14 Inch Over-Travel Ball Bearing Drawer Slide For Drawers Under Counter Overhangs

This is a 14 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8405 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension and a hold-in anti-rebound detent. The zinc finish is the standard for this series — a durable, indoor-rated surface that disappears inside the cabinet and pairs cleanly with painted or natural wood interiors.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, clearing counter overhangs and deep face frames so rear contents are reachable.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed after a firm push, stopping bounce-back without spring assist or damping.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen or utility drawer in everyday cycling.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench.
• Ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel even when the drawer is fully loaded.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel provides reliable indoor corrosion protection that blends into the cabinet interior.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer face flush with the cabinet opening. That works fine on a freestanding cabinet with nothing above it. But when the drawer sits under a countertop overhang, a deep valance, or a face frame that sets the cabinet side back from the opening, those last few inches of the drawer stay hidden. The 8405's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer member past the nominal slide length so the back of the drawer clears the obstruction and stays within reach. It is a practical spec for kitchen base cabinets, shop benches with overhanging worktops, and utility cabinets built into a run of casework with thick face frames.

Zinc Finish and Steel Construction

The zinc plating on these slides is the segment standard for a reason. It protects cold-formed steel members through years of indoor service without adding bulk or visual noise beside the open drawer. Zinc is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet, outdoor, or high-humidity environments — this slide is built for dry interior cabinetry. The bulk-pack format suits cabinet shops running volume production, with slides shipped loose in a carton rather than individually polybagged.

Matching the Right Drawer and Cabinet

The 8405 series mounts one slide per side of the drawer box, each requiring 1/2 inch of side clearance, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. The slide is non-handed, so order the quantity your drawer count requires without sorting for left and right. In a face-frame cabinet, the slide's rear end needs support — add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, since the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. The 14 inch length suits shallower base cabinets and upper drawer banks where cabinet depth is limited. For face-frame installs in production runs, confirm bracket compatibility with the 8405 series before ordering.

A Zinc Ball Bearing Slide Built for the Workhorse Drawer

When the drawer sits under an overhang and the zinc finish is the right call for the cabinet interior, the KV 8405 in 14 inches delivers over-travel reach, a stay-closed detent, and a 100 lb rating in a non-handed steel slide that goes in fast and runs reliably.
