This Fulterer 75816 is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 220 lb per pair, finished in zinc, with a combined hold-in/hold-out detent that locks the drawer in both the closed and open positions until deliberately moved.
A slide that simply rolls freely is the wrong choice for a loaded work drawer — it drifts open when not latched and bounces back when slammed. The hold-in detent on this slide stops the rebound: push the drawer shut and it stays there. The hold-out detent handles the other end of travel: pull the drawer open and it stays open, freeing both hands for work at the bench or in the cabinet. Together, the two detents make this slide well suited to shop tool storage, heavy utility drawers, and pull-out work surfaces where the drawer needs to stay exactly where it is left.
Steel members carry the load through formed steel ball-bearing raceways for smooth, consistent travel even when the drawer is at capacity. The zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion protection — it is a functional, work-oriented surface, not a decorative one, and it holds up through daily commercial or shop use. At 3/4 inch clearance per side, the slide requires a drawer box built 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening; this is wider than the 1/2 inch clearance common in standard cabinet-class slides, so confirm the box width before cutting.
The 220 lb rating puts this slide in a different class from typical kitchen cabinet hardware. It suits shops and commercial environments where drawer contents — tooling, hardware, supplies, or archive materials — routinely load the box near or at capacity. The full extension means nothing stays hidden at the back, which matters when the drawer holds parts that need to be found quickly. Cabinet makers, shop owners, and commercial installers specifying drawers for demanding duty cycles will find the hold-in/hold-out behavior a practical upgrade over a plain free-rolling slide. The zinc finish blends into frameless and face-frame interiors alike without competing visually with the cabinet front.
The rating is per pair, which is the standard basis for drawer slide load ratings in this segment. Do not double the number by counting each slide separately.
No. Both detents are mechanical catches that release with a normal pull or push — there is no key lock or lever release. The drawer stays put but is not secured against intentional movement.
No. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer from bouncing back open, but there is no damper. The drawer does not slow down near closed — it closes at whatever speed it is pushed.
Side-mount ball bearing slides need rear support in face-frame cabinets. Add the appropriate series rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to carry the back end of the slide. The front slotted hole on some face-frame-specific models is not a feature of this slide; confirm your mounting solution before installation.
No. The slide is non-handed — both pieces in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
When the drawer needs to stay closed on its own and stay open on its own, the Fulterer 75816 delivers both in a full-extension, 220 lb rated zinc slide that installs without sorting left from right.
