The Knape and Vogt C-302-01 is a right-hand rear mounting socket for the 1805 series drawer slide program, designed to anchor the back end of a side-mount slide in a face-frame cabinet where the cabinet side sits behind the face frame. Screw-on plastic construction keeps installation straightforward, and the socket's 5mm pin engages the slide's rear fitting at a 48mm mounting depth. Sold in a box of 500.
In a face-frame cabinet, the cabinet side panel is set back from the front frame, which means a side-mount slide has no rear wall support at the correct depth without a dedicated mounting solution. This rear socket bridges that gap: it screws to the back of the cabinet and receives the rear end of the 1805 series slide, holding it parallel to the drawer box and level across its full length. Without rear support, the back of the slide can sag or shift under load, which causes uneven drawer travel and premature wear on the slide members. The right-hand socket positions the rear fitting on the correct side of the drawer opening — pairing it with the left-hand version (sold separately) completes both sides of one drawer.
The socket is molded plastic, which is the right material for this role: it will not corrode, adds negligible weight to the assembly, and will not scratch the cabinet interior during installation. For indoor cabinet work in dry environments, plastic rear sockets are the standard choice across the industry. The screw-on design means the socket stays put under normal drawer loads without relying on press-fit retention that can loosen over time in production furniture.
Production cabinet shops running face-frame lines are the core buyer here. A box of 500 covers a substantial run of drawers without a reorder interruption. Installers retrofitting side-mount slides into existing face-frame cabinetry also reach for this socket when the original rear support hardware is missing or damaged. Because the C-302-01 is a 1805 series component, it belongs in any workflow already standardized on that KV slide program — substituting a generic bracket risks misalignment at the rear of the slide.
You need two per drawer — one right-hand and one left-hand socket. The C-302-01 covers the right side only. Order the matching left-hand socket separately to support both slide members.
The C-302-01 is engineered for the 1805 series. Rear sockets and brackets are series-specific in the KV program, so do not assume it will seat correctly on a different series slide without confirming the rear fitting geometry matches.
No. In a frameless cabinet, slides mount directly to the flat cabinet side and do not need rear sockets. Rear mounting sockets are a face-frame solution, used when the slide's back end needs independent support away from the cabinet side panel.
Yes. The C-302-01 is a right-hand-only SKU. Order the left-hand socket as a separate line item to stock both orientations for a complete face-frame install program.
Stocking both right-hand and left-hand rear sockets in production quantities means the back end of every face-frame drawer is supported correctly from the first install, with no mid-run sourcing delays slowing the shop down.
