Fulterer 12 Over Travel Drawer Slides For Cabinets

Fulterer 12 over travel drawer slides use a ball bearing design to support smooth drawer movement, which matters when drawers are opened and closed repeatedly on the job. The side mount layout positions the slides along the cabinet sides, which gives installers a familiar, straightforward mounting surface on standard casework. An over travel action extends the drawer beyond the cabinet front, improving access to items stored at the back of the drawer. The unhanded design means each slide can be used on either side, which helps simplify layout and reduces orientation errors. A hold-in, anti-rebound function helps the drawer stay in the closed position, which is useful where vibration or frequent contact could otherwise nudge a drawer open. The zinc finish provides a clean, uniform appearance on exposed hardware areas, aligning with typical cabinet and casework interiors. The Fulterer USA, Inc. 75042 part number identifies this specific configuration for repeat ordering.

Key Functional Details That Support Daily Use

• The side mount configuration sets the slide on the cabinet sides, which gives carpenters and installers a predictable reference surface for aligning the drawer box and maintaining consistent reveals across multiple openings.
• The ball bearing mechanism supports smooth travel along the slide members, which reduces effort when opening or closing drawers that are used many times a day in typical woodworking and cabinet applications.
• The over travel motion carries the drawer farther out past the cabinet front, which increases access to the rear of the drawer and helps reduce reaching when loading or unloading stored items.
• The unhanded slide design allows either member to work on the left or right side, which streamlines installation and helps avoid stocking separate left and right parts in the shop.
• The hold close detent feature creates a defined closed position at the end of travel, which helps the drawer remain shut under normal conditions and supports a cleaner finished appearance on face lines.
• The zinc finish on the slide components delivers a consistent metallic surface, which coordinates with common cabinet interiors and presents a professional look when the drawer is opened.

Side Mount Installation And Hole Pitch Details

This side mount drawer slide uses pitch 32 mm (1.26 in.) compatible hole locations, which aligns with the 32 mm system often applied in cabinet case construction. That regular spacing on the cabinet member supports repeatable mounting across rows of drawers. The drawer profile incorporates a disconnect release trigger, which allows the drawer member to disengage from the cabinet member during fitting or removal. That feature helps during installation, because the installer can mount the cabinet and drawer members separately, then reconnect after squaring the drawer box. The symmetrical slide design supports consistent measurements from either side, which is useful when building pairs or banks of drawers with shared dimensions. Together, these details support a precise workflow on cabinetry that follows system drilling patterns.

Using Fulterer 75042 Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where This 12 Inch Side Mount Slide Fits

This Fulterer USA, Inc. 12 inch side mount drawer slide fits into side-mounted drawer applications where a 12 inch slide length matches the intended drawer depth. The product sits within the Side Mount Drawer Slides class, which positions it for use on cabinets and casework that accept side-mounted hardware. Because the slide is unhanded, it can be applied to both left and right sides using the same part, which is convenient in production runs and service work. The pitch 32 mm (1.26 in.) compatible hole locations allow the slide to interface with cabinet sides drilled on that spacing, which is common in system-built cabinetry following the 32 mm method. The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger supports drawer boxes that may need to be removed for adjustments, front changes, or shop finishing.

Why These Over Travel Features Matter In Use

The over travel action on this 75042 slide moves the drawer beyond the cabinet front, which improves visibility and reach to items stored at the rear, especially in deeper drawers relative to a 12 inch slide. That extra extension can reduce time spent shifting contents just to reach the back. The ball bearing layout provides controlled motion along the entire travel range, which helps drawers start smoothly and return consistently to the hold close detent at the end of stroke. The hold-in, anti-rebound function supports the drawer staying seated against the closed position, which is useful in environments where repeated use could otherwise nudge fronts slightly open. The symmetrical design simplifies measurement and installation from either side, which supports consistent results when repeating the same layout across multiple cabinet bays. Together, these verified elements help this over travel hold-in ball bearing drawer slide contribute to predictable drawer action and alignment on finished projects.
