This is a 10 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 series, rated 100 lb per pair, finished in zinc, and designed for drawers where smooth, reliable travel is the job — nothing more, nothing less.
A 10 inch slide is a short-run tool built for compact drawers: bathroom vanity drawers, small spice pull-outs, nightstand drawers, and utility trays in shop cabinets where the cabinet depth is limited. Full extension on a short slide matters more than it sounds — it brings the back of a 10 inch drawer completely out to the opening, so a shallow drawer does not become a blind pocket. Standard motion suits these applications well because there is no need for a damper or spring on a lightweight tray that gets opened and left open while in use.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc plated finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides installed indoors. Zinc is not a decorative finish; it is a functional layer that resists corrosion through years of normal cabinet service. On a 10 inch slide that sits beside a compact drawer, the neutral metallic finish disappears against most cabinet interiors. This is a slide built to work, not to be seen.
The FR 5000 is Fulterer's core side-mount ball bearing line — a non-handed, zinc-finished, 100 lb rated family available in multiple lengths and motion configurations. The 10 inch version fits cabinet shops running production vanity and small-case work, contractors replacing worn slides in compact furniture, and builders or homeowners sizing up a bathroom or bedroom renovation. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to hit the required 1/2 inch clearance per side. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are needed to support the back of the slide — these are sold separately and are series-specific, so confirm the bracket matches the FR 5000 before ordering.
A standard-motion slide has no closing mechanism, so it does not pull the drawer shut — but it also has no detent to hold it open. On a level cabinet the drawer stays put. If the cabinet is slightly out of level, the drawer may drift; a hold-in version of the FR 5000 would solve that.
Ten inches is the closed slide length. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer member travels approximately the full 10 inches, bringing the whole drawer out to the cabinet face. Slide length and travel are separate specs, but on a full-extension model they are close to equal.
No. The FR 5000 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer without modification.
The FR 5000 standard-motion slide does not accept an add-on damper. If soft-close is a future requirement, start with the FR 5001 ECD soft-close version of this series rather than planning a retrofit.
When the drawer is compact, the load is manageable, and full access to the back matters, the 10 inch FR 5000 in zinc delivers exactly what the install needs — clean travel, honest capacity, and a finish that holds up without drawing attention to itself.
