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior. Confirm the ESR-3813 specification sheet for the exact clearance value before sizing your drawer box.
The SAP data lists this slide per pair. Confirm the sold-as unit on the product page before placing a multi-drawer order.
Wherever moisture, cleaning agents, or outdoor exposure would shorten the life of a plated slide, the ESR-3813-12 keeps the drawer running. Specify it for the jobs where material selection is the whole decision.
