This 14 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8419 series delivers 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension, paired with an integrated self-close spring, in a zinc-finished steel body. It is the right choice when a drawer needs to clear an overhang or a deep face frame and the installer wants the drawer to pull itself shut without help.
Most full-extension slides stop at the cabinet face. The 8419 keeps moving for another inch, which changes what is reachable in two common situations. Under a countertop overhang — especially on kitchen base cabinets — that extra inch means the back edge of the drawer clears the overhang rather than stopping beneath it. In face-frame construction with a deep reveal, over-travel lets the drawer front clear the frame completely so the box sides are accessible. For drawers in flush or standard frameless openings, a plain full-extension slide does the job; the 8419 earns its keep when the cabinet geometry creates an obstacle at full open.
The self-close spring complements the over-travel by finishing the close reliably. Push the drawer to within an inch of the closed position and the spring takes over, pulling it fully home. This is not a damped soft-close — the close is positive and snappy, not cushioned — so it works well where the installer wants a definitive close without a separate damper mechanism.
Zinc electroplating is the standard protective finish for side-mount ball bearing slides, and for good reason: it resists the light moisture and handling that come with everyday indoor cabinet use without adding bulk or changing the slide's tolerances. The zinc finish on the 8419 is a functional choice, not a decorative one. The slide sits beside the drawer box out of sight when the drawer is closed, so the finish serves the steel, not the showroom. For installs where the slide color matters — white interiors, dark-painted cabinets — other finish variants of the 8419 series are available.
The 14 inch length suits shallower drawers and smaller cabinet runs: spice pull-outs, small utility drawers, and narrow base cabinets where an 18 or 22 inch slide would overshoot the interior depth. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch clearance for each slide. In face-frame cabinets, the back end of the slide needs rear support — add the corresponding KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, or use a slide version with a front slotted hole for face-frame mounting. This SKU ships in bulk packaging, which suits shops running production quantities rather than single-drawer retail packs. One pair per drawer, non-handed throughout.
No. The 8419 uses a spring that pulls the drawer fully shut once it enters the capture zone — it is a positive, undamped close. A soft-close slide uses a damper to slow the drawer at the end of travel for a quiet, cushioned finish. If damped closing is the priority, look at the Knape and Vogt FM soft-close series instead.
The slide is 14 inches long when closed. With over-travel, the drawer member extends the full slide length plus an additional 1 inch, so the drawer travels slightly beyond the cabinet face rather than stopping at it.
No. The 8419 is non-handed — both slides are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order the quantity equal to the number of drawers, and each set of two covers one drawer.
It can, but the back end of the slide needs support. In face-frame construction the cabinet side is set back from the frame, so add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to support the slide's rear. Brackets are series-specific and must be ordered to match the 8419.
Bulk-pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than in individual retail polybags. It is the production-quantity format — practical for shops installing multiple drawers at once, without extra packaging to discard at the bench.
When the cabinet geometry — a counter overhang, a deep face frame — eats into usable drawer travel, the 8419's extra inch of reach turns a half-accessible drawer into a fully functional one. Pair that with a self-close spring and a 100 lb capacity, and the result is a 14 inch slide that solves a specific installation problem without overcomplicating the order.
