This is a 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5001 ECD series, rated 100 lb per pair, with an integrated damper and a zinc finish that blends into the cabinet interior. Designed for kitchen, office, and utility drawers where quiet, controlled closing matters as much as smooth travel.
A 20 inch slide length fits drawers in standard base cabinets, kitchen islands, and workshop benches where the cabinet interior runs 20 to 22 inches deep. Full extension carries the drawer all the way past the cabinet face so the contents at the back are fully visible and reachable, not hidden behind the cabinet edge. The soft-close damper engages automatically on every close, which matters in high-traffic kitchens, shared offices, and any setting where a slamming drawer is a real nuisance. Because the FR 5001 ECD runs on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening — the same sizing formula as standard side-mount ball bearing slides — making this a direct soft-close upgrade on an existing drawer without changing box dimensions.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides: it resists the light corrosion that comes with indoor humidity, holds up through years of daily cycles, and stays unobtrusive beside an open drawer. This is a functional finish, not a decorative one, and it reads as neutral silver-grey in the cabinet. The damper module is integrated into the slide body and carries the same zinc finish as the rest of the assembly.
Cabinet shops and contractors specifying kitchen remodels will find the 100 lb per pair rating, full-extension travel, and damped close cover the majority of residential drawer applications at a standard clearance. Homeowners upgrading existing cabinetry appreciate that a non-handed design means one SKU covers every position in the cabinet run. Designers specifying handle-less or soft-close kitchens get a slide that delivers the expected quiet close without requiring a separate add-on damper. The zinc finish coordinates with white, almond, and natural wood cabinet interiors without drawing attention.
True damped soft-close. The FR 5001 ECD uses an integrated damper that slows the drawer to a controlled, quiet stop. A self-close spring pulls the drawer shut but does not slow it; this slide does both — it pulls and cushions.
The 20 inch measurement is the closed slide length. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer member travels approximately its full length, bringing the entire drawer out past the cabinet face. Slide length and drawer travel are related but not identical — a full-extension slide travels close to its nominal length.
Each slide requires 1/2 inch of clearance between the drawer box side and the cabinet interior. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the opening to leave 1/2 inch per side.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are the same part. Order one pair per drawer and install either slide on either side.
Side-mount slides installed in face-frame cabinets need rear support because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Rear mounting brackets, sold separately, are required for face-frame installations. Brackets are series-specific — confirm the matching rear bracket for the FR 5001 ECD before ordering.
The FR 5001 ECD delivers full extension and damped soft-close in a zinc-finished side-mount slide that installs exactly like a standard ball bearing slide. One pair per drawer, non-handed, 1/2 inch clearance per side.
