This Fulterer 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide in Black delivers smooth, controlled travel with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer firmly shut until pulled. Rated 100 lb per pair, it suits kitchen, utility, shop, and office drawers where the black finish coordinates with dark cabinet interiors or exposed hardware schemes.
Dark cabinetry — black-painted face frames, charcoal melamine boxes, or ebonized plywood — calls for hardware that disappears into the interior rather than catching the eye. The black finish on this slide sits quietly beside the drawer box when opened, maintaining the design intent of the cabinet. That matters in modern handleless kitchens, media consoles, and work-studio builds where every visible hardware element contributes to the overall look.
The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a practical layer: once the drawer is pushed shut, a mechanical catch holds it in place. The drawer will not drift open from vibration or rebound open after a hard close. This is not soft-close — there is no damper and no spring assist — but the detent gives a definite, positive close that reads as quality in a well-built cabinet.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a black finish over zinc, protecting the members through years of indoor service. Black-finished side-mount slides are a functional finish choice, not a decorative one — the coating is built to handle repeated cycles without chipping at the pivot and contact points. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is standard for this segment; build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
Cabinet shops finishing interiors in black or near-black tones reach for this slide to keep the hardware palette consistent. Designers specifying modern, handle-less, or industrial-style kitchens use it to avoid the flash of silver hardware beside a dark drawer box. Contractors sourcing for an install appreciate the non-handed design — one SKU covers every drawer in the run, left or right side. The 100 lb per pair rating covers standard residential and light commercial drawer loads without stepping up to a heavier-duty class.
In face-frame cabinet installations, the slide needs rear support at the back of the cabinet. Add the matching Fulterer rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to carry the slide's back end in face-frame construction.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open — there is no damper and no spring assist. Soft-close uses a damper to slow and settle the drawer over the last inch of travel. This slide does not have soft-close.
Eighteen inches is the closed length of the slide, not the travel distance. Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the slide's nominal length, bringing the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face. Slide length and travel distance are two separate specs.
No. The slide is non-handed — both pieces in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order one pair per drawer.
Fulterer's black finish is consistent across the FR 5000 family, so slides from this line coordinate with other Fulterer black-finished components. Confirm with a test piece if your project demands a precise color match to hardware from other brands.
Face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the front frame, so the slide needs rear support. Add the matching Fulterer rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to hold the back end of the slide in place. Rear brackets are series-specific and must come from the Fulterer line.
The black finish keeps the hardware cohesive in dark cabinet builds, the hold-in detent gives every drawer a positive, controlled close, and the full-extension travel puts the whole drawer within reach — a practical combination for shops and installers finishing projects where the details matter.
