This is an 18 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 OT series, rated 100 lb per pair in a bright zinc finish. Over-travel action carries the drawer past full extension so the entire drawer box clears countertop overhangs, deep face frames, and similar obstructions that would otherwise block access to the back of the drawer.
An 18 inch full-extension slide brings the drawer out to the cabinet face. An over-travel slide goes further. When a countertop overhangs the cabinet, or a thick face frame sits proud of the interior, a standard full-extension drawer stops short of fully clearing the opening. The FR 5000 OT travels past that point, so the rear of the drawer comes completely into reach. That extra clearance matters most in kitchen base cabinets with deep stone tops, peninsula cabinets with overhanging surfaces, and shop or workbench drawers built under a broad top.
The slide is a standard-motion design with no detent, spring, or damper. This is a deliberate fit for handle-less fronts with mechanical push-to-open hardware, where a spring-based closing feature would work against the opening mechanism.
The FR 5000 OT is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish — the workhorse combination for side-mount ball bearing slides in interior cabinetry. Zinc protects the steel through the typical temperature and humidity swings of a kitchen or shop without adding bulk or changing the slide's profile. The finish is functional rather than decorative: the slide sits beside the drawer box and stays largely out of sight when the drawer is open. For a matte dark finish in the same series, a black-finished variant is available.
The FR 5000 OT in zinc suits cabinet shops and contractors fitting kitchen base cabinets under thick stone or quartz countertops, designers specifying handle-less drawer fronts where standard full-extension travel falls short, and homeowners replacing slides on peninsula or island drawers where the overhang cuts into clearance. The 100 lb per pair rating covers standard kitchen, bath, and utility drawer loads. The non-handed format simplifies ordering: one SKU covers every drawer position in the cabinet run.
A full-extension slide brings the drawer out to approximately the slide's nominal length — the back of the drawer reaches the cabinet face. An over-travel slide goes past that point, so the drawer actually clears the face of the cabinet. That extra travel is what lets the drawer clear a countertop overhang.
Yes, but face-frame installation requires rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the frame. Rear brackets for this series are sold separately; confirm bracket compatibility with the FR 5000 OT before ordering.
Standard motion means no closing mechanism at all — the drawer stays at rest wherever it is left. That is the correct choice for push-to-open (handle-less front) applications. If you want the drawer to stay closed on its own, look at the hold-in anti-rebound version in the FR 5000 family. For damped, quiet closing, Fulterer offers the FR 5001 soft-close variant in the same clearance format.
The FR 5000 OT requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
No. The slide is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count.
When full extension is not quite enough — because the countertop, the face frame, or the cabinet layout cuts into usable travel — the FR 5000 OT in zinc closes that gap and puts the full drawer within reach every time.
