This Fulterer 38 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is rated 220 lb per pair and comes in a protective zinc finish, with a combined hold-in/hold-out detent that keeps the drawer exactly where you put it — closed or fully open — until you decide otherwise.
Most drawers either drift open on a sloped floor or swing back on a spring. This slide does neither. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer from bouncing back or creeping open after it is closed; the hold-out detent locks it in the fully open position so both hands are free while you work. That combination is particularly useful in shop environments — a loaded tool drawer that stays open at the bench, then stays shut in transit or when the shop is unattended. The detent in each position releases with a normal push or pull; there is no lever and no lock, just enough mechanical resistance to hold the drawer against casual movement.
The slide is cold-formed steel throughout, running steel ball bearings in full-length raceways for consistent travel under a 220 lb load. At 38 inches, this is a long slide built for deep drawers — the steel construction keeps the members aligned over that span without flex. The zinc finish is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor environments: electroplated over steel, it resists the incidental moisture and handling that come with shop or utility use. This is not a decorative finish; it is a functional one that keeps the steel doing its job over a long service life.
A 38 inch slide suits deep cabinets — shop benches, base cabinets in a professional workspace, heavy storage units, and utility installations where a shorter slide would leave dead space behind the drawer. The 220 lb rating covers drawers loaded with tools, hardware, or other dense contents that would stress a standard kitchen-class slide. Because the side clearance is 3/4 inch per side rather than the more common 1/2 inch, build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening. The non-handed design means one part number covers both sides of the drawer — order pairs to match your drawer count.
No. Soft-close uses a damper to slow the drawer to a quiet, controlled close. This slide uses a mechanical detent: it holds the drawer in place at the closed or open position, but there is no damping and no spring. The drawer does not close itself and does not slow on its own.
This slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side — wider than the 1/2 inch standard on most cabinet-class slides. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct clearance on each side.
No. The slide is non-handed — both pieces in the pair are identical and either one fits the left or right side of the drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need support at the rear of the slide where the face frame sets the front wall back from the cabinet interior. Rear mounting brackets for this series are sold separately; confirm the correct bracket for the 38 inch Fulterer slide before ordering.
220 lb is the rating per pair — both slides together. That is the number to compare against the weight of the loaded drawer.
For a deep, heavy drawer that needs to stay open while you work and stay closed when you walk away, the Fulterer 38 inch hold-in/hold-out slide gives you that control in a single zinc-finished, full-extension pair rated for 220 lb.
