Knape And Vogt 14 Inch Drawer Slides For Work Surfaces

Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slides give you a full extension, ball bearing slide that lets a work surface travel its entire length, so the surface can be pulled out fully for use. The 8414 Series design is unhanded side mount, so the same slide works on either side of the opening, helping streamline layout and ordering on jobs. A hold out feature is built in to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so a pull-out surface stays put during use instead of drifting closed. The zinc finish provides a clean, neutral appearance along the slide, which suits a wide range of cabinet interiors. As part of the 8414 Series, this slide fits into side mount, ball bearing slide projects where controlled extension of a work surface is required.

Key 8414B 14 Slide Details For Job Planning

• The 14 inch length sets the travel distance for the work surface, so you can size the pull-out correctly for the cabinet depth and intended use.
• Full extension travel lets the slide open approximately its entire length, giving access to the full work surface depth instead of leaving a portion hidden in the cabinet.
• The hold out feature is designed to lock the work surface in the extended open position, which keeps the surface stable while work is performed on equipment or materials.
• The slide is a side mount, ball bearing design, so it runs along the cabinet sides and uses bearings for smooth, guided movement under load.
• The unhanded configuration means each slide can be used on either the left or right side, which simplifies stocking and reduces confusion during installation.
• A 32mm pattern is provided, so the slide can align with systems that follow 32mm cabinet drilling layouts for more predictable mounting hole locations.

Mounting And Clearance Details For Installation

Side clearance is 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, so the cabinet opening can be sized to that allowance to position the slide correctly. The slide height is 1-13/16 inch, which determines how it relates to drawer side or work surface build-up and any nearby hardware. As a side mount drawer slide, it attaches to the cabinet sides and the pull-out, placing the moving members along the vertical walls of the opening. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head, so the mounting surface can be prepared for that screw size and head style.

Using 8414 Series Slides In Work Surface Designs

Where These 8414 Series Slides Are Applied

The KV Model 8414 is described as having a hold out feature for work surfaces, so it is suited to pull-out work areas that need to stay extended during use. In a cabinet, the 14 inch length allows a medium-depth work surface to extend fully out of the case, giving usable space in front of the cabinet face. Because the slide is in the side mount drawer slides product class, it fits applications where the slide members sit on the cabinet sides rather than underneath the work surface. The 32mm pattern support helps it integrate into cabinet systems using that drilling standard, which is common in many shop production environments. The zinc finish allows the slide to sit visibly inside cabinets where a neutral metal appearance is acceptable alongside other cabinet hardware. As a side mount, ball bearing slide, it carries the moving work surface on guided bearings along the cabinet sides.

Why These Mounting Details Support Consistent Results

The specified 1/2 inch side clearance plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the gap between the work surface and cabinet, which supports consistent slide engagement and smooth travel. The 1-13/16 inch height keeps the slide within a known vertical profile, aiding in aligning the slide with the work surface structure and any front trim. Being unhanded reduces the chance of mixing left and right parts, so the installer can focus on placing each slide to the marked elevation without part matching delays. Full extension movement lets the work surface clear the cabinet front, which matters when tools or materials need to sit fully on the extended surface. The hold out function maintains the extended position, limiting unwanted movement while the work surface is loaded. Recommended #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head fasteners align the slide mounting to a defined diameter and thread length, which supports a secure connection into typical cabinet side materials.
