Zinc Ball Bearing Over-Travel Slide for Deep Drawers and Counter Overhangs

This is a 28 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 that carries the drawer past the cabinet face and a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps it shut once closed. Sold in bulk packaging, it suits shops and production environments running multiple drawers at the same depth.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel pushes the drawer beyond full extension, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face frames.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed and prevents bounce-back after a firm push shut.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles loaded kitchen, shop, and utility drawers with confidence.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left-right sorting at the bench.
• Zinc-finished steel construction provides standard indoor corrosion resistance across the slide's service life.
• Bulk packaging keeps per-unit cost down for cabinet shops and contractors running multiple drawer installs.

Where Over-Travel and a Hold-In Detent Work Together

A 28 inch slide already reaches deep into the cabinet run, and the extra inch of over-travel closes the gap when a countertop overhang or thick face frame would otherwise block the rear of the drawer. That last inch makes reaching the back of a deep pantry drawer or a utility cabinet straightforward rather than a stretch. The hold-in detent complements the travel: once the drawer is pushed shut, the mechanical catch holds it in place without spring assist and without a damper. The drawer stays closed until pulled, which matters on a loaded utility or shop drawer that gets closed firmly rather than eased shut. These two features address opposite ends of the drawer's travel — one extends how far it opens, the other secures it at the closed end.

Steel, Zinc, and the Bulk-Pack Format

The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish, the standard combination for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor cabinet work. Zinc plating protects the steel members through years of repeated use in kitchens, workshops, and office furniture — it is a durable functional finish, not a decorative one. The bulk-pack format ships pairs loose in the carton, which makes it the practical choice for production runs rather than single-drawer repairs. Side clearance is 1/2 inch per side, consistent with every other slide in the 8405 family, so the drawer box width formula does not change when this length is substituted for a shorter one.

Sizing and Installation Fit

The 28 inch length suits deep base cabinets and full-depth utility drawers where standard 22 or 24 inch slides fall short. At this length, the over-travel feature is especially useful because a deeper drawer often runs under a worktop with overhang. In face-frame cabinets, the rear of the slide needs support; add the matching KV series rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to carry the slide's back end off the face frame. In frameless cabinets, the slide mounts directly to the interior side panel on the 32mm system hole pattern. The non-handed orientation means no separate left and right inventory to manage, which simplifies ordering on multi-drawer jobs.

The Right Slide for Deep Drawers That Need to Stay Put

When the drawer run is 28 inches deep, an overhang is in the way, and the contents need to stay where they are left, the 8405 series in zinc delivers the reach, the clearance, and the hold-in detent to do the job — in a bulk-pack format built for production volume.
