Fulterer 38 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Fulterer 38 inch over travel drawer slides provide a side mount ball bearing solution that supports long drawers where extra extension is useful, so installers can access stored items along the full drawer length without leaving stock trapped in the back. The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger lets you separate the drawer member from the cabinet member, which speeds up fitting, adjustment, and finishing work because you can handle the drawer outside the cabinet. A symmetrical design means the slides are unhanded side mount zinc units, so the same profile works on either side of the drawer, simplifying layout and reducing part sorting on site. The hold close detent keeps the drawer profile pulled into its closed position, which helps drawers stay shut in everyday cabinet use and reduces unintended opening from minor movement. As part of the Fulterer USA, Inc. 5016 series, these slides match projects that call for heavy duty slides in this product class.

Key Fulterer 5016 Slide Details For Projects

• The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger lets the installer remove the drawer smoothly, which streamlines mounting, edge work, and adjustments when working in tight cabinet interiors.
• The symmetrical design creates unhanded side mount zinc slides, which means the same slide profile serves left or right use, simplifying ordering and installation steps on the job.
• The hold close detent keeps the drawer profile seated in the closed position, which supports clean cabinet reveals and helps drawers stay shut until they are intentionally opened.
• The 38 inch length fits applications needing long drawer travel, which is useful in cabinets where deeper storage must be accessed without leaving items stuck at the rear of the drawer box.
• The standard over extension of 25 mm (0.98 in.) projects the drawer slightly beyond full extension, which improves reach to the back of the drawer for easier loading and unloading.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Extension Use

These Fulterer side mount ball bearing slides are designed as a drawer profile with disconnect release trigger, so installers mount the cabinet member, attach the drawer member to the box, then use the trigger to engage or remove the drawer for fit checks and adjustments. The symmetrical design makes each 5016 slide suitable for either side of the drawer, so planning the side mount layout takes less time and avoids left and right part matching. With a 38 inch length combined with a standard over extension of 25 mm (0.98 in.), the slides support drawers where the user needs access beyond standard full extension, which is particularly helpful when placing or reaching items near the back of long storage drawers.

Using Fulterer 5016 Slides In Real Projects

Where These Side Mount Slides Are Applied

As a side mount drawer slide in the Side Mount Drawer Slides product class, the Fulterer 5016 works in cabinet and casework situations that call for a 38 inch drawer travel path. The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger lets the installer set the drawer box on the slides, test motion, then release it to continue working on the cabinetry without wrestling a fully installed drawer. Because the design is symmetrical, the same Fulterer drawer profile 5016 component serves both sides, which fits workflows on jobs where multiple drawers need identical slide placement. The hold close detent on the drawer profile helps maintain consistent closed alignment across a run of drawers, which supports even reveals and helps the finished work present a tidy face.

Why These Design Details Support Consistent Results

The standard over extension of 25 mm (0.98 in.) means the drawer moves slightly beyond the nominal full extension point, giving clearer access to the back of the drawer, which reduces fumbling for parts or tools stored deep in long drawers. The unhanded side mount zinc construction allows Fulterer 5016 heavy duty slides to be installed on either side without orientation changes, which reduces the chance of installing a slide on the wrong side during repetitive work. The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger supports a staged installation process, so drawers can be pulled off for edging, front fitting, or hardware work, then reinstalled on the same slide position. The hold close detent adds resistance at the end of travel in the closed position, which helps drawers stay parked and protects against accidental partial opening that could interfere with doors or adjacent drawers in everyday use.
