This 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 series is built for indoor cabinetry where a zinc finish, honest 100 lb capacity, and smooth steel-on-steel travel are what the job calls for. No closing mechanism, no added complexity — just a dependable slide that works in kitchen base cabinets, shop drawers, utility cabinetry, and anywhere a short-depth drawer needs full access to its contents.
A 12 inch slide is the right choice for shallow drawers: spice pull-outs beside a range, small utility drawers in a base cabinet island, or compact shop drawers in a wall cabinet. Full extension at this length means the drawer clears the cabinet opening completely, so a hand can reach the back without angling. The standard-motion design suits these applications well — in a busy kitchen or shop, a drawer that stays open while you load or unload it is often more useful than one that closes on its own.
The FR 5000 slide is cold-formed steel with ball bearings running in full-length raceways between the cabinet and drawer members. The zinc electroplate is the working standard for indoor side-mount slides: it handles the humidity and temperature swings of a kitchen or workshop without surface corrosion, and it stays out of the way visually once the drawer is installed. Zinc is a functional finish — it is not a decorative or stainless-equivalent coating, and it is intended for dry, indoor installations.
Cabinet shops running shallow drawer boxes through production, contractors replacing worn slides in existing shallow base cabinets, and homeowners adding pull-out organizers to a lower cabinet all reach for a slide like this one. The non-handed design simplifies ordering for any of them — one line item, and the pair covers both sides of the drawer. The FR 5000 is the standard workhorse in Fulterer's side-mount ball bearing line: no premium motion features, no specialty rating, just a full-extension slide that installs predictably and performs across years of daily use.
No. Zinc electroplate protects against ordinary indoor conditions, but it is not stainless steel and is not rated for wet or exterior applications. Keep these slides for dry, indoor work.
The FR 5000 series is designed for standard cabinet widths. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch clearance per side. Maximum drawer width guidance is not published for this series — size to your cabinet opening as you would with any side-mount slide.
Per pair. One pair of these slides — one on each side of the drawer — supports up to 100 lb.
Side-mount slides need rear support when installed in a face-frame cabinet. Rear mounting brackets are sold separately and are series-specific — confirm the bracket option for the FR 5000 before you order for a face-frame application.
No. 12 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because it is a full-extension design, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the complete drawer out to the cabinet face.
Short drawer boxes deserve the same reliable travel as deeper ones — full extension, a clean zinc finish, and a 100 lb rating give this 12 inch Fulterer FR 5000 slide everything a shallow cabinet drawer needs to work well for the long run.
