KV8419 26" Over Travel Self-Close Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8419B 26

Zinc Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Drawers Under Overhangs

The Knape and Vogt 8419 series is a 26 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with 1 inch of over-travel and an integrated self-close spring, rated 100 lb per pair and finished in zinc. It is sized for kitchen, utility, and shop drawers that sit beneath countertop overhangs or behind deep face frames — situations where a standard full-extension slide leaves the back of the drawer just out of reach.

Key Features

• 1 inch of over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face-frame edges.
• Self-close spring mechanism pulls the drawer fully shut once it is pushed within the capture zone.
• 100 lb per pair rating covers a loaded kitchen or utility drawer without stepping up to a heavier slide class.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel members provides standard indoor corrosion resistance across years of use.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left or right to sort on the bench.
• Bulk-Pack packaging delivers the slide in trade quantities suited to cabinet shops and multi-drawer projects.

Where the Over-Travel Does the Work

A countertop overhang or a thick face frame eats into the usable opening of a drawer. A slide that stops at full extension leaves the drawer front just shy of clearing the overhang, making the rear of the drawer hard to reach. The 8419's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer past that point, so the back of a loaded spice drawer, utility tray, or workshop bin comes fully into reach without leaning in. The self-close spring handles the return: push the drawer to within the capture zone and it pulls home on its own, keeping the cabinet closed without any push-to-the-back routine.

Steel, Zinc, and Long Service Indoors

The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc plated finish — the standard corrosion-resistant treatment for side-mount ball bearing slides used indoors. Zinc protects the steel members through daily kitchen and shop cycles without adding bulk or changing the 1/2 inch side clearance requirement. This is a functional finish, not a decorative one; the slide sits beside the drawer box and is largely out of sight when the cabinet is closed.

Who Reaches for the 8419

Cabinet shops running kitchens with granite or solid-surface countertops are the most common fit — the overhang on those counters regularly blocks a plain full-extension slide from delivering full drawer access. The 8419 also suits workshop and garage cabinets where a workbench top creates the same problem. At 100 lb per pair and 26 inches, it handles a deep drawer loaded with tools, pantry goods, or files. The Bulk-Pack format is well matched to shops ordering for multiple cabinets at once rather than one drawer at a time. This is an indoor slide; the zinc finish is not rated for wet or exterior environments.

A Slide Sized for the Drawer That Always Falls Short

When a countertop overhang keeps turning a 26 inch drawer into a reach-in cabinet, the 8419's 1 inch of over-travel and self-close spring solve both problems in one slide — full access plus a drawer that closes itself, at the 100 lb rating shops rely on for everyday cabinet work.
