The Sugatsune ESR-3813 is an 8 inch, full-extension side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide made from 304 stainless steel, engineered for applications where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or salt air would corrode a standard plated slide. A hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed between uses — a useful feature anywhere vibration, traffic, or accidental contact could nudge a drawer open.
The ESR-3813 belongs in any cabinet that faces regular moisture exposure or cleaning. In a commercial kitchen, that means prep-station drawers holding utensils, small tools, or portioning supplies — drawers that get wiped down or splashed every shift. In a healthcare or laboratory setting, it means casework that must stand up to disinfectant sprays without the rust staining that plated steel eventually produces. On a boat or in an outdoor bar setup, it means drawers that face salt air and humidity continuously. The 8 inch length suits compact casework: shallow under-counter drawers, equipment carts, and service stations where a longer slide will not fit the cabinet depth.
Both the cabinet member and drawer member are 304 stainless steel — the corrosion-resistant alloy itself, not a coated or plated finish over carbon steel. That distinction matters in environments where a finish can chip or degrade over time and expose the base metal underneath. The stainless construction is also low-maintenance: wipe it down with the same disinfectant or sanitizer used on the surrounding surfaces and it keeps running. This is a standard-motion slide with a hold-in anti-rebound detent; there is no soft-close or self-close damping, which keeps the mechanism simple and easy to clean.
This slide is the right choice for professionals who specify cabinet hardware for wet or high-traffic environments: kitchen designers equipping commercial prep lines, contractors fitting out laboratory and medical casework, marine builders finishing a galley or wet bar, and facility managers sourcing replacement hardware for institutional service carts. The compact 8 inch length is a narrow-cabinet solution — useful when the install depth is limited and a longer slide simply will not clear the back of the box. The non-handed design is a practical advantage when ordering for multiple drawers: every slide in the order is interchangeable, which cuts inventory complexity and eliminates the risk of a handed-parts mismatch.
The source data identifies this as 304 stainless steel — the corrosion-resistant alloy throughout, not a coating over carbon steel.
It is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer in the closed position until you pull it open. It also stops the drawer from bouncing back open after a firm push home. It is not a soft-close damper and does not pull the drawer shut the way a self-close ramp does.

304 stainless performs far better than zinc-plated steel in salt air and occasional moisture exposure. For continuous direct saltwater contact — such as on an open deck — 316 stainless offers greater chloride resistance. The source confirms 304 for this series.
Yes, but the stainless construction is specified for environments that need corrosion resistance. For a dry indoor kitchen, a standard zinc-plated ball-bearing slide at the same load rating costs less and performs just as well. Choose the ESR-3813 when the environment justifies the material.
When the cabinet is in a kitchen, lab, galley, or anywhere else that stays wet, the material is the spec — and 304 stainless steel with full extension and hold-in security keeps the drawer running long after a plated slide would have rusted out.
