Description
Fulterer 26 Inch Soft Close Drawer Slides
Fulterer 26 inch soft close drawer slides use a precision ball bearing design for heavy-duty applications in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional projects, so drawers move smoothly under load in demanding installations. The drawer slide is a side mount style, which positions on the cabinet side for straightforward layout with common shop methods. A soft-close mechanism is built into the slide, so drawers are drawn gently to the closed position, reducing slamming in high-use environments. The drawer profile features an easy to operate disconnect finger release trigger, so the drawer can be separated from the cabinet member for faster installation or removal during finishing and service work. The drawer slide is non-handed, so the same slide works on either side of the drawer, helping simplify stocking and reduce part mix-ups on the job. Over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, is standard, allowing the drawer to extend beyond full access for easier reach to items at the back.
Key Drawer Slide Details That Support Real Jobs
- The precision ball bearing construction supports heavy-duty use in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional applications, so drawers open and close consistently where frequent operation is expected.
- The soft-close function slows the drawer in the last portion of travel, which helps control noise and drawer impact in shared or high-traffic spaces.
- The drawer profile with an easy to operate disconnect finger release trigger allows quick removal of the drawer member, which can speed mounting, finishing, and later adjustments.
- The System 32 compatible hole location aligns with common 32 mm cabinet drilling patterns, which streamlines line boring layouts and repetitive production runs.
- The non-handed design lets one slide model serve both left and right sides, which simplifies inventory and reduces time spent identifying side-specific parts during installation.
- The standard 25mm, or 1 inch, over-extension brings the drawer slightly past full extension, improving access to contents at the rear of the drawer in deeper cabinets.
Side Mount Installation And Alignment Advantages
The side mount design of this Fulterer drawer slide positions the slide along the cabinet sides, giving a straightforward reference surface during installation in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional casework. System 32 compatible hole location lets installers use standard 32 mm line boring for both cabinet and drawer members, which supports repeatable hole positioning in production runs. The easy to operate disconnect finger release trigger on the drawer profile helps separate the drawer member from the cabinet member, so drawers can be installed or removed after casework is set in place. The non-handed configuration allows the same slide to mount on either side, reducing layout changes between left and right drawers. Over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, moves the drawer slightly beyond full extension, improving access and helping align drawer fronts with surrounding millwork during final adjustments.
How These Fulterer Slides Perform In Use
Heavy-Duty Drawer Slides For Demanding Projects
These Fulterer 26 inch over travel soft-close ball bearing drawer slides are designed as precision ball bearing slides for heavy-duty use in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional applications, so they match the duty expectations of commercial and project work. The soft-close function helps control closing speed in workspaces, patient areas, and administrative zones where drawers see frequent operation. A hold-close detent keeps the drawer in the closed position at the end of travel, which supports alignment of fronts in casework runs and helps drawers stay shut during normal use. The side mount configuration fits common cabinet and furniture construction methods used in architectural millwork and institutional casework. System 32 compatible hole locations align with line-bored cabinet sides, so these slides integrate into production environments using 32 mm construction. Over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, allows drawers to travel slightly farther than full access, improving reach into deeper storage in workstations and storage units.
Details That Support Repeatable Installation Results
The non-handed drawer slide design means a single part number, 400116, can be installed on either the left or right side of the drawer, reducing sorting time and potential installation errors on large projects. The drawer profile features an easy to operate disconnect finger release trigger, so installers can separate drawer and cabinet members during case installation, finishing, and final fitting without extra tools. System 32 compatible hole locations support consistent positioning of slides relative to cabinet edges when using 32 mm boring equipment, helping drawers track square and parallel in multi-drawer banks. The precision ball bearing mechanism keeps movement consistent along the full travel, which aids in aligning drawer fronts with adjacent fronts because the slide behavior remains predictable over time. Over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, positions the drawer slightly beyond the cabinet face, supporting accurate adjustment of fronts and easier access to hardware or stored items during setup and service.
