Ball Bearing Slide Face Frame Brackets For Drawer Runs
Ball Bearing Slide Face Frame Brackets give you a simple way to mount ball bearing drawer slides to a cabinet face frame, so you can tie the slide directly into the frame instead of building out side panels. This Knape and Vogt bracket is designed as a front face frame bracket, so it supports the front of the slide where alignment is most critical for smooth drawer travel. The bracket uses a snap-on design, which lets the slide connect to the bracket without separate fastening steps at that interface, helping speed up repetitive installations. The bracket is non-handed, so the same part works on both the left and right sides of the opening, which keeps inventory and jobsite parts sorting straightforward. An ebony black finish lets the bracket blend into darker cabinet interiors, which reduces visual distraction when the drawer is open.
Key Details That Support Slide Mounting Work
The non-handed design means one 8404 EB bracket works on either cabinet side, simplifying planning and reducing part mixing when setting up multiple drawer openings in a run.
The snap-on design lets compatible Knape and Vogt ball bearing slides attach directly to the bracket, saving steps during installation and helping maintain consistent slide positioning.
These front face frame brackets are made for ball bearing slides, so they support the front of the slide where accurate location helps the slide track the drawer box squarely.
The ebony black finish matches dark interiors and components, so the bracket is less noticeable inside the cabinet when the drawer is extended.
The 8404 EB part is supplied by Knape and Vogt under the 8404 FACE FRAME BRACKET/BLACK description, so it aligns with catalog and plan references for this style of bracket.
Face Frame Bracket Mounting And Slide Connection
This 8404 EB front face frame bracket is made for use with Knape and Vogt ball bearing slides, so it ties directly into slide families already used in many cabinet layouts. The bracket is intended for the cabinet face frame, so it establishes the slide front position relative to the frame edge. Because the design is snap-on for the slide interface, once the bracket is fixed to the frame the compatible slide can be connected without separate alignment jigs at that front point. The non-handed layout lets you repeat the same bracket orientation on both sides of a drawer opening, so left and right slides start from a consistent front reference.
Using The 8404 EB Bracket With KV Slides
Where This Face Frame Bracket Is Applied
The Knape and Vogt 8404 EB face frame bracket is for use with specific KV ball bearing slide series, so it fits into jobs already built around those runners. The bracket is listed for use with KV8400, 8405, 8407, 8414, 8417, 8419, 8400BRV, 8450, 8454 and 8455, so it supports a range of full-extension and related ball bearing slide models in that family. Because it is a front face frame bracket, it is applied at the front of a cabinet face frame opening where the slide must line up with the drawer box. This lets the installer tie the slide directly into the face frame without first adding blocking or panel material to pick up the slide.
Why The 8404 EB Design Helps Repeatable Results
The non-handed, snap-on design of this 8404 EB bracket reduces layout differences between cabinet sides, because one bracket part handles both left and right slide positions. When used with the specified KV8400, 8405, 8407, 8414, 8417, 8419, 8400BRV, 8450, 8454 and 8455 ball bearing slides, the bracket provides a known interface, so the front of each slide engages the same way. That consistency helps keep drawer fronts aligned from opening to opening in a bank of cabinets using those slide models. The ebony black finish also lets the hardware visually recede next to matching slides and dark casework, which is useful when the cabinet design calls for hardware that does not stand out inside the opening.
