Zinc Finish and Full-Extension Hold-Out Built for Hands-Free Work

The Knape and Vogt 8414 series delivers a 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with a hold-out detent that keeps the drawer open at full extension until you push it closed. Sold as a poly-pack pair, it is the right choice when a drawer needs to stay out of the way while hands are busy.

Key Features

• Hold-out detent at full extension — a mechanical catch holds the drawer fully open until intentionally pushed closed, releasing with a normal push.
• Full extension — the entire drawer clears the cabinet face, putting every inch of the interior within reach.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair — handles a loaded utility, shop, or kitchen drawer in the standard duty class.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical; no left-right sorting at the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per slide — the standard fit for this segment; build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the opening.
• Poly-Pack packaging — one pair per bag, ready to pull off the shelf and install.

Where the Hold-Out Makes the Difference

Most drawers are pulled open, used, and pushed shut. The 8414 is for the cases where that sequence breaks down — a drawer that needs to stay open while both hands are occupied. Think of a shop layout tray extended over a workbench, a keyboard platform that must hold position, or a utility drawer kept open while tools are being counted in and out. The hold-out detent locks the position at full open without any lever or latch; a deliberate push releases it. No soft-close, no spring pull — just the drawer staying where you put it.

Steel Construction and Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish, the standard corrosion-resistant coating for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor service. Zinc is a working finish: it protects the steel through years of cycling without needing maintenance, and it sits beside the drawer box mostly out of sight once installed. This is not a decorative finish choice — it is the durable default for cabinetry and shop environments where the hardware is used, not displayed.

Who This Slide Fits

The 8414 series suits cabinet shops, contractors, and serious DIYers who build workbenches, utility cabinets, shop storage, or any installation where a drawer must hold its position hands-free. The 100 lb per-pair rating covers the standard duty class for kitchen, office, and shop drawers. At 20 inches, the slide fits drawers built to a matching nominal length in a cabinet with adequate interior depth. Face-frame cabinet installations require rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to support the back end of the slide — these are series-specific and not included in the poly-pack.

A Reliable Workhorse for Drawers That Need to Stay Put

When the job calls for a drawer that holds its position at full open, the 8414 series in zinc delivers that function at the standard 100 lb, 1/2 inch clearance spec — no added complexity, no finish upcharge, just the hold-out where you need it.
