This is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5001 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with an integrated damper and a zinc finish that blends into standard cabinet interiors. It belongs in any drawer where smooth travel and quiet closing matter without a visible hardware statement.
A 16 inch slide is the right choice for shallower cabinet runs: bathroom vanity drawers, small base cabinet drawers, nightstands, and utility cases where the interior depth sits in the 15 to 17 inch range. The soft-close makes it equally at home in a residential kitchen and a client-facing showroom display. Because it is full extension, every inch of the 16 inch drawer depth is accessible at full open, which matters in compact spaces where rear storage gets used regularly. The 100 lb per pair rating covers the load in most of these settings without stepping up to a heavier duty class.
The slide members are cold-formed steel running ball bearings in full-length raceways. Zinc plating provides the standard indoor corrosion protection the side-mount segment is built on. This is a functional, go-anywhere finish rather than a decorative one — it does not compete with hardware finishes at the front of the drawer and costs nothing in terms of visual noise inside a frameless or face-frame cabinet. The damper module is integrated into the slide body, so there are no external add-ons to seat or adjust at install.
This slide suits both frameless and face-frame cabinet construction. In a frameless cabinet, the slide mounts directly to the side panel on the standard hole pattern. In a face-frame cabinet, the back end of the slide needs rear support — use a compatible rear mounting bracket, sold separately, sized for this series. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide. The non-handed construction means no left or right sorting: order one pair per drawer and both pieces install identically.
True soft-close — an integrated damper slows the drawer to a controlled, silent close over the last portion of travel. There is no undamped spring ramp; the drawer does not snap or slam shut.
No. The slide is full extension and the damper only engages on the closing stroke. The drawer opens to the full slide length, bringing the entire box out to the cabinet face.
The FR 5001 series is a standard-class side-mount slide. For very wide drawers, consult the Fulterer series specifications for a maximum recommended drawer width before ordering.
Yes. In face-frame construction the back of the slide needs rear support. Use a rear mounting bracket compatible with this series, sold separately — the bracket is series-specific and is not interchangeable with brackets from other slide lines.
One pair per order — the quantity needed for one complete drawer installation. Both pieces are identical due to the non-handed design.
Full extension at 100 lb, a damped close, and a zinc finish that works in any cabinet interior: the FR 5001 covers the essentials cleanly at 16 inches. Order a pair per drawer and the installation is straightforward from the first screw to the final close.
