Sugatsune ESR-DC4513 Series 26" Full Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slides w/Hold-in Detent, Unhanded Side Mount Stainless Steel, Sold in Pairs, - ESR-SC4513-26
Description
Sugatsune ESR-DC4513 Drawer Slides For Smooth Access
Sugatsune ESR-DC4513 drawer slides provide 26 inch full extension travel so a drawer can open its full length, giving clear access to stored contents without reaching around the front. The side mount design positions the slide along the cabinet sides, supporting typical drawer box construction in shop or jobsite builds. A front disconnect feature allows the drawer member to separate from the cabinet member at the front, simplifying drawer removal during cabinet installation, finishing, or service. Ball bearing construction lets the slide run along steel balls, promoting consistent movement under load compared to friction-based runners. These slides are unhanded, so the same member works on either side of the drawer, helping streamline layout and inventory for installers. Sugatsune America branding identifies the hardware family, supporting use alongside other components from the same manufacturer.
Key Drawer Slide Details That Support Workflow
- The 26 inch full extension design allows the drawer to travel its full nominal length, which helps installers confirm clearances and end users access the entire drawer depth in daily use.
- Side mount configuration places the slides on the drawer sides, aligning with common cabinet construction and giving straightforward layout reference off the case sides during assembly.
- The front disconnect function lets the drawer be released from the slide at the front, which can speed up installation, finishing, and adjustments by handling the cabinet and drawer separately.
- Ball bearing operation supports smoother motion along the slide members, which can help drawers feel controlled in use and reduce sticking compared to simple wooden runners.
- Unhanded design means the same slide members install on either side, which can simplify stocking and reduce the chance of mixing left and right parts on the bench.
- These slides are sold in pairs, aligning with standard drawer construction where one pair supports a single drawer opening.
Mounting And Screw Interface For These Slides
These side mount drawer slides are made to mount with M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws, so installers can select from those screw types to match their cabinet material and fastening preference. The specified M4 or #8 sizing provides a known shank diameter for drilling pilot holes and planning hold strength in typical cabinet materials. Binding, pan, or truss head screw styles create a broad bearing surface against the slide, which helps distribute load at the mounting slots. Side mounting keeps the hardware aligned with the drawer sides, allowing installers to reference off cabinet side panels for consistent reveals and parallel alignment across multiple drawer openings.
Where These 26 Inch Slides Fit Cabinet Work
Side Mount Stainless Slides In Cabinet Runs
These ESR-DC4513 Series 26 inch full extension ball bearing drawer slides sit in the side mount, ball bearing slides class, so they are suited to standard cabinets where the slide runs along each drawer side. The 26 inch length corresponds to deeper drawer boxes, giving travel that matches longer storage spaces often used in base cabinets or utility pullouts. Construction in 304 stainless steel provides a stainless steel slide body, which offers a material option where stainless components are preferred in the cabinet assembly. Being categorized as side mount drawer slides helps align them with layouts that use side-mounted members instead of under-mount or center-mount hardware. The branded Sugatsune ESR-SC4513-26 designation links the slide to the ESR-DC4513 series, allowing installers to match this length to other ESR-DC4513 series lengths when planning a full kitchen or shop run.
Details That Support Repeatable Installation Results
The front disconnect detail on these drawer slides supports repeatable cabinet installation because drawers can be separated during carcass handling and then re-engaged at the front once the cabinet is set. Ball bearing construction in the slide action promotes consistent feel from one drawer to the next, which helps a bank of cabinets operate with similar resistance and travel. The option to mount with M4 or #8 binding, pan, or truss head screws gives installers flexibility to standardize on one screw family across a project while still matching the specified interface. Unhanded side mount members reduce part sorting on the bench, since any member can be used on either side, which can streamline repetitive assembly work. The full extension travel also aids layout, because the extended position makes it easier to verify drawer front clearances to adjacent doors and panels during alignment.
