14 Inch Full-Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slide for Hands-Free Open Work Surfaces

The Knape and Vogt 8414 is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with a built-in hold-out detent that keeps the drawer in the open position until intentionally pushed closed. Rated 100 lb per pair in a zinc finish, it is the right choice for any drawer that needs to stay out of the way while both hands are busy.

Key Features

• Hold-out detent locks the drawer in the fully open position and releases with a normal push closed.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the contents at the back are reachable.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles loaded utility, shop, and kitchen drawers.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left or right sorting on the bench.
• Lever disconnect lets the drawer member be removed from the cabinet member quickly without tools.
• Bulk-Pack packaging makes this the practical choice for shops pulling slides from stock rather than retail bags.

Where the Hold-Out Detent Earns Its Keep

A standard slide stays open only as long as something holds it. The 8414 holds itself. Once extended, the hold-out detent locks the drawer in the open position, freeing both hands for the task at hand — measuring a drawer insert, loading a tool tray, or filing documents without the drawer slowly creeping closed. The detent releases with an ordinary push, so there is no lever to hunt for when you are ready to close. This makes the 8414 a natural fit for workbench drawers, utility cabinet trays, and office drawers where hands-free access is a real workflow advantage.

Zinc Finish on a Working Slide

The zinc finish on the 8414 is steel's standard indoor protection — electroplated over cold-formed steel members for corrosion resistance through years of service in dry environments. It is a functional finish, not a decorative one, and it sits beside the drawer box mostly out of sight once installed. The zinc matches the hardware standard in most shop and cabinet environments without drawing attention to the slide itself. These are indoor slides; for wet or exterior applications, a different finish and material class is appropriate.

Who This Slide Is Built For

The 8414 series in 14 inches suits shallow to mid-depth cabinet drawers — think utility drawers in a base cabinet, tool-chest top drawers, and office storage where a 14 inch interior depth is the constraint. Cabinet shops ordering in volume will find the Bulk-Pack format reduces handling and packaging waste compared to poly-bagged retail sets. The 100 lb per pair rating covers the everyday working load of a well-stocked drawer without stepping up to the file-drawer class. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the segment standard, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required for back support and are sold separately.

A Slide That Stays Out of the Way Until You Are Done

The 8414 in zinc brings the hold-out detent's hands-free convenience to a full-extension, 100 lb rated side-mount slide — the practical upgrade for any drawer where staying open matters as much as closing cleanly.
