Sugatsune 5302 Series 17-11/16" Full Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Stainless Steel, - 5302-450

Sugatsune 5302 Series Drawer Slides For Full Access

Sugatsune 5302 series drawer slides use a full extension design so the drawer can travel the entire slide length, allowing clear access to the back of the drawer during daily use or service work. These slides are made of 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in typical shop, kitchen, and workroom environments, helping the slide maintain function where moisture or cleaning is present. The slide uses a ball bearing construction, which supports smooth drawer movement under load so drawers open and close with consistent effort across their full travel. This model is a side mount drawer slide, positioning along the drawer sides to suit common cabinet construction methods and straightforward layout. The 17-11/16 inch length targets medium-depth drawers, aligning the slide length with cabinets that need strong support without sacrificing internal storage reach.

Key Working Details That Support Daily Use

• The 17-11/16 inch slide length defines the drawer travel distance, helping installers match cabinet depth and avoid wasted space in typical base or utility cabinets.
• The full extension design lets the drawer extend to the complete slide length, improving visibility to stored contents and simplifying organization and cleaning work.
• Ball bearing operation guides the drawer along steel races, which supports smooth, repeatable motion that feels consistent on every cycle in a shop, office, or residential setting.
• Construction from 304 stainless steel resists rust in normal interior moisture conditions, which supports long-term function where humidity or occasional cleaning products are present.
• The side mount layout aligns with common cabinet side panels, allowing straightforward application in typical woodworking builds where drawer boxes are framed between cabinet sides.
• The unhanded design means the same slide works on either side, which simplifies planning and reduces part sorting when setting up multiple drawer runs.

Mounting And Fastening Details For Installers

This Sugatsune 5302 series side mount drawer slide mounts with M5 flat head screws, pairing the slide holes with a commonly used metric fastener size to streamline setup where metric tooling is standard. The flat head screw interface allows the screw head to seat flush to the slide surface, helping the drawer clear the slide hardware through its full extension without interference. Being a side mount design, the slide aligns directly to the cabinet side and drawer side, supporting straightforward layout using familiar reference edges on face frame or frameless constructions. The 17-11/16 inch length gives installers a clear reference when sizing drawer boxes, tying the hardware length to the intended cabinet interior depth so drawer construction, slide positioning, and case dimensions work together cleanly.

Using This Stainless Side Mount Slide In Projects

Where The Sugatsune 5302 Slide Is Typically Applied

The Sugatsune 5302 series drawer slide works as a side mount drawer slide within the broader category of side mount, ball bearing slides, fitting cabinet and furniture applications that rely on side-mounted runners. As a 17-11/16 inch full extension model, it suits medium-depth drawers in cabinetry where full access to contents is important, such as shop storage, office casework, or household utility cabinets. Its 304 stainless steel construction supports use in interior environments where metal components may see occasional moisture or cleaning solutions, helping the slide maintain its movement characteristics in normal woodworking and casework installations. The ball bearing mechanism supports applications that cycle frequently, because the bearings guide movement along the length of the slide instead of relying on plain friction surfaces.

Why These Slide Details Support Consistent Results

The 5302-450 stainless drawer slide pairs the 17-11/16 inch length with full extension travel so the hardware defines a predictable drawer box depth and fully exposes that depth in use, simplifying layout and making stored items easier to reach. Side mounting keeps both members aligned to cabinet and drawer sides, which supports square installation using familiar measuring points and helps maintain drawer tracking over time. The use of ball bearings inside the slide structure supports smoother motion compared to non-bearing runners, helping drawers start moving with less effort and stop more predictably at full extension. The 304 stainless steel material supports resistance to typical indoor corrosion, which helps the bearing paths remain clean in everyday shop or cabinet environments. Mounting with M5 flat head screws allows the hardware to sit flush to the slide profile, which supports unobstructed drawer movement and contributes to repeatable performance across multiple drawers built to the same standard.
