The Fulterer 32 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is a 550 lb rated heavy-duty slide with integrated hold-in and hold-out detents, finished in zinc for lasting indoor performance. One slide fits either side of the drawer box, and the pair detents at both the open and closed positions so the drawer stays exactly where you put it.
A 550 lb drawer doesn't stay where you want it by accident. The hold-in detent keeps the closed drawer from vibrating or drifting open under load, which matters in a shop or garage where equipment runs nearby. The hold-out detent is the other half of the story: open the drawer and it locks in position, freeing both hands for the work inside. Neither detent is a positive mechanical lock — a deliberate push or pull releases each one — but together they eliminate the two most common frustrations with heavy drawers: unintended creep and the drawer that swings shut while you're working.
The 32 inch slide length suits deep tool chests, parts drawers, server cabinets, and industrial storage where a standard 22 or 24 inch kitchen slide won't reach the back of the box. At this load class, full extension isn't a luxury — it's the only way to safely manage a fully loaded drawer without pulling the whole cabinet forward.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty ball bearing slides in dry, indoor environments: it handles the corrosion exposure of a shop or mechanical room without the cost of stainless, and it doesn't add softness the way powder coat can at this load class. The zinc finish on this slide is functional, not decorative — it will show wear over time in a high-cycle environment, which is expected and appropriate for a slide rated to this capacity.
This slide is the right fit when three conditions converge: the drawer is genuinely heavy, the cabinet is deep, and hands-free operation at both positions matters. Tool shop drawers, production floor parts storage, equipment service carts, and heavy-duty workbench drawers are the applications this slide is built around. It is a standard-class finish for demanding indoor work — not for outdoor enclosures, marine environments, or wet areas where stainless or sealed slides are required. The non-handed design keeps installation straightforward and makes ordering simple: count drawers, order pairs.
Per pair. Both slides together carry 550 lb. That is the working number for sizing drawers at this load class.
Hold-in keeps the drawer closed until pulled — the detent prevents it from drifting or bouncing open. Hold-out keeps the drawer at the fully open position until pushed closed. This slide has both, so it detents in each position.
3/4 inch per side, so build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening. This is wider than the 1/2 inch clearance on standard 100 lb cabinet slides — account for it when sizing the box.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your cabinet construction — brackets are not included and are series-specific.
No. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer closed but does not slow or dampen it — there is no damper in this slide. It is a mechanical catch, not a soft-close mechanism.
When the load is real and reliable positioning matters at both ends of travel, the Fulterer 32 inch hold-in/hold-out slide in zinc delivers the capacity and the control to keep the job moving.
