This 24 inch full-extension soft-close ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5001 ECD series brings damped, quiet closing to a side-mount installation rated at 100 lb per pair. It is the slide to reach for when a kitchen, utility, or shop drawer gets opened dozens of times a day and needs to close without slamming every time.
A 24 inch soft-close slide earns its place in drawers that take real punishment. Kitchen base cabinets, pantry pull-outs, and bathroom vanity drawers all benefit from the combination of full extension and damped closing. In a shop or garage, the same slide keeps a heavily loaded tool drawer from crashing shut and keeps the contents from shifting on impact. The 100 lb per pair rating handles most residential and light commercial drawer loads without stepping up to a heavier slide class, and the 24 inch length suits the deeper base cabinets common in production kitchen work.
The slide is built from cold-formed steel members with a zinc plated finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides: it protects the steel through years of indoor cycling and keeps the profile low-profile and visually neutral beside the drawer box. This is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is suited for dry indoor installations. The slide sits beside the open drawer rather than beneath it, so the zinc finish stays mostly out of sight in daily use.
This slide fits cabinet shops running production kitchen and bath work, contractors sourcing hardware for a full-house install, and homeowners replacing worn or noisy slides in an existing cabinet. The non-handed design cuts down on inventory complexity: one part number covers both sides of every drawer. For face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide. Those brackets are series-specific and sold separately. In frameless cabinets, the slide mounts directly to the panel side on the standard 32mm hole grid.
True soft-close. The FR 5001 ECD uses an integrated damper that catches the drawer and slows it to a controlled, silent close over the last portion of travel. It is not a self-closing spring ramp, which closes firmly but without damping.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to seat both slides correctly.
No. The 24 inch measurement is the closed length of the slide. Because this slide is full extension, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. Slide length and drawer travel are separate facts.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both members in the pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
Zinc plating protects the steel through normal indoor use. It is not rated for wet, washdown, or exterior environments. For those applications, a stainless or coated slide is the right choice.
The Fulterer FR 5001 ECD 24 inch soft-close slide delivers full extension, damped closing, and a 100 lb per pair rating in a non-handed zinc package that fits straight into production cabinetry or a single-drawer replacement job.
