This is the 28 inch drawer member for Knape and Vogt's 8400 series side-mount ball-bearing slides, sold bulk-packed for shops that stock components separately. It pairs with the matching cabinet member to build a full-extension, 100 lb rated slide in a zinc finish that blends with standard shop and production interiors.
A drawer member sold separately serves shops and installers who replace worn drawer-side components without pulling the cabinet member, stock KV 8400 parts independently on each side of the drawer, or build in volume and want bulk-format components rather than retail-bagged pairs. The 28 inch length suits deep base cabinet drawers, file drawers, and utility drawers where the box runs close to full cabinet depth. At full extension, the drawer travels its complete length clear of the cabinet face, so nothing stays hidden at the back. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is the right motion choice for drawers in active work areas: it holds the drawer closed against incidental bumps and stops the rebound snap that can follow a hard push-to-close. This is not a soft-close or self-close mechanism — the detent catches the drawer at rest, it does not slow or pull it.
The zinc finish on the 8400-92 is a functional electroplated steel finish suited to indoor cabinet interiors: it resists everyday corrosion in dry shop and residential settings and presents a neutral metallic appearance that reads as hardware rather than decoration. Cabinet members in matching zinc finish are ordered separately, giving shops the flexibility to replace one side at a time or stock each component at the quantity the job requires. Zinc-plated steel is the right call for interior dry applications; this is not rated for wet, outdoor, or washdown environments.
Cabinet shops running KV 8400 side-mount slides in production pull drawer members from bulk stock to match their cabinet member inventory without over-ordering retail packs. Dealers and millwork operations carrying the 8400 series stock both members as separate line items so field replacements ship fast. The non-handed design simplifies the bin: one part number covers left and right, which matters when a production run calls for dozens of replacements. For residential remodel work or one-at-a-time drawer builds, the 8400 series is equally at home — the 28 inch length is a common fit for standard 24 inch deep base cabinets with a full-depth drawer box.
This listing is the drawer member only — the part that attaches to the drawer box. The matching cabinet member for the 8400 series is a separate SKU. Order both members to make a working slide, one set per drawer side, two sets per drawer.
The 8400 series requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to hit that number on both sides.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer in the closed position and prevents it from bouncing back open. There is no damping — the drawer moves freely in both directions and the detent simply holds it at rest when closed.
Side-mount ball-bearing slides like the 8400 series can be used in face-frame cabinets, but the cabinet member needs rear support at the back of the cabinet. Plan for rear mounting brackets if the cabinet side does not run to full depth behind the face frame.
Stocking the 8400 drawer member in bulk keeps the production line or service bench supplied without waiting on retail packs — one consistent zinc-finish, full-extension, 100 lb component that fits either side of the drawer and pairs directly with its cabinet member counterpart.
