22 Inch Full-Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slide for Production Cabinet Work

This is a 22 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8417 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent and a bright zinc finish suited to standard indoor cabinet installations. Sold in bulk-pack quantity for shops ordering at volume.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the back of the box is fully reachable.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen, office, or utility drawer through daily use.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed and prevents it from bouncing back open after a firm push shut.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench.
• Bright zinc finish provides indoor corrosion resistance over cold-rolled steel construction.
• Bulk-Pack format is sized for shops running multiple drawers per day rather than one-off retail projects.

Where This Slide Earns Its Place

A 22 inch slide length suits deeper cabinet drawers — base cabinets, kitchen roll-out trays, and home-office or shop drawers built to standard depths. Full extension means there is no digging for items at the back: the entire drawer box clears the cabinet opening when pulled. The hold-in detent adds one practical layer beyond a plain free-sliding slide: once the drawer is pushed closed, the detent catches it and holds it in place without a spring or damper. That is the right behavior for utility and storage drawers that see firm handling — the drawer stays put rather than drifting back open. This is a standard-motion side-mount slide, so there is no soft-close and no self-close spring; the drawer rests wherever it is left when open.

Steel Construction, Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-rolled steel, telescoped on ball bearings running in full-length raceways. The bright zinc finish is the working standard for this class of side-mount ball bearing slide: it protects the steel through years of indoor service and is largely hidden beside the installed drawer box. Zinc is not a decorative finish and is not rated for outdoor or high-humidity environments — this slide is for dry, indoor cabinet installations. The 1/2 inch side clearance requirement per side is a fixed constraint of the design, so the drawer box must be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

Right Fit for Cabinet Shops and Volume Installers

The bulk-pack format is the practical choice for cabinet shops, millwork operations, and contractors who install drawers in quantity. Because the slide is non-handed, one SKU stocks both sides of every drawer with no bin management for left and right parts. The 8417 series works in frameless cabinets with direct side-panel mounting on the standard 32mm hole pattern. For face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide — those brackets are series-specific and sold separately. The 100 lb per pair rating covers the broad middle of residential and light commercial drawer work without overspecifying.

A Reliable Side-Mount Slide, Ready to Run

The KV 8417 in 22 inch zinc delivers full extension, a 100 lb rating, and a hold-in detent in a non-handed bulk format built for shops that need to move through drawers efficiently — no extra hardware to sort, no decisions to make at the bench.
