Knape And Vogt 14 Inch Drawer Slides For Precise Travel

Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slides provide 1 inch over-travel, so the drawer opens past the cabinet front and exposes more of the drawer box for easier access during use and installation checks. The 8405 series ball bearing design supports smooth travel, which helps reduce sticking when drawers are loaded in everyday cabinet applications. Side mount configuration keeps the slide out of the drawer interior, preserving usable width for storage layouts. The unhanded design lets the same member work on either side, simplifying layout and reducing part sorting during installation on site or in the shop. An anochrome finish gives the slides a uniform appearance that matches other Knape and Vogt components visually across a run of cabinets.

Working Details That Support Drawer Performance

• The 1 inch over-travel feature lets the drawer clear the cabinet face, which improves access to contents and makes it easier to view hardware alignment along the slide members.
• A ball bearing design carries the moving load along hardened bearings, which reduces friction during opening and closing for smoother drawer motion.
• The 8405 series slide is non-handed, so one model number serves left and right sides and streamlines inventory and jobsite setup.
• Side mount installation places the hardware on the cabinet sides, preserving the drawer bottom area for storage and simplifying drawer box construction.
• The anochrome finish on the slide members creates a consistent, neutral metallic appearance that coordinates with typical cabinet hardware finishes.

Side Mount Fit, Clearances, And Fastener Use

These side mount drawer slides are designed for side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, so drawer box widths can be planned to hold a steady running clearance in cabinets. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch sets the minimum space needed along the drawer side, guiding drawer side height and notch layout. A 32 mm pattern is provided, which supports drilling systems set up around the 32 mm cabinet standard. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, so installers can match drill size and drive tooling to that screw style when attaching the members to cabinet and drawer.

Using KV 8405 Slides In Cabinet Builds

Where These 14 Inch Over Travel Slides Fit Best

The KV 8405 14 inch drawer slides are part of the 8405 series, so they align with projects already using that model family for consistent function. The 14 inch length suits cabinet openings that require that runner length, which supports straightforward planning around carcass depth. A 32 mm pattern on the slide allows alignment with system holes in frameless or system-based cabinetry, improving repeatability when installing multiple drawers in a bank. The side mount configuration works within standard cabinet side panels, keeping the hardware aligned along the cabinet interior and leaving the drawer bottom free for storage.

Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side provides a clear dimension target when sizing drawer boxes, which helps produce drawers that slide without binding once installed. The unhanded design lets installers pull from one supply of slides for both left and right sides, which simplifies job staging. An anochrome finish maintains a clean, neutral look inside cabinets, which helps the hardware visually blend with typical metal components used in woodworking projects.

Details That Support Reliable Drawer Operation

The 1 inch over-travel on these drawer slides moves the drawer past the cabinet front, which exposes more of the drawer interior and makes it easier to access items near the back. A lever disconnect feature helps separate drawer and cabinet members, which can speed drawer removal and reinstallation during fitting or service. A ball retainer latch helps keep the bearing retainer in position, which supports consistent travel over the life of the drawer motion. Polymer stop cushions are built into the design, providing a cushioned stop at the end of travel that softens the closing contact.

The ball bearing design in the 8405 series slide supports smooth motion under typical drawer loads, which can reduce resistance when opening and closing. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch gives a clear dimension for notching or positioning along the drawer side, supporting accurate fabrication. The non-handed construction reduces the chance of mixing left and right parts, which can streamline assembly on production runs or during field retrofits using the same 8405B 14 model.
