KV8405 26" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Poly-Pack - 8405P 26

Knape And Vogt 8405 Drawer Slides For Smooth Travel

Knape and Vogt 8405 drawer slides in the 26 inch length provide a side mount, ball bearing slide for drawers that need consistent, controlled travel. The 1 inch over-travel lets the drawer extend past the cabinet face, which exposes the back of the drawer for easier access in deeper cabinets or casework. A hold-in, anti-rebound function keeps the drawer from drifting back out after closing, supporting clean alignment on finished fronts. The side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the opening size, which helps installers plan cabinet case dimensions with repeatable gaps. A height of 1-13/16 inch sets the vertical space the slide needs, useful when stacking drawers or working around cutouts. The anochrome finish provides a consistent surface on the steel members, supporting a uniform appearance on visible slide edges.

Key 8405P 26 Details That Support Daily Use

• The 1 inch over-travel design lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet, which improves reach to items at the back and reduces the need to over-size drawer boxes for access.
• The ball bearing construction supports smooth motion along the slide members, which helps drawers feel consistent under load during everyday open-and-close cycles.
• The hold-in, anti-rebound feature retains the drawer in the closed position, which helps fronts stay flush on banks of drawers after users push them shut.
• The non-handed design means each slide works on either side, which simplifies inventory on the truck and reduces sorting time during installation.
• The 32 mm pattern provides a standard hole layout, which speeds layout and mounting in frameless cabinets or systems built around 32 mm boring.
• The anochrome finish creates a uniform metal surface, which is useful when slides are visible on open cabinets or workstations.

Mounting And Fit Details For 26 Inch Slides

This 26 inch ball bearing drawer slide is built as a side mount member, so it locates along the drawer sides rather than beneath the box. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the relationship between drawer width and cabinet opening, which guides sizing for both new builds and replacements. A height of 1-13/16 inch sets the vertical envelope the slide occupies, which matters when drawers are closely stacked or when clearances are tight against shelves. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, which match the slide hole design and help seat the members accurately without over-penetrating typical drawer material thicknesses.

Where 8405 Drawer Slides Fit Into Workflows

Using 26 Inch Over Travel Slides In Cabinets

The 26 inch over travel drawer slides work as side mount, ball bearing slides in cabinet and casework applications needing extra extension. The 1 inch over-travel helps bring the rear of longer drawers forward, which is useful in deeper base cabinets, tool drawers, or storage pull-outs where back items are otherwise hard to reach. With a side clearance window of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side, the 8405P 26 slide supports predictable drawer sizing across production runs, helping shops standardize drawer widths for a given opening. The 32 mm pattern ties into system drilling, so case sides with 32 mm holes can receive the slide without additional layout, which speeds up line boring workflows. The non-handed configuration allows the same slide to serve both left and right sides, which simplifies stocking and shortens picking time for installers preparing for a job. As a side mount member with a height of 1-13/16 inch, the slide fits alongside typical drawer box constructions, supporting straightforward mounting in many cabinet designs.

Features That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The 1 inch over-travel on this 8405 series slide moves the drawer slightly beyond full extension, which not only improves access but also exposes more of the slide for inspection and adjustment during setup. The hold-in, anti-rebound design helps drawers stay seated once closed, which is important in banks of drawers where front alignment affects the overall look of the installation. Lever disconnect allows the drawer member to be separated from the cabinet member, which streamlines drawer removal for adjustments or service without disturbing the cabinet-side mounting. A ball retainer latch helps keep the bearing elements in place, which supports consistent motion and reduces interruption if drawers are cycled frequently. Polymer stop cushions absorb the closing impact at the ends of travel, which can soften contact and support quieter drawer operation in finished environments. The anochrome finish gives the slide surfaces a consistent treatment, supporting a professional appearance wherever slide members are visible inside open cabinetry or work stations.
