The Fulterer 5368 is a 24 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 550 lb per pair, built for drawers that carry real industrial or shop loads and need to stay exactly where they are put — open or closed.
At 550 lb per pair, the 5368 is not a kitchen cabinet slide — it belongs on equipment where a loaded drawer must stay put. Shop benches carrying heavy tooling, service carts with loaded drawers, industrial storage units, and commercial casework all fit the profile. The hold-in detent means a drawer pushed shut will not bounce or drift back open under vibration or incline; the hold-out detent means the drawer stays extended hands-free while work is being done inside it. Both detents release with normal, deliberate force — there is no spring pull and no damping. This is a standard-motion slide with mechanical position control at each end of travel.
The members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc at this duty class is a functional, wear-resistant finish suited to indoor and sheltered industrial environments; it is not a decorative finish and not rated for wet or corrosive exposure. The ball bearings run in full-length raceways machined into the steel members, delivering smooth, even travel under the full rated load through repeated cycles.
The 3/4 inch side clearance requirement is wider than the 1/2 inch standard common on lighter cabinet slides, so verify drawer box width before building. The drawer box must be sized 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 3/4 inch on each side. This is a non-handed pair — order one set per drawer. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting support is needed at the back of the slide; confirm compatible rear brackets for this series before ordering, as brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
It is a mechanical detent, not a keyed or lever lock. Both the hold-in and hold-out positions release with firm, deliberate hand force — no tools required. A detent holds the drawer in position against drift and vibration; it does not prevent intentional opening.
No. This is a standard-motion slide. There is no damper and no spring. The drawer travels freely on ball bearings and stops wherever it is left, except at the two detent positions — fully closed and fully open.
The heavier steel profile required for 550 lb loads is physically wider than a standard cabinet slide, so the side clearance requirement increases to 3/4 inch per side. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening total.
The 550 lb rating is per pair — both slides together carrying a single drawer. That is the working capacity for the installation.
No. The 5368 is non-handed — both slides in a pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
When the drawer carries serious weight and needs to stay where it is placed — open or closed — the 5368 delivers the capacity, the position control, and the full-extension access to make it work.
