Sugatsune AR3-K500 drawer slides are AR3-K Series full extension ball bearing drawer slides that let drawers travel their full 19-11/16 inch length, giving clear access to stored items along the entire slide travel. The full extension design supports drawer layouts where technicians, tools, or parts need to be reached without shifting contents. These slides are side mount drawer slides, so they sit on the drawer sides rather than underneath, which keeps the slide mechanism accessible during installation or adjustment. The slides use a ball bearing design, so the moving members roll instead of scraping, which supports smooth operation under regular opening and closing. A hold-out detent is built into the AR3-K Series, so the drawer can stay at its extended position against that detent, which is useful where a drawer needs to remain open while work is performed. The slides are made of aluminum, so each member is lighter than comparable steel members, which can matter in weight-sensitive projects or large multi-drawer assemblies.
These Sugatsune America AR3-K Series slides are identified as side mount drawer slides, so the installer works with the cabinet and drawer sides as the primary reference surfaces during fitting. This side mount orientation helps align the 19-11/16 inch slide length with the corresponding drawer box length, which can simplify layout in face frame or frameless cabinets sized around that travel. The AR3-K500 designation specifies this particular length within the AR3-K Series, so matching the part number to the planned drawer depth helps keep different drawer banks consistent. The slides are made of aluminum, so the components reduce overall drawer hardware weight, which can support cabinetry designs where lighter action and reduced mass are desirable. Being part of Sugatsune America offerings, these AR3-K Series slides align with hardware selections commonly used in woodworking and cabinet production.
The AR3-K Series full extension ball bearing drawer slides sit in the Side Mount, Ball Bearing Slides category, so they serve in projects where side-mounted, rolling-action slides are preferred over bottom-mount hardware. With a 19-11/16 inch length, the AR3-K500 model matches drawer boxes built near that depth, which suits storage drawers in cabinets, workstations, or shop furniture sized around that travel. The hold-out detent built into this AR3-K Series model supports layouts where drawers are routinely pulled fully open during tasks, because the detent can help keep the drawer positioned while tools or parts are accessed. The aluminum construction aligns with projects where material selection values lighter hardware members, which can be useful in multi-drawer runs or upper cabinet applications where overall weight matters to the design.
The AR3-K500 identification ties this drawer slide directly to the AR3-K Series full extension family, so selecting this part number standardizes hardware choice across multiple similar drawer banks. Because these are ball bearing drawer slides, the internal rolling elements help maintain consistent movement over repeated cycles, which supports a predictable feel from drawer to drawer. The side mount configuration provides a clear, repeatable mounting reference on both drawer and cabinet sides, which assists in aligning slides across stacks of drawers with similar dimensions. The 19-11/16 inch length specification gives a concrete dimension for planning cabinet depth and drawer box sizing, which reduces rework when multiple cabinets are built around the same slide length. The aluminum material keeps each slide lighter than many steel-based alternatives, which can contribute to easier handling during installation and support overall cabinet design goals that factor in total hardware weight.
The AR3-K500 is an AR3-K Series full extension ball bearing drawer slide, so the drawer travels the full slide length on rolling bearings for smooth, complete access.
The 19-11/16 inch slide length sets the drawer travel, so designers can size drawer boxes and cabinet depth around that dimension for consistent extension across cabinets.
These Sugatsune America AR3-K Series slides are side mount drawer slides, so they attach to the drawer and cabinet sides, helping maintain alignment using side surfaces.
The AR3-K Series uses ball bearing construction so the moving members roll against each other, which supports smoother drawer motion under regular opening and closing.
The hold-out detent on the AR3-K500 helps the drawer remain at an extended position, which is useful when drawers stay open during tasks or loading work.
These AR3-K Series drawer slides are made of aluminum, which keeps each slide lighter than many steel versions and supports weight-sensitive cabinet designs.
The Sugatsune AR3-K Series 19-11/16 inch full extension ball bearing drawer slides with hold-out detent provide an aluminum, side mount solution identified by part number AR3-K500. This configuration supports drawer designs that benefit from full extension travel, rolling ball bearing movement, and a hold-out detent for extended-open use. For cabinetmakers and shop builders planning banks of drawers around a 19-11/16 inch slide length, adopting this specific AR3-K Series model helps keep hardware choice consistent across the project. Putting the AR3-K500 into the layout ties drawer performance to a known Sugatsune America slide family that fits side mount, ball bearing slide requirements.
