This is a 10 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5043 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a standard zinc finish that disappears inside the cabinet. At 10 inches, it is built for shallow drawers in spice pull-outs, bathroom vanities, and compact base cabinets where a full-extension slide in a longer length simply will not fit.
At 10 inches, this slide addresses a real gap in cabinet hardware: compact drawers that still need full rear access. Spice pull-outs, bathroom vanity drawers, and small utility cabinets built with shallow interior depths cannot accommodate an 18 or 22 inch slide, but they benefit just as much from full extension. The FR 5043 brings the back of a 10 inch drawer all the way to the cabinet face — no reaching past a stopped drawer to retrieve what is in the rear.
Standard motion suits applications where a closing mechanism would interfere or is simply not needed. Push-to-open retrofit work, shop drawers that stay open while hands are busy, and utility drawers that see infrequent use are all natural fits. The slide does not pull, push, or dampen the drawer — it rides the bearings and holds position.
Cold-formed steel members run on ball bearings seated in full-length raceways. The zinc finish protects the steel against the humidity and minor moisture exposure common in indoor cabinet environments. Zinc is a functional finish on a slide that sits beside the drawer box; it is not a decorative or stainless-grade coating, and it is rated for dry indoor use. The result is a slide that does its job without drawing attention to itself — which is exactly the point for hardware that lives inside a cabinet.
Cabinet shops building compact vanity bases, spice storage, or small utility cabinets will find the 10 inch length covers the cases where nothing longer is practical. Designers specifying hardware for shallow cabinet interiors can call out this slide by series and finish without stepping up to a custom or specialty product. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a bathroom vanity or a small kitchen cabinet get full extension and a genuine 100 lb rating in a size that actually fits the box.
The non-handed design simplifies ordering: one line item covers both sides of every drawer. For face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide — those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer member travels approximately the full 10 inch slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. The slide length and the travel are effectively the same — that is what full extension means.
The product is sold as a pair — one pair installs one complete drawer. Confirm the quantity at checkout if you are equipping multiple drawers.
Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap on both sides.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets need rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide. Those brackets are sold separately; confirm they are series-compatible before ordering.
This is a standard-motion slide with no integrated closing mechanism. If soft-close is a priority, look at the Fulterer FR 5001 soft-close series in the same clearance and load class rather than attempting to retrofit a damper to this model.
A 10 inch cabinet drawer that opens all the way is more useful than a longer drawer that stops short — and that is exactly what this slide delivers in a zinc finish built to last indoors.
