The Sugatsune ESR-DC series is a 24 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide machined from stainless steel, rated 92 lb per pair. Where a standard zinc-finished slide would be the wrong material choice — food-prep areas, wet labs, marine cabinetry, commercial kitchens, or any environment that sees moisture, cleaning agents, or humidity — this is the slide to reach for. The hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed until pulled, without a spring or damper.
A zinc finish is the industry standard for indoor cabinet work, and it performs well there. Stainless steel becomes the right call when the environment steps outside that zone. Commercial kitchens and food-prep counters get regular washdowns. Marine and coastal installations deal with salt air and condensation. Wet labs and healthcare storage see chemical exposure that would compromise a plated slide over time. The ESR-DC series addresses those conditions directly: the stainless material holds up where the finish on a standard slide would not. Full extension means every inch of a loaded drawer is reachable, which matters in a professional service environment where efficiency counts. The hold-in detent adds a practical layer — in a busy setting, a drawer that stays shut until intentionally pulled is a safety and workflow benefit.
Stainless steel members run on steel ball bearings in full-length raceways, delivering smooth telescopic travel under load. Stainless steel provides genuine corrosion resistance beyond what a zinc-plated surface can offer — the resistance is in the alloy, not a surface coating that can abrade or chip. The non-handed slide design keeps both members identical, which simplifies inventory and installation. This slide is a standard-clearance side-mount: 1/2 inch per side, so the drawer box is sized 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
Designers and specifiers working on commercial food-service, healthcare, laboratory, or marine cabinetry reach for stainless hardware as a baseline requirement. Cabinet shops building for restaurant or institutional clients need slides that can go into a project spec without a corrosion-resistance caveat. The 92 lb per pair rating covers the load range of a working service drawer, and the full-extension travel makes the slide suitable anywhere rear access to the drawer matters. This slide is also a fit for residential wet bar and outdoor-adjacent installations where elevated humidity is the norm rather than the exception. Sold as a pair.
It is the material, not a coating. The slide members are stainless steel — the corrosion resistance comes from the alloy itself, not a surface treatment that can wear away.
A mechanical detent keeps the drawer closed once it is pushed shut, stopping it from bouncing back open. There is no spring pulling it closed and no damper slowing it — the drawer stays put until you pull it open.
The 24 inch figure is the closed (nominal) length of the slide. Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face — but slide length and travel are two separate specs, and you match slide length to the cabinet's interior depth.
No. The ESR-DC is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your cabinet construction; the brackets are not included and are series-specific.
When the environment calls for stainless and the drawer needs full rear access, the Sugatsune ESR-DC series delivers the combination — corrosion-resistant material, honest full-extension travel, and a stay-closed detent — in a standard side-mount format that installs like any other ball bearing slide.
