Zinc-Finished Over-Travel Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Deep Cabinet Work

The Knape and Vogt 8405 series is a 26 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with over-travel extension and a hold-in anti-rebound detent, rated 100 lb per pair and finished in zinc. It is built for drawers that need to clear countertop overhangs or deep face frames while staying put once closed.

Key Features

• 1 inch of over-travel past full extension pushes the drawer beyond the cabinet face, clearing overhanging worktops and deep face frames.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer from bouncing back open after a firm close — no spring, no damper, just a mechanical catch.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen, utility, or shop drawer at this length.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel members provides indoor corrosion resistance with a low-profile appearance beside the drawer box.
• Non-handed design means the same slide fits either side of the drawer, with no left/right sorting during installation.
• Poly-Pack packaging delivers one pair per bag with mounting hardware, ready for the bench.

Where the Over-Travel Distance Does Its Job

A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face. In an open kitchen with a countertop that overhangs the drawer stack, or in a face-frame cabinet with a deep stile, the back of a long drawer can stay just out of reach. The 8405's 1 inch of over-travel solves that: the drawer member travels past the slide's nominal length so the rear contents clear the overhang and become reachable. At 26 inches, this slide is particularly well suited to deep base cabinet drawers — the longer the drawer, the more an inch of extra clearance matters at the back. The hold-in anti-rebound detent complements the over-travel action: a loaded drawer pushed shut firmly stays shut instead of rolling back open across the extra travel range.

Steel Construction and Zinc Finish

The 8405 is built from cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in cabinet and shop environments. Zinc plating protects the steel members through years of indoor service and handles the humidity and temperature variation common in a kitchen or woodshop. The finish is functional and low-key; the slides sit beside the drawer box and are not a decorative element. This is an indoor finish — not rated for exterior, wet, or washdown environments.

The Right Drawer for This Slide

The 8405 at 26 inches suits cabinet shops and contractors running deep base cabinet drawers in residential kitchens, utility rooms, and shop cabinetry. The 100 lb per-pair rating covers pots-and-pans drawers, hardware drawers, and loaded utility pull-outs without stepping up to a file-class slide. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the standard for this format: build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, the back of the slide needs rear mounting support — add the appropriate KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to complete the installation. Frameless cabinets mount directly on the 32mm system hole pattern with no added hardware.

A Reliable Slide for Deep Drawers That Need to Clear the Overhang

The KV 8405 in zinc brings over-travel reach and a stay-closed detent to deep drawer installations where a standard full-extension slide leaves the back contents just out of reach. One pair per drawer, 100 lb rated, and non-handed throughout.
