Zinc-Finished Side-Mount Ball Bearing Slides Built for Everyday Cabinet Work

The Knape and Vogt 8417 Series is a 24 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer closed until pulled. Zinc finished and non-handed, it ships in a poly-pack ready for kitchen, office, and utility cabinet installations.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the back of the box is fully reachable.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair covers loaded kitchen drawers, utility pulls, and shop storage in the standard duty class.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the closed drawer from bouncing back open when shut firmly — no spring assist, no damper, just a mechanical catch.
• Non-handed steel construction means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side follows the standard side-mount ball bearing fit, so the drawer box is built one inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
• Zinc finish delivers reliable indoor corrosion resistance on the steel members for years of service inside the cabinet box.

Where These Slides Do Their Best Work

A 24 inch full-extension slide earns its place in base cabinet drawers where the contents need to come fully into view — pots-and-pans pulls, shop drawers packed to the back, and office utility drawers that get heavy daily use. The hold-in detent adds a practical advantage in any drawer that gets closed firmly: the drawer seats and stays put rather than rebounding open. That makes this slide a particularly good fit for busy kitchen installs and shop environments where a drawer left ajar is a problem. It is also a clean choice for replacement work: the 24 inch length, 1/2 inch clearance, and non-handed design cover a wide range of existing openings without custom fitting.

Steel Construction, Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the segment's working standard for indoor side-mount slides: it protects the steel against the humidity and cleaning cycles common in kitchen and utility environments without adding color or a decorative sheen. The finish sits mostly out of sight once the drawer is installed — this is a functional choice, not an aesthetic one. For installations where the slide will be visible against a dark or colored cabinet interior, the same 8417 Series is available in other finishes.

The Right Buyer for the 8417 Series

Cabinet shops running production volume through standard residential kitchens will find the 8417's combination of full extension, hold-in detent, and zinc finish straightforward to spec and install. Contractors replacing worn slides in existing face-frame or frameless cabinets benefit from the non-handed design and standard 1/2 inch clearance — one SKU covers both sides of the drawer without a separate left and right order. Homeowners retrofitting a base cabinet drawer get the same full access and stay-closed behavior with no special tools. The poly-pack format suits project-scale quantities. For face-frame cabinet installs, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide and are sold separately — they are series-specific to the KV 8417.

Full Extension and a Stay-Closed Detent, in One Standard Slide

The KV 8417 Series in zinc brings together the two things most everyday cabinet drawers actually need: complete access to the back of the box and a drawer that stays shut when closed. At 100 lb per pair and 24 inches, it is sized for the work, finished to last, and ready to install without left-right sorting.
