This is a 28 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 that brings the drawer to a quiet, controlled close. The zinc finish blends into the cabinet interior and holds up through years of daily use indoors.
A 28 inch slide suits deeper cabinet runs: tall pantry lower drawers, wide base cabinet pot drawers, and shop or utility cabinets where the drawer box runs close to the full cabinet depth. At this length, full extension is the spec that matters most — the back of a 28 inch drawer is a long reach without it. The integrated soft-close damper makes the difference in any setting where repeated drawer closings would otherwise produce noise: a kitchen where quiet matters, a shared workspace, or a cabinet near a sleeping area. Because the slide is side-mount, it works on face-frame and frameless construction alike, provided the rear is properly supported.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides — it protects the steel through the humidity cycles and daily contact of indoor cabinet service without adding unnecessary cost. It is not a decorative finish and not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments; this slide is for dry, indoor work. The zinc tone reads as a neutral metallic beside the drawer box, which suits the slide's job: staying out of sight while the drawer does its work.
At 100 lb per pair and 28 inches, this slide fits the volume end of kitchen and cabinet shop production. A cabinet maker running deeper base cabinets or tall lower drawers can use it across the whole run without stepping up to a heavier or longer slide. Designers specifying soft-close throughout a kitchen will find the FR 5001 ECD series consistent from shorter lengths up through this 28 inch model. Contractors who need a reliable soft-close side-mount slide that installs without fuss — same clearance, same mounting pattern as every other standard BB slide — will recognize the format immediately. The non-handed orientation keeps the stockroom simple: one SKU covers both sides of every drawer.
No. This slide has a damper that slows the drawer to a controlled, quiet close over the last portion of travel — that is soft-close. A self-close slide uses a spring to pull the drawer shut without any damping. The two behave differently: a self-close can still slam, a soft-close cannot.
No. Twenty-eight inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travels approximately the full slide length — bringing the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face — but slide length and travel are two separate specs.
One-half inch per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening and both slides will have the clearance they need.
Yes, but face-frame construction requires rear support for the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your cabinet configuration — these are sold separately and are series-specific.
Please confirm the sold-as unit on the product listing before ordering — slides in this segment are typically sold as a pair, but verify to avoid a short order.
The Fulterer FR 5001 ECD 28 inch slide brings together the full-extension reach deeper drawers need and the damped close that makes a cabinet feel finished — in the zinc finish and standard clearance format that installs without surprises.
