This is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape & Vogt's 8400 series, finished in White and rated 100 lb per pair. The White finish blends into painted wood, white melamine, and light-colored cabinet interiors so the hardware disappears when the drawer is open.
A 12 inch slide suits shallow drawers: spice pull-outs, bathroom vanity drawers, small base cabinet drawers, and utility drawers in narrow cabinets. Full extension matters more in short drawers than in long ones — at 12 inches, the difference between full and 3/4 extension is the difference between seeing the back of the drawer and digging for it. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is especially useful in lighter drawers that can rebound when closed firmly; the detent keeps things shut until intentionally pulled.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a White finish applied over the members. This is a functional coating that matches common white melamine cabinet interiors and painted boxes — it is not a decorative chrome or stainless finish. Side-mount ball bearing slides are visible beside the open drawer box, so a finish that blends into the interior matters where cabinet aesthetics count. For indoor cabinetry use; zinc-plated or painted steel slides in this format are not rated for wet or outdoor environments.
Cabinet shops building vanity or bathroom furniture in white melamine will find this slide the natural match — no color contrast against the box side. Designers specifying handle-less or minimalist kitchens with white interiors can call it out by series and finish. Homeowners replacing worn slides in a white-cabinet kitchen can order by the pair. The Bulk-Pack format is aimed at production shops going through multiple pairs per job; the non-handed design means one SKU covers both sides of every drawer, simplifying the pick list. Pair this slide with the matching KV rear mounting brackets (sold separately) when installing in face-frame cabinets.
Twelve inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension model, the drawer travels approximately its full length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face — those are two separate facts, and full extension is what makes them nearly equal here.
The finish is a baked coating over steel, standard for this product class and durable under normal indoor cabinet use. It is not a plated or anodized finish, so it can show wear at high-contact points over time, the same as any painted hardware.
No. The hold-in detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed once you push it shut and prevents it from bouncing back open. It does not pull the drawer closed on its own and there is no damper — this is not a self-close or soft-close slide. The drawer stays where you leave it.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side. Order by quantity, not by handedness.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. That is the standard clearance for this product family.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the frame face, so you will need rear mounting brackets at the back of the slide for proper support. KV rear brackets for the 8400 series are sold separately and are series-specific.
Matching hardware finish to cabinet interior is one of the small details that separates a finished job from a careful one. The 8400 series White slide brings full extension and a 100 lb rating to short, shallow drawers where both the performance and the color matter.
