This is a 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5001 ECD soft-close line, rated 100 lb per pair, with a zinc finish and an integrated damper that catches the drawer near closed and settles it shut quietly. It is a natural fit anywhere a longer drawer run meets a preference for a clean, blends-into-the-cabinet look.
Most standard kitchen cabinet bases run 21 to 24 inches deep, but pantry towers, tall utility cabinets, island drawers, and shop benches regularly call for a longer slide. At 26 inches, this slide supports those deeper boxes without requiring a custom solution. Deep spice pull-outs, under-counter file drawers, and garage storage trays all benefit from the longer run, and the full-extension action means nothing hides at the rear of the box. The soft-close damper is equally useful here: a long, loaded drawer carries more momentum into the close, and the integrated mechanism absorbs it so the cabinet never takes the impact.
The slide is cold-formed steel throughout, with a zinc plated finish that protects against indoor corrosion through the full service life of the cabinet. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides: it is durable, consistent, and unobtrusive alongside the drawer box. This is not a decorative finish and is not intended for wet or outdoor environments. Inside a dry cabinet interior, it performs exactly as the application requires.
Cabinet shops specifying pantry or island drawers, contractors fitting out utility rooms and garages, and homeowners upgrading a kitchen with deeper drawer boxes will all find this slide straightforward to work with. The non-handed, lever-disconnect design reduces bench time on production runs, and the zinc finish integrates cleanly regardless of the cabinet's interior color. Builders who have standardized on 1/2 inch side clearance can drop this slide into that existing dimension without reworking drawer box widths. For face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are needed at the back of the slide; those brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
It is a true damped soft-close. An integrated damper module catches the drawer near the end of its travel and slows it to a quiet, controlled close. It is not a spring-ramp self-close, which can still slam under a load.
No. The 26 inch measurement is the closed length of the slide. Because the slide is full extension, the drawer travels approximately that full length, bringing the entire box out to the cabinet face. Slide length and drawer travel are separate facts; full extension simply means the travel matches the slide's nominal length as closely as possible.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical. Order the quantity of pairs your drawer count requires.
Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide. That clearance figure is the standard for this slide and matches most side-mount ball bearing installations.
Yes, but face-frame construction requires rear support at the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets, sold separately. Brackets for the FR 5001 series are series-specific and not interchangeable with other brands' hardware.
The Fulterer FR 5001 ECD in 26 inches combines the reach needed for deep cabinets with the soft-close finish that keeps them functioning quietly for the long run. Pair per drawer, and confirm your rear bracket needs for face-frame installs before ordering.
