This Fulterer 18 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing drawer slide delivers smooth, full-length travel that carries the drawer 1-1/2 inches past full extension, combined with a hold-in anti-rebound detent and a bright zinc finish built for years of indoor service. Rated 100 lb per pair, it is a direct answer for drawers that need to clear countertop overhangs or deep face frames.
Standard full-extension slides stop at the cabinet face. This over-travel slide continues 1-1/2 inches beyond that point. Under a countertop overhang, behind a thick face frame, or in a peninsula cabinet where the drawer faces into a walkway, those extra inches mean the difference between having to reach blindly into the drawer and seeing everything in it. Workshop benches with tool drawers mounted below a heavy top overhang are another natural fit, as are utility rooms where base cabinets sit under a counter that projects past the cabinet face.
Zinc plating over cold-formed steel is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides. The bright zinc on this Fulterer slide protects the steel members through repeated daily cycles in a dry indoor environment. It is a functional finish, not a decorative one, and it sits beside the open drawer rather than on display. The zinc tone is neutral enough to work without distraction alongside both painted and natural wood cabinet interiors. This is an indoor slide; it is not rated for damp utility rooms, garages with temperature swings, or any wet environment.
The 18 inch slide length suits drawers built to match standard 18 inch nominal depth. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side means the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In a frameless cabinet the slides mount directly to the side panel. In a face-frame cabinet the back end of each slide needs rear support; add the matching series rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to bridge the setback. With a 100 lb per pair rating this slide is at home in kitchen base drawers, home office utility drawers, and light-duty shop storage — not file drawers or drawers loaded with heavy tooling, which call for the 150 lb class.
The drawer box is still sized to the 18 inch nominal slide length — over-travel is in the slide mechanism, not in how you build the box. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side applies as normal.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the closed drawer from rebounding open. It does not pull the drawer shut and it does not slow or damp the closing motion. This is a standard-motion slide with a stay-closed detent, not a soft-close slide.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both slides in a pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
The slide is 18 inches long when closed. Over-travel carries the drawer member past full extension, so the total travel exceeds 18 inches. The over-travel distance is 1-1/2 inches beyond full extension based on the Fulterer FR 5000 OT series specification.
Order one unit per drawer; confirm the sold-as quantity at checkout, as Fulterer slides in this segment are typically sold per pair.
When the cabinet layout puts the drawer under an overhang or behind a deep frame, the Fulterer 18 inch over-travel slide with zinc finish gives the extra reach and the stay-closed reliability to make that drawer work every day without complaint.
