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

22 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides For Smooth Access

22 inch over travel drawer slides from the Knape and Vogt 8419 series provide a self closing, side mount solution that helps drawers pull out past the cabinet face for better reach. The 22 inch length sets the slide up for standard drawer depths where full access is important. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the fitting gap, so cabinet members and drawer boxes can be sized for a consistent running clearance. A height of 1-13/16 inch gives the slide a compact profile, helping it fit in typical cabinet side spaces while still carrying a ball bearing mechanism. The side mount, ball bearing construction supports smooth travel along the length, which matters when drawers are opened and closed repeatedly in a shop or kitchen.

Key 8419 Series Details That Support Daily Use

• The 1 inch overtravel lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front, improving access to items at the back and reducing the need to reach around the face frame in tight installations.
• The self closing feature draws the drawer shut near the end of travel, helping the drawer settle into the closed position without needing to be pushed firmly every time.
• Lever disconnect allows the drawer member to separate from the cabinet member, which makes installing, removing, or adjusting the drawer box more straightforward on site.
• The ball retainer latch holds the ball bearings in place within the slide, supporting consistent movement and reducing the risk of the mechanism coming apart during handling.
• Polymer stop cushions absorb contact at the ends of travel, softening the stop and helping protect the slide and cabinet from repeated impact during opening and closing.
• The non-handed design lets the same slide be used on either left or right side, simplifying layout and reducing orientation issues during installation.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Mounting Details

This Knape and Vogt side mount drawer slide uses a 32 mm pattern, so hole positioning follows that standard layout along the members. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side sets the total required gap between the drawer box and the cabinet opening. A height of 1-13/16 inch defines how much vertical space the slide occupies, which can be matched to drawer side heights. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, aligning the hardware size and head style with the slide design to secure the members to wood cabinet and drawer components.

Where Knape And Vogt 8419 Slides Work Best

1 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slide In Cabinet Projects

The KV Model 8419 over travel self closing drawer slide is a side mount, ball bearing slide designed for installations needing extended reach. The 1 inch overtravel means the drawer moves past the cabinet front, which can be valuable in base cabinets, shop storage, or utility drawers where access to the rear matters. The anochromek finish gives the metal slide a uniform coated surface, supporting a finished appearance inside cabinets. With a height of 1-13/16 inch, the slide fits alongside common drawer side constructions without dominating the side wall. The 22 inch length pairs with drawer depths sized around that dimension, helping the slide support the box through its full movement range while keeping the cabinet member length predictable in layout.

Details That Support Repeatable Installation Results

The 32 mm pattern on this Knape and Vogt 8419 slide aligns screw locations along a known system, which helps repeat hole placement across multiple cabinets. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch each side establishes a defined design gap, so a run of drawers can be sized with the same clearance target. Lever disconnect allows the drawer member to be released from the cabinet member, so drawer boxes can be mounted, removed, or adjusted without disturbing the cabinet side installation. The ball retainer latch keeps the bearing elements captured during handling and operation, supporting smooth travel over the 22 inch length. Polymer stop cushions at the ends of travel soften contact, which can reduce noise and stress on the slide when drawers are opened and closed frequently. The non-handed construction means one model 8419 slide handles both sides of the drawer, simplifying ordering and reducing orientation decisions during mounting.
