This is a 42 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 220 lb per pair, finished in zinc, with both a hold-in and hold-out detent built into the same slide. It is sized for the deep, heavily loaded drawers found in shop cabinets, workbenches, garage storage, and commercial casework where a standard 100 lb cabinet slide falls well short.
At 42 inches, this slide is built for the deepest drawer runs in a shop or storage cabinet — the kind that hold heavy tooling, fastener stock, or large drawer contents that would overload a standard residential slide. Full extension means the entire drawer box travels clear of the cabinet face, so nothing is hidden in the back of a deep run. The hold-out detent earns its place in working environments: the drawer stays open hands-free while tools are loaded or unloaded, then releases with a normal push. On a loaded shop drawer that would otherwise slide closed on its own, that detent keeps the workflow moving.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with ball bearings running in full-length raceways — the bearing system that delivers smooth, consistent travel even when the drawer is loaded near its rated capacity. The zinc finish is electroplated over the steel for corrosion resistance through years of indoor service. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty ball bearing slides; it is a functional, durable finish on hardware that sits beside the drawer box and takes daily use. This is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is suited to dry indoor environments.
The 42 inch length and 220 lb capacity put this slide in a specific category: deep shop cabinets, mechanics' benches, garage storage walls, and commercial millwork where drawer depth runs well beyond the standard kitchen range and loads are measured in real weight. The 3/4 inch side clearance per side is wider than the 1/2 inch standard for lighter cabinet slides, so drawer box widths need to be calculated accordingly. Cabinet shops building custom shop furniture, contractors fitting out commercial spaces, and serious DIYers finishing a dedicated workspace will all find the combination of depth, capacity, and the hold-in/hold-out detent useful where standard hardware does not reach.
No. 42 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travels approximately the full slide length and clears the cabinet face — but slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
Hold-in keeps the drawer closed — it catches when shut and resists bouncing back open. Hold-out keeps the drawer fully open — it holds position at full extension until intentionally pushed closed. Both are mechanical detents, not soft-close dampers or locks.
Yes. This slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side — 1-1/2 inches total — which is wider than the 1/2 inch standard on lighter cabinet slides. Size the drawer box accordingly before building.
No. The slide is non-handed — both members in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
No. The hold-in detent keeps the drawer closed, but there is no damper. The drawer does not slow down on its own as it approaches closed — it seats positively in the detent when pushed shut.
Side-mount slides need rear support in face-frame construction. Add rear mounting brackets matched to this slide for face-frame installations; brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
When the drawer is 42 inches deep, loaded past 100 pounds, and needs to stay open while both hands are occupied, this Fulterer slide covers all three — full extension, 220 lb capacity, and a hold-in/hold-out detent in one zinc-finished steel package.
