This Fulterer FR5210 is a 20 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with over-travel extension, finished in zinc and sized for kitchen, shop, and utility drawers that sit beneath overhanging countertops or deep face frames. It is non-handed, so both slides in a pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer box.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face and stops. An over-travel slide goes further: the drawer member pushes past the nominal length so the drawer clears whatever is sitting in front of the opening — a countertop lip, a thick face frame, or an appliance garage. On a kitchen base cabinet with a stone countertop overhang, that extra travel is the difference between reaching the back of the drawer easily and fishing around the edge. Workshop and utility drawers under benchtop overhangs benefit the same way. The 20 inch slide length suits standard-depth base cabinets and shop benches; pair it with a drawer box built to the appropriate nominal length for clean travel end to end.
The FR5210 is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides — it protects the steel members through everyday indoor service without adding bulk or changing the slide's profile. This is a functional, low-profile finish suited to drawers where the slide sits beside the box and out of direct sight. It is not rated for wet, outdoor, or marine environments; for those applications, a stainless or coated slide is the right call.
Cabinet shops building base cabinets for kitchens with thick countertop overhangs will get the most from the over-travel action — it solves the access problem without requiring a different cabinet or drawer box design. Contractors retrofitting drawers in tight installations where the counter sits close to the drawer front will find the same benefit. The zinc finish blends into standard cabinet interiors and suits any volume install where appearance inside the box is secondary to clean, reliable operation. Because the slide is non-handed, shops can pull from a single bin for both sides of every drawer, cutting picking errors on large runs.
The load rating for the Fulterer FR5210 is not confirmed in the available product data. Fulterer's FR 5000-family side-mount ball bearing slides are typically rated in the 100 lb class per pair, but confirm the specific rating for this model before specifying it for heavy-duty applications.
The over-travel distance for the FR5210 is not stated in the current product data. The slide is confirmed as an over-travel model, meaning the drawer member extends beyond the 20 inch nominal length, but the exact additional travel should be verified with Fulterer's specification sheet before building to a critical dimension.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with no closing mechanism. The drawer stays wherever it is left. If damped closing is needed, look to the Fulterer FR5001 soft-close series in the same side-mount ball bearing family.
Side-mount ball bearing slides in this segment nominally require 1/2 inch of clearance per side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior wall. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the opening to achieve that clearance on both sides. Verify the FR5210's exact tolerance against the Fulterer spec sheet if you are working to tight box-width tolerances.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets require rear support for the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series — brackets are series-specific and sold separately. Without rear support, the slide will not seat correctly and the drawer will rack.
The zinc-finished FR5210 gives cabinet builders and contractors a straightforward over-travel side-mount slide that handles the geometry challenges countertop overhangs create — no workaround required, just clean extra travel built into the slide itself.
