Knape And Vogt 14 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides
Knape and Vogt 14 inch over travel drawer slides give a 1 inch overtravel action, which lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet face so the back of the drawer is easier to access during regular use. The self closing function pulls the drawer shut at the end of travel, helping the drawer return consistently to the closed position in everyday operation. These 8419 series ball bearing slides use a side mount layout, so they install along the cabinet sides in applications designed for this style. The slides are unhanded, which allows the same member design to be used on both left and right sides and keeps layout consistent from cabinet to cabinet. A zinc finish is provided on this poly-pack version, giving a familiar metal appearance that suits typical cabinet hardware environments.
Key Slide Details For Cabinet Projects
- The 14 inch length sets the slide travel to match shallow to medium-depth drawers, helping installers coordinate cabinet depth with the specified nominal slide length in shops or on site.
- Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side provides a defined drawer box width target, which supports building or ordering drawer boxes that run smoothly on these guides.
- A 1-13/16 inch height profile gives a known side wall requirement, which matters when matching slide height to drawer side dimensions and clearances inside face-frame or frameless cabinets.
- The 32 mm pattern designation indicates hole spacing aligned to 32 mm system boring, helping production shops align slide mounting with line-bored cabinet case sides.
- The Anochromek finish on the slide members provides a specific coated metal surface, which contributes to a uniform appearance with other components using the same finish in a project.
- Self closing operation combines with ball bearing construction, providing guided movement with an automatic pull-in at the end of stroke for drawers built to the specified clearances.
Side Mount Installation And Fit Parameters
These Knape and Vogt 8419P 14 slides use a side mount configuration, which positions the slide members on the drawer sides and cabinet interior walls for projects laid out around this mounting approach. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the drawer box width relative to the opening, giving cabinetmakers a numeric target when sizing parts. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, tying the slides to a specific screw size and head style that seats properly in the slide holes. A slide height of 1-13/16 inch sets the minimum drawer side height needed so the slide does not project beyond the drawer, which supports predictable fit in stacked drawer banks.
How KV 8419P 14 Slides Support Drawer Builds
Using These Slides In Cabinet Applications
The KV model 8419P 14 designation identifies this as a Knape and Vogt 8419 series side mount slide in a 14 inch length, which ties directly to case depth planning and drawer length in cabinet runs. The 1 inch overtravel allows the drawer to extend beyond the cabinet front, which helps users reach items at the rear of the drawer without interference from the face. Self closing operation engages near the end of closing travel, pulling the drawer shut so it seats consistently against the front and keeps alignment uniform across multiple drawers. Ball bearing construction supports the sliding action between members, so drawers built to the 1/2 inch side clearance plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch spec track along a defined path. The unhanded design means each slide member set can serve either side of the drawer, simplifying layout when setting up pairs across several cabinets.
Details That Help Repeatable Installation Results
The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side translates directly into drawer width calculations, which lets shops cut drawer parts to consistent dimensions for repeat runs. The 1-13/16 inch slide height informs how tall drawer sides should be to cover the slide while still fitting within the cabinet opening, which is important when aligning top edges across adjacent drawers. The 32 mm pattern relates the mounting holes to standard line boring, allowing cases drilled on 32 mm centers to accept these slides without additional layout steps. Anochromek finish on the slide members provides a matching coated metal look that coordinates with other components using the same finish in built-ins or commercial millwork. Recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws correspond to the hole sizing and countersink profile, giving a screw length and head style suited to securing the slides to typical cabinet materials.
