This is a 38 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 225 lb per pair with a hold-in detent and a zinc finish — built for deep, heavy drawers in shop, industrial, and commercial casework where the drawer needs to clear a counter overhang or deep face frame.
A 38 inch slide is long — it belongs in deep cabinets: shop workbenches, tool storage, commercial service counters, and industrial casework where drawers run the full depth of the cabinet. The over-travel action is the detail that makes it practical under a worktop overhang. At full open, the drawer does not stop at the cabinet face; it travels past it, bringing the back of a deep drawer into reach without leaning over the counter. The hold-in detent adds a practical benefit in active work environments: a loaded drawer pushed shut stays shut and does not drift or rebound open when the bench vibrates or someone leans against it.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish — the standard corrosion-resistant finish for heavy-duty indoor slide hardware. Zinc protects the steel members through the kind of daily mechanical use a shop or service environment demands. This is a functional working finish, not a decorative one, and it suits any indoor application where the slide sits beside the drawer box rather than on display. Note that at this duty class the slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side — slightly more than the 1/2 inch standard on lighter cabinet slides — so size the drawer box accordingly.
Choose this slide when two conditions are both present: the load is beyond what a standard 100 lb cabinet slide handles, and the cabinet depth or counter overhang means full extension alone is not enough. The 225 lb per pair rating puts it squarely in heavy-duty territory for shop drawers, hospitality equipment, server furniture, and utility casework. This is a standard-motion slide with a hold-in detent — there is no soft-close damper and no spring assist. The drawer rides the bearings and stays wherever it is left, with the detent keeping it from working open on its own.
Past full extension — the drawer member travels beyond the 38 inch nominal slide length so the drawer clears counter overhangs and deep face frames. The exact over-travel distance is not stated in the source data; measure your overhang before finalizing the installation.
No. The hold-in detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open — there is no damper and no spring. The drawer does not pull itself shut; it stays wherever you push it.
This slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side — more than the 1/2 inch standard on lighter ball-bearing slides. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to give each slide its required clearance.
No. The slide is non-handed; both pieces in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide. Add compatible rear mounting brackets for face-frame installations; brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
When the drawer is deep, the load is real, and the cabinet has an overhang to clear, the Fulterer 38 inch over-travel slide handles all three without compromise — 225 lb capacity, over-travel reach, and a hold-in detent that keeps the drawer where you put it.
