KV 8400 100-Pair Box 20" Hold-In/Anti-Rebound Side Mount Full Extension 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 8400-92 20

A Zinc Ball Bearing Drawer Member Built for High-Volume Cabinet Work

This is the 20 inch drawer member from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, a full-extension side-mount ball bearing slide rated 100 lb per pair, finished in zinc, and sold as a Bulk-Pack drawer member for shops ordering at production volume. It pairs with the matching 8400 series cabinet member to form a complete slide set.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, so nothing at the back goes out of reach.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed after a firm push and prevents it from bouncing back open.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles loaded kitchen, office, and utility drawers through daily use.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance on steel members built for years of service.
• Non-handed design means the same drawer member fits either the left or right side, cutting sorting time on the bench.
• Bulk-Pack format ships loose in carton quantities sized for production cabinet shops rather than single-drawer retail work.

Where This Slide Fits the Job

The KV 8400 series is the workhorse side-mount ball bearing line for kitchen, office, and utility cabinet production. Full extension is the right call whenever the buyer needs to reach the back of the drawer without pulling it — pots-and-pans drawers, tool drawers, file pullouts, and pantry boxes all benefit. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a practical advantage in shop and office settings: the drawer stays put when pushed shut, rather than springing back toward the open position under a firm close. This is not a soft-close or self-close slide — there is no damper and no spring assist — the detent simply holds the drawer in place until it is pulled.

Material and Finish

The drawer member is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the standard corrosion-resistant coating for interior cabinetry hardware. Zinc is a functional finish: it protects the steel through years of indoor use and holds up to the cleaning that kitchen and utility drawers see. It is not a decorative or stainless finish, and this slide is rated for dry indoor environments. The slide sits beside the open drawer box and is visible in use, but the zinc tone blends well with the metal interior hardware common in production cabinets.

Who Orders the Drawer Member Separately

The 8400 series ships cabinet members and drawer members as separate Bulk-Pack line items, so shops can stock and replenish each component on its own cycle. A cabinet shop running a high volume of identical drawer boxes may burn through drawer members at a different rate than cabinet members — ordering them independently avoids overstocking either component. The non-handed design means one SKU covers both sides of the drawer, so a single bulk carton serves the whole production run. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch side clearance for each slide. In face-frame cabinet applications, the matching series rear mounting brackets are required at the back of the cabinet to support the slide; those brackets are sold separately.
