KV8419 22" Over Travel Self-Close Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Poly-Pack - 8419P 22

Zinc-Finished Self-Close Over-Travel Ball Bearing Slides for Drawers Under Counter Overhangs

The Knape and Vogt 8419 series is a 22 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide that pairs a self-close spring with 1 inch of over-travel, letting the drawer clear countertop overhangs and deep face frames while closing itself the rest of the way. Rated 100 lb per pair, zinc finished, and non-handed, it ships as a poly-pack set ready for installation.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, clearing overhanging worktops so the full drawer interior is reachable.
• Self-close spring pulls the drawer fully shut once pushed within the capture zone — no damper, just a positive, reliable close.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles loaded kitchen, utility, and shop drawers well within spec.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench before installation.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel under load across the full range of motion.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance on a slide that is functional and stays out of the way when the drawer is open.

Where Over-Travel and Self-Close Work Together

A standard full-extension slide stops at the cabinet face — which is fine until there is a countertop lip, a thick face frame, or a deep appliance housing in the way. The 8419's 1 inch of over-travel pushes past that obstacle, so the back of the drawer is actually reachable instead of just technically exposed. Pair that with the self-close spring and the drawer pulls itself shut after use without any extra push. That combination makes the 8419 a natural fit for kitchen base cabinets under granite or stone tops, utility drawers built into bench runs with overhanging work surfaces, and cabinetry where a face frame adds depth that a plain full-extension slide cannot fully compensate for.

Materials and Finish

The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for indoor side-mount ball bearing slides. Zinc protects against the humidity and everyday wear of a kitchen or shop environment without adding bulk or cost. The finish is functional rather than decorative; the slide sits beside the drawer box and is mostly out of sight once the drawer is installed. This is not a stainless or epoxy finish and is intended for dry indoor applications.

Who Reaches for the 8419

Cabinet installers and shop owners who run into the overhang problem regularly know the 8419 by its combination of specs: over-travel plus self-close at the 100 lb class, in the volume-friendly 22 inch length, at a price that works for production quantities. Homeowners replacing worn slides under a stone countertop get the same benefit. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side matches the standard side-mount ball bearing format, so it drops into the same cabinet opening as most existing slides of this class. The poly-pack format delivers one complete working pair per order.

A Slide That Handles What Standard Full-Extension Cannot

When the cabinet layout puts a countertop or a frame between the open drawer and full access, the 8419's combination of over-travel and self-close solves both halves of the problem in one slide.
