This is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 265 lb per pair, with an integrated self-close spring that pulls the drawer shut once it enters the capture zone. The zinc finish blends into standard cabinet interiors and holds up through daily industrial and shop use.
At 265 lb per pair, this slide is in a completely different duty class from a standard kitchen cabinet slide. It suits shop drawers, tool chest inserts, garage storage, industrial workstations, and any application where the drawer carries real weight — dense tooling, stacked hardware, heavy stock, or equipment. The self-close feature is a practical convenience in a busy shop or warehouse environment, where a drawer left hanging open becomes a hazard. Full extension means the entire contents are reachable without digging: at full open, the back of the drawer travels out to the cabinet face.
Zinc plating is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in shop and industrial settings. It protects steel members from surface corrosion in dry indoor environments and holds up to the minor abrasion and contact that comes with regular use. Zinc is a functional finish, not a decorative one — the slide sits beside the drawer box and is largely out of sight when the drawer is closed. For outdoor, wet, or washdown environments, a stainless or coated alternative would be the right call; this slide is intended for indoor service.
Cabinet shops building heavy-duty shop furniture or tool storage will find the 265 lb rating and full extension combination uncommon at this slide length. Contractors outfitting utility rooms, server rooms, or workbench cabinetry get a reliable self-close action without upgrading to a longer or more complex slide. For the homeowner building a garage cabinet or workshop bench, the non-handed design simplifies the install — order the count you need and both sides are covered. Keep in mind that this slide needs 1 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box should be sized 2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening.
No. Self-close means a spring pulls the drawer fully shut once it is pushed into the capture zone — there is no damper involved. The drawer closes positively rather than gliding in silently. If a damped, quiet close is needed, look at Fulterer's soft-close variants instead.
Yes, and it matters. Standard side-mount slides need 1/2 inch per side; this slide requires 1 inch per side. Build the drawer box 2 inches narrower than the opening rather than the usual 1 inch narrower.
It can, but face-frame construction requires rear support at the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series — they are sold separately and are series-specific.
That is the rating per pair. Load ratings for drawer slides are always stated for the two slides together, not for a single member.
When the drawer load outgrows what a standard cabinet slide can handle, the Fulterer 16 inch self-close slide in zinc delivers the capacity, full access, and hands-free closing that busy shop and industrial installs require.
