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

Zinc Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built to Stay Closed

The Knape & Vogt 8407 Series is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 100 lb per pair, finished in zinc, and packed in bulk quantities for cabinet shops working through volume. A hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps each drawer shut until pulled, eliminating bounce-back in busy kitchens, offices, and utility cabinets.

Key Features

• Hold-in anti-rebound detent — a mechanical catch holds the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open when shut firmly.
• Full extension — the intermediate member carries the drawer completely clear of the cabinet face so the entire interior is reachable.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair — handles a loaded kitchen, office, or utility drawer with room to spare.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical, fitting either side without sorting on the bench.
• Zinc finish on cold-rolled steel — a durable indoor corrosion-resistant finish standard to this segment.
• Bulk-Pack packaging — loose in a carton for shops pulling pairs by the case rather than one bag at a time.

Where the Stay-Closed Detent Earns Its Keep

Shallow drawers — the 12 inch slide length suits cabinet depths in the 12 to 14 inch range — get opened and closed repeatedly throughout a workday. In spice pullouts, bathroom vanity drawers, small utility cabinets, and desk pedestals, a drawer that rebounds an inch after closing is a persistent annoyance. The hold-in anti-rebound detent on the 8407 addresses exactly that: once the drawer is pushed shut, it stays there until intentionally pulled. There is no spring assist and no damper involved — the detent simply holds position. For environments where drawers must not drift or rebound (shop benches, mobile carts, office pedestals), this is the feature that earns its keep over a plain free-sliding slide of the same length and rating.

Steel, Zinc, and Indoor Service

The 8407 slide members are cold-rolled steel with an electroplated zinc finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides: it protects against the moisture and handling of everyday indoor use and keeps the steel members sliding cleanly over years of cycling. The finish is functional rather than decorative — the slide sits beside the open drawer box where it is visible but not the focal point. This is an indoor finish; it is not stainless and is not rated for wet, exterior, or washdown environments.

Who Orders the 8407 in Zinc, Bulk

Cabinet shops running production kitchens, vanities, and office furniture specify the 8407 zinc bulk pack when they want a dependable 100 lb full-extension slide with a stay-closed detent at a volume price point. The 12 inch length fits shallow upper cabinets, desk pedestals, nightstands, and utility drawers where a longer slide would overhang the cabinet interior. The non-handed design means one SKU covers every opening on a run — no left-right sorting, no mismatched pairs. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a kitchen or bath will find the same attributes useful; the bulk carton simply means extra pairs on the shelf for the next project.

The Right Slide for Drawers That Stay Where You Put Them

A 12 inch full-extension zinc slide with a hold-in anti-rebound detent covers a specific need: shallow, frequently used drawers that must stay closed between uses, ordered in quantity for production work. The 8407 bulk pack fills that role without overbuilding for the job.
