This is a 20 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 OT series, rated 100 lb per pair, zinc finished, with standard motion and the extra travel needed to push the drawer clear of countertop overhangs and deep face frames.
Most full-extension slides bring a drawer out to the cabinet face — and stop there. An over-travel slide goes further. When a countertop overhangs the cabinet box, or a deep face frame sits proud of the interior, that extra travel is the gap between easy access and digging blind into the back of the drawer. The FR 5000 OT is built for those situations: the drawer member travels past the nominal 20 inch slide length so contents at the rear are fully in view. Workshop benches with overhanging tops, kitchen base cabinets under thick stone counters, and utility cabinets behind deep trim are all natural fits.
The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc, the segment's standard for indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc plating protects the steel members through years of daily cycling in a dry interior environment — kitchens, offices, and shops all qualify. It is a working finish, mostly hidden beside the open drawer box, and it holds up without maintenance. This is not a decorative or stainless finish; for wet, washdown, or exterior applications, a different material class is required.
The FR 5000 OT suits cabinet shops and contractors specifying standard-class drawers in situations where a plain full-extension slide would leave the drawer short of clear. At 100 lb per pair and 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, it fits the same opening and drawer-box formula as any standard-class side-mount slide in this series — the over-travel is the only spec that changes the layout calculation. Because the slide is standard motion, it is also a clean host for an add-on push-to-open mechanism where a handle-less front is planned, since there is no closing feature to work against. Homeowners doing a single vanity or utility cabinet and cabinet shops running drawer boxes in volume will both find the non-handed design straightforward to work with.
The FR 5000 OT series carries the drawer member past the slide's nominal length to clear overhangs; the exact over-travel distance is not stated in the current product data. If the precise travel figure is critical to your layout, confirm with the manufacturer's specification sheet before building the drawer box.
No — 20 inches is the closed length of the slide. The drawer actually travels the full slide length plus the over-travel increment. Slide length and drawer travel are separate specs.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with no hold-out detent. The drawer stays wherever it is left by gravity and friction, but there is no mechanical catch to hold it open hands-free.
Side-mount slides need support at the rear of the cabinet in face-frame construction. Rear mounting brackets are typically required for face-frame installs; they are series-specific and sold separately. Frameless cabinets mount the slide directly to the interior panel.
Confirm the sold-as unit on the product page before ordering. Most slides in this series are sold as pairs, but verify quantity so you receive what each drawer requires.
When the drawer box needs to come all the way out — past the counter, past the frame — the FR 5000 OT delivers that extra reach at the standard 100 lb, 1/2 inch clearance spec, without adding a closing mechanism that would complicate a handle-less or open-motion install.
