The Fulterer FR 5000 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is a zinc-finished steel slide rated 100 lb per pair, designed for kitchens, shops, and utility cabinets where smooth travel and honest load capacity matter more than concealed hardware.
Full extension and a 100 lb rating per pair make this slide the natural fit for any drawer where reaching the back of the box matters. Kitchen base cabinets with deep pots-and-pans drawers, shop utility pulls, and office storage all benefit from the clean telescopic travel and the confidence of a rated load class. Because the motion is standard — no detent, spring, or damper — the drawer stays open while you work and stays closed without fighting a spring. That behavior suits shop environments and utility drawers well, and it is the right base slide for a cabinet that will later receive a push-to-open accessory.
The FR 5000 series is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplated finish, the standard corrosion protection for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor service. Zinc is a functional finish: it protects the steel members through years of daily use without the price premium of a decorative coating. The slide sits beside the drawer box and is visible when the drawer is open, but the zinc tone blends cleanly with most cabinet interiors. This is a slide built to be used, not displayed — the finish reflects that.
Cabinet shops running production work, contractors stocking a truck, and homeowners building or upgrading utility drawers all land on the FR 5000 zinc as the dependable standard choice. The non-handed design simplifies the bench workflow on multi-drawer jobs. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the industry standard for this class, so it drops into any opening sized for a standard ball bearing slide. Face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide; add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for that installation, sold separately. Frameless cabinets take the slide directly on the cabinet side panel with no additional hardware.
Standard motion means no self-close spring and no detent — the slide is free-rolling. On a level installation in a fixed cabinet, the drawer will stay where it is left. If the cabinet is not perfectly plumb or the application is mobile, consider a hold-in detent variant instead.
The FR 5000 series is designed for standard-width cabinet drawers. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide. For drawer widths beyond the standard range or for very wide drawers, verify the drawer box width against Fulterer's published specifications for this series.
Yes. A standard-motion free-rolling slide is the correct base for a mechanical push-to-open accessory because it does not fight the ejector spring. A self-close or soft-close slide conflicts with a basic push-to-open mechanism unless the product is a combined unit.
No. The FR 5000 is non-handed — every slide in the pair is identical and fits either side of the drawer, so you order by quantity and length, not by handedness.
Confirm the sold-as unit on the product listing before ordering. Most FR 5000 SKUs sell as a pair, but production packs for cabinet member and drawer member components are also available in this line. The listing quantity field shows what you receive.
Match the 20 inch length to your cabinet's interior depth, size the drawer box for 1/2 inch of clearance per side, and these slides go in straight. No left-right sorting, no mechanisms to adjust — just smooth ball bearing travel and a 100 lb rated pair ready for the next job.
