KV 8419 10-Pair Box 18" Self-Close/Hold-In/Anti-Rebound Side Mount Over-Travel 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 8419B 18

Zinc-Finished Over-Travel Self-Close Slide for Drawers Under Overhangs

The Knape and Vogt 8419 series is an 18 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide in zinc finish, rated 100 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel and an integrated self-close spring that pulls the drawer fully shut. It is built for kitchen and utility drawers that sit under countertop overhangs or behind deep face frames, where standard full-extension travel leaves the back of the drawer just out of reach.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer member past the nominal slide length, so rear contents clear even a projecting countertop edge.
• Self-close spring pulls the drawer the rest of the way shut once it is pushed within the capture zone — no damper, no slam, just a positive close.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen or utility drawer with confidence.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel from the first pull to the thousandth.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left-right sorting on the bench.
• Bright zinc finish on cold-formed steel members provides standard indoor corrosion resistance and blends with most cabinet interiors.

Where the Extra Inch Does the Work

A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face. Under a countertop that projects past the face frame, or in a run where base cabinet doors create a slight lip, the rear inch of a full drawer can still be awkward to reach. The 8419's 1 inch over-travel solves that directly: the drawer member travels an inch past the nominal 18 inch length, pushing the drawer clear of the overhang so the back corner of the box is fully accessible. For kitchen drawers storing pots or baking sheets, that clearance changes how the drawer actually gets used.

Zinc Finish on Steel

The zinc-plated steel members on the 8419 are built for indoor cabinetry. Zinc plating is the standard corrosion-resistant finish for side-mount ball bearing slides — durable enough for kitchen and utility environments, and neutral enough to disappear beside most cabinet box materials. This is a functional, working finish, not a decorative one. It is not stainless and is not rated for wet or outdoor exposure.

Shops and Installers Ordering in Volume

The 8419 ships in bulk pack, making it practical for cabinet shops running this slide across multiple drawer banks. The non-handed format eliminates the need to sort or stage left and right parts. Side clearance is 1/2 inch per side, so drawer boxes are built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, the back end of the slide needs rear support — add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, since the brackets are series-specific. The 32mm hole pattern lines up with standard line-bored frameless panels without layout work.

A Slide That Goes the Extra Inch

When a standard full-extension slide falls just short of giving you the whole drawer, the 8419 closes that gap — literally — with 1 inch of over-travel, a self-close spring, and a zinc finish built for years of indoor service.
