KV 8419 24" Self-Close/Hold-In/Anti-Rebound Side Mount Over-Travel 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Poly-Pack, Zinc, 8419P 24

Zinc Finish and 1 Inch of Extra Reach

The Knape and Vogt 8419 Series is a 24 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with over-travel action and an integrated self-close spring, rated 100 lb per pair. The zinc finish blends with the steel interior of most cabinetry and holds up through years of everyday use indoors.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face frames for full rear access.
• Self-close spring pulls the drawer completely shut once it is pushed within the capture zone — no damper, a positive close.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen or utility drawer with room to spare.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel from the first pull to the thousandth.
• Non-handed design means one part fits either side of the drawer — no sorting, no left-right inventory.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel provides standard indoor corrosion resistance in a clean, low-profile look.

Where the Extra Inch Pays Off

Over-travel is the right choice any time the drawer opening is partially blocked by something in front of it. Under a countertop overhang, the drawer member travels 1 inch past the slide's nominal length so the back of the drawer clears the lip and becomes reachable. The same benefit shows up behind a deep face frame, where even a full-extension slide can leave the rear of the drawer partially hidden. The self-close spring adds to the practical value: push the drawer partway in and the spring takes over, pulling it home. That behavior is especially useful on drawers that get closed quickly — pots-and-pans drawers, utility drawers under a workbench — where a firm push is the typical close.

Steel Construction With a Zinc Coat

The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in cabinet and shop environments: it protects the steel through daily use indoors without adding bulk or changing the slide's profile. The finish is functional rather than decorative — it sits beside the drawer box, largely out of sight, doing its job quietly. This is not a stainless steel slide and is not intended for wet, washdown, or outdoor environments.

The Right Slide for These Installs

The 8419 series fits kitchen drawers under overhanging countertops, workshop drawers under a benchtop, and file or utility drawers anywhere a standard full-extension slide leaves the rear contents hard to reach. At 100 lb per pair it handles typical residential and light commercial loads. The non-handed format and 1/2 inch side clearance per side match the dimensions of most existing side-mount ball bearing installations, making the 8419 a direct upgrade path from a plain full-extension slide when the extra inch of travel would solve a reach problem. In face-frame cabinets, the back end of the slide needs support — add the matching rear mounting brackets, sold separately, before ordering.

A Slide That Gets the Drawer All the Way Out

If the reason drawers feel awkward is that the back stays hidden behind the countertop or frame, the extra inch of over-travel on the 8419 fixes that directly — paired with a self-close spring that keeps things tidy when the drawer is pushed shut.
