KV 8900 26" Side Mount Full Extension Slide Zinc Polybag Knape and Vogt 8900P 26

26 Inch Full Extension Drawer Slides Built for Serious Loads

This is a 26 inch, full-extension ball-bearing side-mount drawer slide from KV's 8900 series, finished in zinc and rated at 500 lb per pair — a capacity that puts it in a different class from standard cabinet slides. Sold as a poly-pack pair, it suits industrial shop drawers, garage cabinets, equipment storage, and any built-in where a kitchen-class slide simply cannot carry the load.

Key Features

• 500 lb weight capacity per pair — well above the standard 100 lb kitchen class, built to handle tool chests, parts bins, and loaded utility drawers.
• Full extension — the drawer travels its full length, bringing the entire contents out to the cabinet face for complete access.
• Ball-bearing movement — steel ball bearings in formed raceways deliver smooth, controlled travel under load, cycle after cycle.
• Zinc finish — electroplated zinc over steel provides corrosion resistance for indoor service in demanding environments like garages and shops.
• Non-handed side mount — the same slide installs on either side, which simplifies ordering and eliminates the risk of a mismatched handed pair.
• Standard motion — no soft-close or self-close mechanism, so the drawer stays exactly where it is left and nothing interferes with heavy-pull access.

Where This Slide Does Its Best Work

The 8900 is the right call when drawer contents are measured in pounds rather than ounces. Shop environments put demands on slides that a 100 lb kitchen pair cannot meet: a drawer full of hand tools, a bin of fasteners sorted by size, a roll-out tray under a workbench loaded with clamps. At 500 lb per pair, this slide handles those loads without complaint. The 26 inch length suits deep base cabinets and shop drawer banks where a shorter slide would leave drawer depth wasted. Full extension means nothing stays buried in the back — the entire drawer comes out to the work line.

Zinc Finish in a Shop Context

Zinc plating is the workhorse finish of the hardware trade: it protects the steel against rust and surface corrosion through years of indoor service, holds up to the occasional grease-covered hand or the moisture of an unconditioned garage, and does it without adding cost or visual weight. It is a functional choice, not a decorative one — the slide disappears inside the drawer bank, doing its job without being noticed. For genuinely wet or washdown environments, stainless is the right material. For indoor shop, garage, and commercial casework that stays dry, zinc covers the job.

Who Orders the 8900 Series

Cabinet shops building heavy-duty storage for clients, contractors fitting out commercial spaces and utility rooms, and serious makers upgrading their own shop furniture all reach for the 8900 when load capacity is the primary specification. The 3/4 inch side clearance per side is standard for ball-bearing side-mount slides — size the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to give each slide its required clearance. Non-handed members mean the shop can stock one SKU and install without sorting left from right.
