KV 8400 24" Side Mount Full Extension Drawer Slide Ebony Black Polybag Knape and Vogt 8400P EB 24

Black Ball Bearing Drawer Slides for Clean, Professional Cabinet Interiors

The Knape & Vogt 8400 Series is a full-extension, 100 lb ball-bearing side-mount drawer slide that pairs dependable performance with a Black finish — keeping the hardware from drawing attention inside dark-interior cabinets, shop casework, and office furniture where a zinc or white slide would stand out.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening, so everything stored inside is reachable at the face.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded utility, tool, and storage drawers in demanding shop and office settings.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed until intentionally pulled — no drift, no bounce-back after a firm close.
• Ball-bearing telescopic movement delivers smooth, consistent travel under load through the life of the installation.
• Black finish on steel gives the slide a low-visibility profile inside black, dark-stained, or charcoal cabinet interiors.
• Non-handed side mount means the same slide installs on either side — no left/right ordering to sort before the job starts.

Where This Slide Earns Its Place

This is a practical, workhorse slide for any application where both load capacity and finish visibility matter. In shop cabinets and tool storage, the Black finish blends into the interior instead of reflecting light against a dark melamine or painted panel. In office and commercial casework — file pedestals, credenzas, lateral file bases — Black hardware reads as intentional rather than incidental. The 100 lb per pair capacity handles a loaded file drawer, a full run of hand tools, or a pantry pull-out without strain. Full extension means no reaching to the back of a deep drawer; every inch of the box comes out to the cabinet face.

Steel, Finish, and Durability

The 8400 Series runs on steel ball bearings in formed steel raceways, the standard bearing system for side-mount telescopic slides and the right choice for drawers that cycle daily under load. The Black finish is applied to the steel members and suits indoor, dry environments. These slides are not rated for wet, washdown, or outdoor use — for corrosion-resistant service, a stainless-steel slide is the right call. The 24 inch length requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide, so size the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. Slides are sold as a poly-pack pair.

Who This Is For

Custom cabinet shops finishing dark interiors will find the Black slide the natural choice over zinc or white when the goal is a cohesive look inside the box. Contractors specifying commercial office furniture or black-finish shop casework can run this slide across a whole project without mixing hardware colors. Home-shop builders and serious woodworkers who want a consistent, professional interior on their bench or tool cabinet will appreciate the combination of 100 lb capacity, full extension, and a finish that stays out of the way. It fits equally well in frameless and face-frame cabinets — just add rear mounting brackets for face-frame installs where the cabinet side is set back from the frame.
