This is Fulterer's 44 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, rated 220 lb per pair, with both hold-in and hold-out detents built into the same slide. It is designed for oversized storage drawers, deep shop cabinets, and any application where a long, heavily loaded drawer needs to stay where it is put — whether closed or fully open.
A 44 inch drawer is a different category of problem than a kitchen cabinet drawer. The slide length suits deep shop carts, tool-storage chests, rolling workbenches, and large utility cabinets where the drawer box itself is 40 inches or more front to back. Full extension means the back of that drawer comes all the way out — no reaching in from the front, no lost contents at the rear.
The hold-in/hold-out combination is the feature that sets this slide apart from a plain full-extension model. The hold-in detent stops a heavy, loaded drawer from rebounding or drifting open after being pushed closed — a real issue when the drawer weight is measured in the hundreds of pounds. The hold-out detent solves the other half of that problem: keep the drawer open hands-free while you load or unload it. Neither detent is a lock; both release with a normal pull or push. This is a standard-motion slide — there is no soft-close damper and no spring assist.
The slide is formed from steel with a zinc finish, the standard corrosion-resistant coating for ball bearing slides used in dry indoor environments. Zinc protects the steel members through years of shop service and holds up to the incidental contact that comes with heavy-use cabinetry. This is not a decorative finish — it is the working surface of a tool.
One spec to plan around before building the drawer box: this slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side, not the 1/2 inch that most standard cabinet slides need. At 44 inches and a 220 lb rating, the wider members demand that extra room. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to account for both sides.
This slide is specified for the drawer that has to work hard and stay reliable over a long service life — large shop tool storage, parts drawers in a cabinet shop, rolling utility carts, and institutional storage. The 220 lb capacity and 44 inch length put it well above the residential kitchen class; it is not the right tool for a standard base cabinet drawer, but it is exactly right for a 40-plus-inch drawer under serious daily load. The non-handed design keeps ordering straightforward for shops building multiple units: one SKU covers both sides of every drawer.
44 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension design, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer clear of the cabinet face — but slide length and travel distance are two separate specs, and travel may vary slightly depending on the drawer box and installation.
Hold-in is a detent at the closed position — it keeps the drawer shut and prevents it from bouncing back open after a firm close. Hold-out is a detent at the fully open position — it holds the drawer extended until intentionally pushed closed. Neither is a lock; both release with a normal pull or push. There is no spring and no damper on this slide.
The wider member profile required to handle 220 lb at 44 inches takes up more room than a standard 100 lb cabinet slide. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening total — 3/4 inch per side — to install correctly.
No. The slide is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer, so one SKU covers the full installation.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need support at the rear of the cabinet side. Rear mounting brackets are typically required for face-frame installations; confirm bracket availability for this series before ordering for that application.
When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the work demands that things stay put, the dual-detent hold-in/hold-out design in full extension and zinc delivers the stability and reach to keep the job moving.
