Fulterer 60" Full Extension Hold-In/Hold-Out Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 5386
Description
Fulterer 60 Inch Drawer Slides For Long Drawers
Fulterer 60 inch drawer slides with full extension let a 60 inch drawer travel its full length, so installers can pull the drawer completely out of the cabinet opening and access stored items along the entire slide stroke. The side mount design places the Fulterer USA, Inc. slides directly on the case sides, giving a clear, predictable mounting surface that suits typical shop and jobsite cabinet construction. Ball bearing action in these side mount, ball bearing slides supports smooth linear motion, which helps drawers track cleanly along the run even when the slide is loaded and fully extended. The hold-in and hold-out mechanism keeps the drawer positively held in the closed position or at the extended position, which stabilizes the drawer during use and limits unintended movement during loading, unloading, or operation along the 60 inch travel.
Key Locking Slide Details That Support Daily Use
- The lock-in and lock-out mechanism secures the slide when closed and when extended, which keeps a 60 inch drawer from drifting during work and helps maintain a consistent position when the slide is fully out.
- The slides are non-detachable, so the drawer member stays engaged with the cabinet member throughout travel, which keeps the slide sections together during installation, adjustment, and service work.
- The side mount configuration matches the Side Mount Drawer Slides product class, giving installers a familiar layout for setting reveals and clearances along the cabinet sides.
- The ball bearing construction listed in the category description supports smooth movement under load, which helps drawers open and close with less effort over the full extension distance.
- The 60 inch length described in the SAP information suits applications needing very long drawers, allowing storage to extend deep into a cabinet while still being reachable at full extension.
Mounting And Extension Behavior For Fulterer 5386
The 60 inch full extension design on the Fulterer 5386 drawer slides allows the drawer to move from fully closed to fully extended so the back of the drawer clears the cabinet face, making the entire drawer box depth accessible. These slides are applicable for flat-mount installation with a reduced load capacity, so they can be oriented flat when the application calls for it, while the load expectation adjusts accordingly. The unhanded side mount layout means the same slide model can be used on either side of the drawer, simplifying layout and ordering on projects that rely on a standard side mount, ball bearing slide pattern.
Using Heavy Duty Locking Slides In Real Projects
Where Fulterer 60 Inch Drawer Slides Are Applied
The SAP description "60' HEAVY DUTY LOCKING SLIDES" points to a 60 inch heavy duty application where a locking function is needed at both closed and extended positions, fitting drawers that must stay put while loaded or accessed. The web description notes that the lock-in and lock-out mechanism works through a locking lever, so the user can actively engage or release the lock when positioning the drawer, which helps control drawer placement at long extensions. The notation that the slides are non-detachable indicates the drawer member is retained in the slide assembly, which suits installations where the slide and drawer need to remain connected across the full travel length.
Locking Lever Function And Slide Selection Details
The product data explains that the system is not symmetrical because of the function of the locking lever, meaning the lever side determines how the lock operates on each slide, which affects how an installer or user interacts with the drawer when locking or unlocking. The reference to FR 5400SL variants in the description distinguishes left and right locking behavior: FR 5400SL uses left and right locking, FR 5400SL-L provides left side locking, and FR 5400SL-R provides right side locking, so the locking side can be chosen to match the cabinet layout and user access. The note that these 5386 slides are applicable for flat-mount installation with reduced load capacity provides flexibility for mounting orientation while acknowledging load behavior, so installers can plan slide orientation to align with project demands. Together, the lock-in and lock-out action, non-detachable construction, and side mount ball bearing design support repeatable motion and positioning wherever a 60 inch drawer must extend fully and then stay in place.
