This is a 28 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 220 lb per pair, with a combined hold-in/hold-out detent that keeps the drawer locked in the closed position and holds it fully open until intentionally moved. The zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion protection on cold-formed steel members.
A standard ball bearing slide leaves the drawer wherever it stops. The hold-in/hold-out design on this Fulterer slide does two distinct jobs: it holds the drawer firmly closed so it does not drift or bounce back open after a firm push, and it holds the drawer at full open so both hands stay free while working. That combination suits shop benches, utility cabinets, garage storage, and any drawer that needs to stay put in both positions without a positive lock. The release in each direction is a deliberate pull or push — not a lever, not a key — so the drawer remains accessible and fast to use.
The slide is built from cold-formed steel members with a zinc finish. Zinc electroplating is the industry standard for ball bearing slides used in dry indoor environments — it resists the routine handling and humidity of a shop or kitchen without the cost of a specialty coating. At 28 inches, this is a longer-than-average side-mount slide; the steel construction and 220 lb rating reflect a heavier-built design than a standard cabinet-class 100 lb slide. This is a standard-motion slide in the sense that there is no soft-close damper and no self-close spring — the detent holds the drawer in position, but closing and opening are direct and manual.
The 28 inch length and 220 lb rating make this slide the right choice when the drawer is long, heavy, or both. It fits shop benches and tool storage drawers that carry real weight and need the hold-out detent to keep the drawer open during use. It also works in utility and garage cabinets where a loaded drawer should not creep open on its own. This is not the slide for residential kitchen cabinetry where soft-close is expected — it is for work environments where the detent and the load capacity matter more than quiet closing. The 3/4 inch side clearance is a critical dimension: size the drawer box so each side has a full 3/4 inch of clearance from the cabinet interior, or the slide will not install correctly.
No. The hold-in/hold-out detent keeps the drawer closed and holds it open, but there is no damper and no spring. Closing and opening are direct and manual.
Hold-in means a mechanical detent keeps the drawer firmly closed until you pull it open. Hold-out means a second detent holds the drawer at full open until you push it closed. This slide does both.
Yes. Most side-mount ball bearing slides need 1/2 inch of clearance per side. This Fulterer slide requires 3/4 inch per side, so the drawer box must be built 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening rather than the usual 1 inch.
No. The slide is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical, so you order by quantity, not by side.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support at the back of the slide. Series-specific rear mounting brackets are the standard solution; confirm the matching bracket for this Fulterer series before installing in face-frame construction.
When the drawer is 28 inches deep, loaded with tools or parts, and needs to stay closed on its own and stay open when you need both hands free, this Fulterer slide handles all of it at a 220 lb rating — without a soft-close mechanism getting in the way of a hard-working drawer.
