Fulterer 60" Full Extension Hold-In/Hold-Out Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 5386

Zinc Finish and 550 lb Capacity Built for Industrial-Scale Drawers

The Fulterer 5386 is a 60 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 550 lb per pair, with integrated hold-in and hold-out detents that keep the drawer locked in both the closed and fully open positions. Built for shop, industrial, and heavy-storage applications where ordinary cabinet slides fall well short of the load requirement.

Key Features

• 550 lb load capacity per pair — a heavy-duty rating that handles large tool drawers, equipment trays, and loaded industrial carts.
• Full extension — the entire 60 inch drawer travels clear of the cabinet opening so the back of the box is fully reachable.
• Hold-in detent — a mechanical catch keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from rebounding open after a firm push.
• Hold-out detent — the slide locks the drawer at full open so both hands stay free at the work surface.
• Non-handed design — identical slides fit left and right, simplifying layout and reducing ordering errors on multi-drawer builds.
• Zinc finish over steel — standard indoor corrosion protection, matched to the working aesthetic of shop and industrial cabinetry.

Where a 60 Inch Slide at 550 lb Earns Its Place

This slide exists for drawer applications that simply outgrow the standard cabinet class. A 60 inch full-extension slide is at home beneath a machinist's bench, inside a heavy-duty tool chest, in a fabrication shop's parts storage, or in industrial racking where drawers carry dense, heavy contents. At 550 lb per pair, the slide handles loaded drawers that would buckle a 100 lb kitchen slide in short order. The hold-out detent adds practical value in any situation where the drawer needs to stay open hands-free — loading parts, retrieving tools with both hands occupied, or staging components during assembly.

Steel Construction With a Zinc Working Finish

The slide members are cold-formed steel, and the zinc finish delivers reliable indoor corrosion resistance without the cost or complexity of a specialty coating. Zinc is the functional standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in this class. It is not a decorative finish — it is a working surface that holds up through repeated cycles in demanding environments. The 3/4 inch side clearance per side is wider than the 1/2 inch clearance of standard cabinet slides, which is a normal dimension for this load class; size the drawer box accordingly.

Specifying the Right Fit

The 5386 suits professional and industrial buyers who need genuine heavy-duty performance: cabinet shops building commercial millwork, contractors fitting out service vehicles with heavy-duty storage, and facilities teams specifying industrial workbench drawers. The 60 inch nominal length suits deep drawer applications; confirm the cabinet's interior depth before ordering. These slides are non-handed, so one part number covers both sides of the drawer. There is no soft-close or self-close mechanism on this slide — the hold-in and hold-out detents manage the closed and open positions, and the drawer otherwise rides the bearings freely.

The Right Slide When the Load Is Serious

At 60 inches and 550 lb per pair, with detents that hold in both directions, the Fulterer 5386 is the slide to reach for when the job outgrows everything in the standard cabinet aisle.
