This is a 28 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 series, rated 100 lb per pair in a zinc finish. It is the standard-motion version of the FR 5000 line: no damper, no detent, no spring — just smooth, consistent ball bearing travel for a drawer that stays where you leave it.
A 28 inch slide is the right choice when the cabinet interior runs deep enough to warrant it — think base cabinet pull-outs, pantry drawers, deep utility storage, and workbench drawers where the back third of the box would otherwise stay unreachable. Full extension means the entire drawer clears the face frame or box opening, so reaching the rear of a loaded spice pull-out or a deep toolbox drawer does not require fishing around in the dark. The standard-motion design also makes this slide a natural match for handle-less fronts fitted with a separate push-to-open mechanism, since there is no closing spring to work against the ejector.
The zinc-plated steel members are the category standard for a reason: they protect the slide through years of indoor cycling without adding cost that does not show in service. Zinc is a functional finish on a component that lives beside the drawer box, mostly out of sight. It is not a decorative or stainless-grade surface. For dry, indoor cabinet work, it is exactly what the application calls for.
Cabinet shops running deep base cabinets, pantry units, and utility storage will find the 28 inch length covers the drawer depths that shorter standard slides cannot reach. The 100 lb per pair rating is sufficient for most residential and light commercial kitchen drawers, workshop storage, and office utility pulls. Designers specifying handle-less fronts with mechanical push-to-open will appreciate the standard-motion slide's clean compatibility. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch side clearance per side. In face-frame cabinets, add the appropriate rear mounting brackets — these are series-specific and sold separately.
Yes. Full extension brings the entire drawer clear of the opening, so the back of a 28 inch drawer is fully accessible at full open.
28 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension model, the drawer travel is approximately the same — the drawer clears its full length out to the cabinet face.
Standard motion means there is no soft-close damper, self-close spring, or hold-in detent. The drawer rolls on the ball bearings and stays at whatever position you leave it.
No. The FR 5000 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
One pair of slides. Confirm the sold-as quantity on the product page before placing a volume order.
Yes. Face-frame installations require rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide. Brackets are series-specific and sold separately — confirm the correct bracket for the FR 5000 before ordering.
When the job calls for a deep drawer that opens cleanly and stays put, the Fulterer FR 5000 28 inch zinc slide gives you full access to the back of the box, a 100 lb rating, and a clean standard-motion action — ready to install and built to keep cycling.
