KV1805 22" 3/4 Extension Self-Close Epoxy Coated Euro Slides, Left Hand Side Mount White Q-Pack - 1805-97 WH 550

Knape And Vogt 1805 Drawer Slides For 22 Inch Drawers

Knape and Vogt 1805 drawer slides provide a 22 inch, 3/4 extension travel, so the drawer opens far enough for access while keeping part of the slide engaged for support. The side mount design positions the 1805 Series on the cabinet side, matching common side-mount construction on many shop and production cabinets. A side clearance of 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus on each side sets a clear target for cabinet and drawer sizing, which helps installers cut and assemble drawer boxes to a repeatable width. The 35.5 mm height works with many standard drawer side heights, keeping the slide profile low along the drawer sidewall. The white epoxy coated finish gives a consistent appearance in light interiors. The self-closing design pulls the drawer closed at the end of travel, which keeps drawers from drifting open in everyday use. The positive double-out stop holds the drawer at the designed extension, supporting contents without over-travel.

Key 1805-97 WH 550 Euro Slide Details

• The 3/4 extension function on this 1805 Series slide lets drawers open most of the way while keeping part of the slide nested, which supports the load and helps maintain smooth travel under normal use.
• A side clearance of 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus on each side gives a specific gap for drawer construction, reducing trial-and-error fitting when building or installing multiple drawer boxes in a run.
• The 35.5 mm slide height keeps the member profile compact along the drawer side, leaving more usable drawer side height for storage while still giving solid vertical bearing surfaces.
• The white epoxy coated finish provides a uniform, light-colored surface along the slide members, blending with white or light cabinet interiors for a clean, consistent look in finished casework.
• The self-closing design engages near the end of travel to pull the drawer tight, which helps drawers stay shut so fronts sit flush in cabinets used in shops, kitchens, or storage areas.
• A positive double-out stop keeps the drawer from pulling past the designed opening point, helping protect the slide from over-extension and reducing the chance of drawers being pulled free under use.

Mounting And 32 Mm Pattern Installation Details

This Knape and Vogt 1805 Series slide uses a side mount configuration, so the members fasten directly to the cabinet side and drawer side where side-mount layouts are already planned. The 32 mm pattern on the slide aligns with 32 mm system drilling, tying directly into line-bored cabinet sides and saving layout time during production. Recommended fasteners are #6 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, so installers can match bit type and screw length to the slide design and typical cabinet side materials. The lift out disconnect feature lets the drawer member disengage from the cabinet member, which simplifies fitting, finishing, and later removal when adjustments or service are required.

Using 1805-97 WH 550 Euro Slides In Cabinet Runs

Where This 3/4 Extension Euro Slide Fits Best

The SAP description identifies this product as a 22 inch left hand drawer member in white with 3/4 extension, so it serves as the left-hand side component within a Knape and Vogt 1805 Series installation. Being a side mount drawer slide, it works in cabinets built for side-mounted hardware where the case sides provide the structural mounting surface. The 32 mm pattern lets this member integrate into European-style frameless cabinets that use line-bored holes, which is common in commercial shops using system drilling. The self-closing design suits cabinets where drawers see frequent use and benefit from automatic pull-in at the end of travel, such as shop storage, utility cabinets, or residential casework built on a Euro platform.

Details That Support Consistent Drawer Installations

The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus each side gives a narrow tolerance band, which helps maintain consistent reveal and alignment across a bank of drawers when all boxes are cut to the same width. The 35.5 mm height and side mount format help keep slide placement predictable along the case side, simplifying jig setups in repeat work. The lift out disconnect allows installers to mount the cabinet member and drawer member, then separate them for finishing or adjustments without disturbing screw locations. The positive double-out stop works with the 3/4 extension to define a clear, repeatable open position that protects the members from being pulled apart under normal use. The white epoxy coated finish on this 1805 Series component presents a smooth, light-colored surface along the slide path, which works well in white interiors where visible hardware is part of the finished appearance.
