KV 8505 10-Pack 26" Hold-In/Anti-Rebound Side Mount Over-Travel 150 lb Ball Bearing File Drawer Slide, Left Hand, Zinc, 8505-99 26

Left-Hand Cabinet Member for Heavy File Drawers That Clear the Overhang

This is the 26 inch left-hand cabinet member from Knape and Vogt's 8505 series: a side-mount ball bearing file drawer slide component rated 150 lb class, with 1.25 inch over-travel and a hold-in anti-rebound detent, sold as a single cabinet member in a Q-Pack.

Key Features

• 150 lb class load rating — built for loaded file and lateral drawers that exceed the standard 100 lb cabinet slide range.
• 1.25 inch over-travel — the drawer member travels past the slide's nominal length, pushing the drawer clear of countertop overhangs and deep face frames.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent — a mechanical catch keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• Progressive ball bearing movement — full-length steel ball bearings in formed raceways carry a heavy paper load smoothly through the full travel arc.
• Left-hand orientation — this is the cabinet member for the left side of the drawer only; the matching right-hand member and both drawer members are ordered separately to complete a drawer.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel — standard indoor corrosion resistance for a side-mount member that lives beside the drawer box.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer out to the cabinet face. On an 8505, the drawer keeps going — 1.25 inches past full extension — so the rear hanging files clear a countertop overhang or the lip of a deep face frame. At 26 inches, this slide length suits deep file drawers and lateral cabinets where the full drawer depth needs to be accessible even when the cabinet sits under a worktop. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is well matched to that environment: a loaded lateral file can rebound when shut firmly, and the detent stops that before it starts.

Materials and Finish

The cabinet member is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in shop, office, and commercial cabinet applications. Zinc protects the steel through years of indoor service. This is not a decorative finish; it is a functional one on a member that sits inside the cabinet, largely out of sight once the drawer is installed. It is not rated for wet, outdoor, or washdown environments.

Who Orders This Member

The 8505 series is KV's file and lateral drawer line, and this left-hand cabinet member is the right choice when a replacement or a component-by-component build requires sourcing the sides independently. Cabinet shops building dedicated file pedestals, office furniture manufacturers replacing a worn cabinet member, and contractors retrofitting lateral file drawers into existing casework all order at the component level. The Q-Pack format is sized for trade and production quantities. Note the maximum recommended drawer width for the 8505 series is 30 inches, which covers virtually all standard lateral file widths. In face-frame cabinets, the rear of the slide needs support — add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, and series-specific to the 8505.

The Right Member for a Demanding File Drawer

When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the cabinet sits under an overhang, the 8505's 150 lb class rating and 1.25 inch over-travel do the work that a standard cabinet slide cannot — and the hold-in detent keeps a loaded drawer exactly where it belongs.
