Fulterer 40" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 5017

40 Inch Heavy Duty Drawer Slides For Deep Drawers

40 inch heavy duty drawer slides from Fulterer use a ball bearing side mount design, so the drawer runs on steel bearings along the cabinet side for smooth motion under substantial loads. The drawer profile uses a disconnect release trigger, which lets the installer separate drawer and cabinet members quickly when fitting or removing a drawer during shop work or service. A symmetrical design means the left and right slides are identical, which simplifies layout because either slide can be used on either side of the drawer. These slides provide standard over extension of 25 mm, so the drawer moves beyond full extension by 0.98 in. and exposes more of the drawer interior for easier access to stored items and hardware at the back. The hold close detent helps keep the drawer in the closed position once pushed shut, which supports tidy, consistent alignment along cabinet fronts.

Key Fulterer 5017 Drawer Slide Working Advantages

• The side mount ball bearing construction supports smooth drawer travel along the cabinet side, which is well suited for utility, workshop, or storage drawers that see frequent use.
• The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger speeds installation and removal of drawers, which helps during fitting, finishing, or later adjustment work on site or in the shop.
• The symmetrical design means each slide works on either side of the drawer, which reduces layout confusion and helps maintain consistent installations on multiple cabinets.
• The standard over extension of 25 mm increases access to the rear of the drawer, which is useful when the drawer is loaded and visibility into the back area is limited.
• The hold close detent feature helps the drawer stay closed once pushed to the end of travel, which supports cleaner front alignment and reduces unintended opening in day-to-day use.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Motion Details

The Fulterer USA, Inc. 5017 slide is built as a side mount, ball bearing slide, so the cabinet design must provide room along both drawer sides for the slide members and bearing movement. The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger allows the drawer member to separate from the cabinet member, which makes it easier to set slide position on the cabinet and drawer independently before reconnecting. With standard over extension of 25 mm, the slide carries the drawer slightly past the cabinet front, which improves reach into the back of deep drawers without changing the cabinet opening size. The hold close detent provides resistance near the fully closed position, so drawers tend to remain shut once seated, maintaining front alignment across a run of cabinets.

Using Fulterer 40 Inch Over Travel Slides In Work

Where These Side Mount Slides Are Typically Applied

This Fulterer 40 inch over travel standard ball bearing drawer slide serves applications where a long drawer needs extended access beyond the cabinet face. The slide range from 304.8 mm to 711.2 mm means the 5017 system is designed for drawer lengths from 12 in. through 28 in., supporting projects with varied drawer depths within the same product family. As a side mount drawer slide, it fits cabinet and casework construction that uses clearances along the drawer sides rather than under the drawer box, which aligns with many shop-built storage units and utility cabinets. The symmetrical, unhanded design supports repetitive use in banked drawer runs because the same part functions on both sides of each drawer, helping maintain consistent motion and feel across a full installation.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Installation Results

The drawer profile with disconnect release trigger helps sequence installation efficiently by letting the installer mount the cabinet member and drawer member separately, then reconnect once alignment is dialed in. This separation also simplifies future service because drawers can be removed and reinstalled without disturbing the cabinet member fastenings. The standard over extension of 25 mm gives nearly one extra inch of travel beyond full extension, which helps bring hardware or stored items at the rear of the drawer into easier reach in tall or deep cabinets. The hold close detent contributes to repeatable front alignment by drawing the drawer into a consistent endpoint, which helps rows of drawers line up visually along a face frame or frameless front. The side mount ball bearing construction supports smooth travel throughout this motion, helping drawers open fully and close to the detent point with a consistent feel.
