Fulterer 12" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Black - 45072
Description
Fulterer 12" Full Extension Drawer Slides For Smooth Access
Fulterer 12" full extension drawer slides use a full extension design so the drawer travels the complete slide length, allowing clear access to stored items without working around a partially hidden drawer box. The ball bearing drawer slides use ball bearing action, which supports controlled, consistent movement under load, helping drawers open and close with less effort during daily use. An unhanded side mount layout lets the same member work on either side of the drawer, simplifying layout and stocking when multiple cabinets share the same slide model. These side mount slides position along the drawer sides, creating a familiar installation pattern for many shop and jobsite builds. The slides are identified by manufacturer part number 75072, which ties directly to this 12" size and feature set for repeat ordering. A 12" nominal length supports shorter drawers commonly found in compact cabinet bays or tight installation spaces.
Key Working Details Of The Fulterer 75072 Slides
- The full extension travel lets the drawer open to the full 12" slide length, improving access to contents and visibility into the back of the drawer during everyday use.
- The ball bearing construction provides guided steel-on-ball movement, which supports smoother opening and closing when drawers are loaded and cycled repeatedly.
- The unhanded configuration means each slide member can mount on either side of the drawer, simplifying orientation during installation and reducing setup errors.
- The side mounting design fixes the slides to the drawer sides and cabinet interior, creating a predictable reference for clearances and alignment in standard casework.
- The stop cushion/hold-close feature provides a controlled stop near the closed position, helping the drawer stay shut against the cabinet front in normal operation.
- The trigger disconnect lets the installer separate drawer and cabinet members, making it easier to mount parts individually and to remove drawers for service or adjustment.
- The 32mm hole pattern aligns with standard 32mm system drilling, which speeds cabinet member mounting on line-bored case sides in shop-built cabinets.
- Rear mounting brackets are available for face frame applications, giving an option to support the slide at the back of the cabinet when working with face frame construction.
Installation Details For Side Mount 12" Ball Bearing Slides
These Fulterer side mount drawer slides use a side mounting method, so the slide members fasten along the drawer sides and cabinet walls, establishing clear reference faces for squareness and setback. The 32mm hole pattern on the cabinet member lines up with 32mm system drilling, which supports faster layout in production casework that already uses system holes. A trigger disconnect feature separates the drawer member from the cabinet member, allowing installers to work on each piece independently and then reconnect after the drawer box is positioned. The full extension design uses matched telescoping members, giving the drawer its full 12" travel for access while still retracting completely into the cabinet when closed.
Using Fulterer 12" Slides In Cabinet Projects
Where These Side Mount Drawer Slides Fit Best
These Fulterer USA, Inc. 12" full extension ball bearing slides serve side mount drawer applications where the slide fastens to the drawer sides and cabinet interior. The 12" nominal length suits shallow drawers often found in upper cabinets, bathroom vanities, or short base cabinet bays. Their side mount layout fits standard drawer box constructions that rely on side-mounted hardware rather than under-mount designs. The unhanded configuration supports left and right side use with the same part, which is useful when building banks of drawers that all share the Fulterer 75072 slide. Because they use a 32mm hole pattern on the cabinet members, they tie directly into casework built around system line boring, helping production shops coordinate drilling and slide placement. Rear mounting brackets are available for face frame applications, extending the slide support back to the cabinet rear when working behind a face frame opening.
How Design Features Support Repeatable Drawer Performance
The full extension action on these Fulterer 12" ball bearing drawer slides is built from telescoping ball bearing members, which guides the drawer through its entire travel and returns it to the closed position with consistent geometry. Ball bearing movement provides point-contact rolling between members, reducing friction and supporting smoother motion compared to sliding metal-on-metal contact. The stop cushion/hold-close function adds a controlled resistance near the closed position, helping the drawer stay seated against the cabinet front in everyday use so fronts line up consistently. A trigger disconnect mechanism separates the drawer and cabinet members at a defined point, which supports accurate pre-mounting on both the drawer box and cabinet, then rejoining them on the same path used in service. The unhanded design keeps left and right installations functionally identical, helping shops standardize jigs and measurements. Combined with the 32mm hole pattern, these details support repeatable installations across multiple cabinets using the same part number 75072.
