This is a 12 inch full-extension soft-close side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5001 ECD series, rated 100 lb per pair and finished in zinc. At 12 inches, it fits the shorter drawers that turn up in base cabinet rollouts, bathroom vanities, and small utility cabinets — places where a standard-depth kitchen slide is simply too long to seat properly.
Most drawer slide decisions start with depth, and a 12 inch slide opens a range of applications that longer slides can't reach. Bathroom vanity base drawers, small upper spice rollouts, and narrow utility cabinet drawers all land in this length range. The full-extension design means the entire contents come to you when the drawer opens — handy when the drawer is tucked under a sink or packed into a tight bathroom base. The integrated damper takes the slam out of the close, which matters in bathrooms and bedrooms where noise carries.
The FR 5001 ECD slides are formed from steel and finished in zinc — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor cabinet applications. Zinc protects the steel members through years of daily cycling without requiring any maintenance. This is a functional, largely hidden finish: the slide sits alongside the drawer box and is barely visible once the drawer is closed. If a visible finish matters for the installation, the Black finish variant of this series is available separately.
Cabinet shops running shallow drawer boxes will find the 12 inch FR 5001 ECD a natural fit for the rollout and vanity positions in a production schedule. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a bathroom cabinet or compact kitchen unit get a genuine soft-close upgrade without moving to a longer slide that won't fit the cabinet depth. Because the slide is non-handed, ordering is straightforward: count the drawers, order that many pairs, and each pair handles either side without sorting. For face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting support is needed at the back of the slide — series-specific rear brackets are sold separately.
True soft-close. An integrated damper slows the drawer to a quiet, controlled stop over the last portion of closing travel. A self-close slide uses an undamped spring and can still slam — this one does not.
No — 12 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because it is full extension, the drawer travels approximately the full slide length and the entire drawer clears the cabinet opening. Slide length and travel are two separate facts.
No. The FR 5001 ECD is non-handed — both slides in a pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
The rating is 100 lb per pair — both slides together. Do not double that number by counting each slide separately.
Yes. Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide. Series-specific rear mounting brackets are required and are sold separately.
A 12 inch soft-close slide fills a specific gap in the drawer hardware lineup — shallow drawers that deserve damped closing just as much as full-depth kitchen drawers do. The FR 5001 ECD brings that same controlled close to the shorter boxes in the project.
