14 Inch Full-Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slide for Standard Cabinet Work

The Knape and Vogt 8407 series is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide, rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer shut after closing. The zinc finish is the workhorse choice for indoor cabinet and utility drawer installations where a clean, durable finish blends into the cabinet interior without drawing attention.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, making the back of the drawer fully reachable.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles loaded kitchen, shop, and office drawers with margin to spare.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• Ball bearing construction delivers smooth, consistent travel across the full 14 inch slide length.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left-right sorting on the bench.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance on a slide that installs beside the drawer box.

Where the 14 Inch Length Fits

A 14 inch slide pairs naturally with shallower drawers: spice pull-outs, bathroom vanity drawers, nightstand drawers, desk pedestals, and utility cabinet drawers where a longer slide would leave wasted depth behind the box. Full extension means the whole drawer clears the cabinet face at once, so nothing gets buried at the back of a shallow pull-out. The hold-in detent earns its keep in shop and garage cabinets where drawers can drift or bounce open from vibration or a hard close.

Materials and Finish

The slide is formed from steel with a zinc plated finish — the standard surface for side-mount ball bearing slides intended for dry, indoor service. Zinc protects the steel members through years of daily cycling without the added cost of specialty coatings. It is a functional finish: it handles use well and sits beside the open drawer mostly out of sight. This is an indoor slide; for damp, wet, or exterior environments, specify a stainless finish instead.

Who Orders the Bulk-Pack

The Bulk-Pack format is sized for cabinet shops and contractors running production volume — drawers are bought by the box, not one pair at a time. The non-handed design keeps bin pulls simple: one part number covers every drawer in the run regardless of which side the slide mounts on. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the segment standard, so the drawer box formula stays the same across the job. In face-frame cabinets, plan for rear mounting brackets to support the slide's back end; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.

The Right Slide for Indoor Production Work

The 8407 series in zinc delivers reliable full-extension travel, a stay-closed detent, and a 100 lb rating in a non-handed bulk format that keeps production moving without extra sorting or special finishes.
