This is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Sugatsune's ESR-DC series, built from stainless steel and rated 111 lb per pair. Where zinc-finished slides corrode and standard cabinet hardware fails, this slide holds up — making it the right call for marine cabinetry, commercial kitchens, lab casework, and anywhere moisture and cleaning agents are part of the routine.
The ESR-DC series earns its place wherever water, humidity, or cleaning chemicals are a regular presence. Marine galley drawers, commercial food-service counters, laboratory casework, and outdoor-adjacent storage all put ordinary zinc slides at risk of rust and stiction within months. Stainless steel members run the same full-extension telescopic ball bearing action as a zinc cabinet slide, but hold their surface and their smooth travel through conditions that zinc cannot survive. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a practical benefit in these settings: in a boat or vehicle, the closed drawer stays closed through motion; in a lab or food-prep counter, it does not drift open on an uneven floor.
The slide members are stainless steel — a material step up from zinc plating, not a cosmetic one. Stainless resists surface oxidation and handles repeated exposure to water, cleaning agents, and salt air in a way that electroplated steel cannot. The finish is functional and consistent across both members, and the slide will look the same a year into service as it did on installation day. This is indoor and controlled-environment hardware; for true marine or food-service washdown specifications, confirm the stainless grade against your project requirements before ordering.
This slide is the right fit for cabinet shops and contractors building for wet or demanding environments: restaurant and commercial kitchen casework, laboratory and medical furniture, marine and boat interiors, and outdoor kitchens under cover. Designers specifying hardware for high-humidity rooms — laundry rooms, spa-adjacent vanities, wine cellars — will also find the stainless finish the only defensible choice. At 12 inches, this is sized for shallow drawers: spice pull-outs, shallow utility trays, and drawer stacks in compact cabinetry. The 111 lb per pair rating covers a loaded shallow drawer comfortably. Sold as a pair.
In a dry indoor cabinet, zinc is fine. Where water, steam, salt air, or cleaning chemicals are regular factors, zinc plating will corrode over time, leading to surface rust and degraded travel. Stainless steel eliminates that failure mode and is the appropriate choice for wet, marine, or washdown environments.
It is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer closed once shut, preventing it from bouncing back open when pushed firmly. It does not pull the drawer shut on its own, and it is not a damped soft-close — there is no spring assist or damper. The drawer stays where you put it until pulled open intentionally.
With 1/2 inch of side clearance required per side, the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening — one slide on each side accounts for the full inch of clearance.
No. The ESR-DC series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order one pair per drawer.
Face-frame construction requires support at the rear of the slide. Rear mounting brackets are not included and are sold separately; confirm bracket compatibility with the ESR-DC series before ordering for a face-frame installation.
When the job calls for cabinetry that will stand up to moisture, washdown, or corrosive conditions, the stainless ESR-DC slide removes the hardware from the list of things that will need replacing early.
