Knape And Vogt 28 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Knape and Vogt 28 inch drawer slides in the 8405 Series provide a 1 inch over-travel action, so the drawer can extend past the cabinet face and expose the rear area, which helps installers deliver full access in deeper cabinets and casework. These side mount ball bearing slides use a 1/2 inch side clearance, plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, giving a precise target gap that supports consistent drawer sizing across a run of cabinets. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch ties into common drawer side dimensions, helping builders match this model into existing construction methods. A 32 mm pattern is built into the slide, aligning with European cabinet drilling systems and allowing straightforward layout in shops using line boring equipment. The zinc Anochrome finish on the slide components presents a uniform appearance along with a metal surface treatment suited to typical indoor cabinetry environments.

Key Details Of KV 8405 Over Travel Slides

• The 1 inch over-travel motion lets the drawer open beyond the front of the cabinet, so users can see and reach items at the back without shifting surrounding components.
• The specified 1/2 inch side clearance, plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side, defines a tight but workable tolerance that helps fabricators cut drawer boxes for a smooth running fit.
• The 1-13/16 inch slide height coordinates with many drawer side heights, which aids in keeping hardware fully concealed while still supporting the drawer side structurally.
• The 32 mm pattern on the slide aligns with standard system holes, letting shops pair these slides with line-bored case sides instead of laying out custom hole locations.
• The Anochrome finish on the metal slide members provides a consistent zinc-colored surface that suits typical shop, closet, and cabinet interiors for a unified hardware look.
• The recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head fasteners match the slide design, so installers can select a screw style that seats properly against the mounting holes.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Installation Points

These 28 inch side mount ball bearing slides are designed for applications where the slide mounts directly to the cabinet side, which suits frameless or face-frame construction that accepts side-mounted hardware. The 1/2 inch side clearance, plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch each side, sets the required gap between the drawer side and cabinet wall, guiding the cabinetmaker when sizing drawer widths so the ball bearing action runs freely. A slide height of 1-13/16 inch helps installers align the hardware along the drawer side while maintaining enough bearing surface for support. The 32 mm pattern integrates with system holes, so in production shops using 32 mm drilling, the slide locations can align with existing hole rows. Recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head fasteners work with the slide hole geometry, supporting a solid connection into the cabinet and drawer members.

Using KV 8405P 28 Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where These Non Handed Slides Are Typically Used

The Knape and Vogt 8405P 28 slides are part of the 8405 Series side mount drawer slide family, placing them in projects where installers need ball bearing slides that open smoothly along the side of the cabinet. The non-handed design allows either left or right side use from the same slide, helping shops stock a single part for both drawer sides and reduce bin complexity. With a 28 inch length, these slides suit medium to deeper cabinet drawers, such as storage drawers in casework or utility cabinets where full extension plus the 1 inch over-travel exposes the rear edge of the drawer. The 32 mm pattern connects well with European system cabinets using line-bored panels, fitting woodworking operations geared toward repeatable, metric-based layouts in kitchens, closets, and commercial casework.

Details That Support Repeatable Mounting And Removal

These KV 8405 over travel drawer slides use ball bearing construction, which supports smooth running motion along the length of the slide when the installer holds to the specified side clearances. A lever disconnect feature is built into the slide, giving installers and service crews a controlled way to separate the drawer member from the cabinet member during installation or later adjustment, which can save time during fitting or finishing stages. The ball retainer latch works with the bearings to keep the internal components located, supporting stable travel as the drawer is cycled. Polymer stop cushions are part of the design, helping the slide stop against a resilient interface inside the mechanism, which can reduce harsh metal-to-metal contact at travel limits during everyday use. Being non-handed, each slide can mount on either side, simplifying replacement work, since one 8405P 28 part number can be used for both the left and right drawer members in the installation.
