Knape And Vogt 20 Inch Drawer Slides For Work Surfaces

Knape and Vogt 20 inch drawer slides 8414 Series are side mount, ball bearing slides designed to support work surfaces that need to extend fully. The full extension design lets the slide travel the full 20 inch length, so a pull-out surface can be accessed across its entire depth. The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, helping the surface stay put while in use. The unhanded side mount configuration allows the same slide model to be used on either side of the pull-out, simplifying planning around left and right orientation. The zinc finish provides a clean, uniform appearance that matches typical cabinet hardware finishes in many shop and project environments.

Key KV 8414 Hold Out Drawer Slide Details

• The 20 inch length establishes the slide travel, supporting pull-out work surfaces built around this depth so the extended surface matches the slide stroke.
• The full extension design lets the slide move out to its full 20 inch length, giving complete access to the work surface without leaving a portion recessed inside the cabinet.
• The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, which helps the surface remain stable while tasks are performed.
• The side mount configuration lets the slides register along cabinet side panels, providing a familiar installation approach for side mount drawer slide applications.
• The 8414 Series ball bearing design supports smooth guided travel along the slide members, which helps the work surface move predictably under load.
• The zinc finish provides a consistent metal surface appearance that coordinates with common cabinet hardware finishes in many shop and jobsite settings.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Fastening Details

The 20 inch length defines the cabinet depth needed to house the Knape and Vogt 8414P 20 slides, so the slide members can run their full travel. Side clearance is specified at 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, which sets the target gap between the drawer or pull-out work surface and the cabinet sides for proper slide function. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch helps determine the vertical space required along the cabinet side panel and the corresponding drawer or work surface side. The 32mm pattern is specified as present, providing hole locations aligned with systems that use the 32mm drilling standard. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head, giving an appropriate shank size and head style for anchoring the slides to typical cabinet materials.

Using The 8414P 20 Slide In Work Surface Projects

Where These Full Extension Slides Are Applied

The Knape and Vogt Model 8414 slides are specified as hold out ball bearing drawer slides designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so they are suited to pull-out tops or platforms that must stay extended while in use. The side mount drawer slide classification places them in applications where the slide members attach along the side of the cabinet and the side of the moving work surface or drawer. The 20 inch length targets projects where the cabinet interior depth and the pull-out surface are built around that dimension, such as mid-depth work stations or equipment supports. With a side clearance requirement of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, these slides are aligned with cabinet designs that can be laid out to this clearance standard.

Details That Support Repeatable Fit And Operation

The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines a clear tolerance window, helping shop layouts and machining produce repeatable fit from cabinet to cabinet. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch establishes how much vertical real estate the slide occupies, which helps in planning rail positions and clearances for adjacent hardware. The presence of a 32mm pattern allows integration with cabinet systems that use 32mm line boring, which can streamline drilling operations where that standard is already in place. The recommended #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head fasteners point to a specific fastener size and head style that suits the slide mounting holes, supporting consistent anchoring into typical substrate thicknesses. As a hold out ball bearing drawer slide, the 8414 Series is designed so the extended work surface remains locked in position, which helps reduce unintended retraction during tasks that involve pushing or leaning on the extended surface.
