KV8407 12" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8407B 12

Knape And Vogt 12 Inch Drawer Slides For Shelves

Knape and Vogt 12 inch drawer slides in the 8407 Series are side mount, ball bearing slides designed as full extension shelf slides, so a 12 inch shelf or shallow drawer can travel its full length for clear access to stored items. The slides use ball bearing construction, which supports smooth movement under load for consistent performance across repeated openings. A hold-in anti-rebound feature is built into this 8407 model, helping the slide stay in the closed position to reduce unintended opening in typical cabinet use. These slides are unhanded, so the same member works on either side of the shelf, which simplifies layout for runs of cabinets using this part. The zinc finish gives a clean, neutral look that suits general shop, cabinet, or storage applications where visible hardware needs to stay understated.

Practical Details That Support Shelf Slide Layout

• The 8407B 12 slide has a listed length of 12 inches, which suits shallow drawers or pull-out shelves where a 12 inch travel matches the cabinet depth for straightforward planning.
• Side clearance is specified at 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 each side, which defines the case opening width needed so the slide tracks align properly with the shelf or drawer sides.
• The slide height is 1-13/16 inches, which helps in checking stack-ups where multiple slides share a cabinet side and space between pull-outs must be balanced.
• The 8407 model uses a 32mm pattern, which ties directly into system-bored cabinet sides and speeds layout on casework already drilled on the 32mm grid.
• A lever disconnect feature is built into this slide, so the moving member can be separated from the cabinet member to simplify installing or removing the shelf or drawer during fitting.
• The slide is described as side mount, which sets it up for applications where the slide tracks fasten to cabinet sides rather than under-mount or center-mount arrangements.

Side Mount, 32mm Pattern, And Fastener Choices

This Knape and Vogt 8407B 12 slide is a side mount design, so it fastens along the cabinet side walls and the moving member fastens to the shelf or drawer side, giving a direct transfer of load between the cabinet and the pull-out. The 32mm pattern on the slide aligns with system holes in cabinet sides, which reduces layout time when working with European-style case construction. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, providing a specific screw size and head style that matches the slide holes for a snug mechanical connection. The lever disconnect allows the installer to remove the intermediate member during installation, which provides better access for driving screws in tight cabinet interiors.

Using 8407B 12 Full Extension Slides In Projects

Where These 12 Inch Slides Fit Best

Knape and Vogt 8407B 12 full extension slides are described as shelf slides, which suits pull-out shelves or trays in cabinets where a 12 inch length is appropriate for the interior depth. The side mount configuration positions the slides directly on cabinet sides, matching standard case construction where sides provide the structural support. With 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 side clearance on each side, these slides work in openings sized so the shelf or drawer width matches the specified clearance for smooth running. The 1-13/16 inch height helps in designs with multiple pull-out levels, where slide spacing must allow for the slide height and the thickness of the shelves. The zinc finish pairs well with general cabinet interiors or shop fixtures, providing a neutral appearance alongside standard hardware in storage or workroom environments.

Details That Support Repeatable Installation Results

The 32mm pattern on the 8407 Series slide matches common system hole spacing, so installers working with pre-bored cabinet sides can use the pattern to position slides consistently from cabinet to cabinet. The lever disconnect feature lets the moving member separate from the cabinet member, which provides clear access to screw locations and supports a more controlled fit when aligning the shelf or drawer. Full extension travel means the moving member carries the shelf out to the full 12 inch length of the slide, which brings the shelf contents forward and reduces reach to the back of the cabinet. The hold-in anti-rebound design helps the slide remain closed once pushed in, which is useful for cabinets that see frequent use where a predictable closed position is important. Ball bearing construction supports smooth travel along the slide length, which contributes to a consistent feel when multiple pull-outs in a project all run on the same 8407B 12 model.
