KV8414 14" Full Extension Hold-Out Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Poly-Pack - 8414P 14
Description
Knape And Vogt 14 Inch Drawer Slides For Work Surfaces
Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slides use full extension ball bearing runners so the slide travels the complete 14 inch length, giving clear access to the work surface or pull-out it supports. The 8414 series is unhanded and side mount, so the same slide installs on either side of the cabinet, simplifying layout and stocking for repeat projects. A hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so a pull-out work top or equipment shelf stays out while in use. The zinc finish covers the slide members, providing a clean, bright surface that suits typical shop and cabinet interiors. As part of the 8414 series from Knape and Vogt, these slides align with standard side-mount drawer slide practices for woodworking and casework jobs.
Key 8414P 14 Details That Support Daily Use
- The full extension design lets the slide travel its entire 14 inch length, so the supported work surface or pull-out can be used across its full depth without hidden areas.
- The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, keeping a pull-out top or shelf stable while work or equipment use is underway.
- The unhanded side mount configuration means each member can mount on either side of the cabinet, reducing part variation and helping installations stay consistent on multiple units.
- The zinc finish on the slide members offers a smooth, metallic surface that performs well inside cabinets and workstations where corrosion resistance and clean appearance are important.
- The ball bearing construction forms a rolling interface between slide members, supporting smooth extension and retraction as the work surface is moved in and out.
Mounting And Clearances For The 8414P 14 Slides
The 8414P 14 uses a side mount layout, so each slide fastens to the cabinet side and the drawer or pull-out member. Side clearance is 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, giving a defined fit range for the drawer or work surface width relative to the cabinet opening. The slide height is 1-13/16 inch, which sets how much vertical space the slide occupies along the cabinet side and informs notch or clearance cuts. The 32mm pattern is listed as yes, aligning the slide with a 32mm system layout where rows of holes govern hardware positioning in casework.
Using KV 8414 Side Mount Drawer Slides In Projects
Where These 14 Inch Slides Fit Best
The 14 inch length works well where a moderate-depth pull-out is needed, such as a compact work surface or equipment shelf. Because the slides are full extension, that 14 inch length translates directly to the usable travel, making it suitable for shallower cabinets that still need full reach. The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so applications such as pull-out worktops or laptop platforms can remain deployed during use without drifting. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side gives a cabinetmaker a defined build dimension for the pull-out width to achieve proper running clearance. The 1-13/16 inch height indicates the vertical envelope of the slide, which influences where to position mounting holes along the case side in relation to shelves or stretchers.
Details That Support Repeatable Alignment And Results
The 32mm pattern marked yes ties these slides into a 32mm cabinet system, so hole rows set on that spacing can be used to position the slides consistently from cabinet to cabinet. The unhanded side mount design means the same 8414 series slide installs on either left or right, reducing part sorting and helping maintain symmetry in the layout. Ball bearing construction supports smooth motion during extension and retraction, which helps drawers or work surfaces move predictably when aligned to the specified side clearance. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head, giving a clear screw size and head style that matches the slide hole pattern for secure mounting. The zinc finish presents a neutral metallic surface that works well visually in most cabinet interiors while also providing coated steel members in typical woodworking environments. Together, these details help installers repeat the same mounting, clearances, and performance on multiple units using the 8414P 14 model.
