The Knape & Vogt 8404 is a front-mount face frame bracket for the KV 8400 series drawer slide, sold in a 100-pack. It bridges the gap between the slide and the face frame front, giving installers the correct front support position without extra fabrication.
Face frame cabinets set the cabinet side back from the front opening, which means the front end of a side-mount slide needs a bracket to bridge that gap and stay in plane. The 8404 handles that front support point for the 8400 series. It is the part that makes a standard KV 8400 slide work in a face frame box without shimming or custom blocking. Cabinet shops running production face frame lines and contractors retrofitting slides into existing frames both reach for this bracket when the 8400 is the specified slide.
Zinc electroplating over steel gives the bracket corrosion resistance suited to dry interior cabinetry and a neutral tone that blends with zinc-plated 8400 slide members. The finish is a functional choice rather than a decorative one — these brackets are hidden inside the cabinet once the drawer is in — but the matched zinc surface keeps the assembly looking consistent if the cabinet is ever inspected or serviced. This bracket is for indoor cabinet work; it is not rated for exterior or high-humidity environments.
The 100-pack is the right unit for cabinet shops that run face frame production work with the KV 8400 slide as a standard. A single pack covers 50 drawers — two brackets per drawer — which maps to a mid-size production run without carrying excess inventory. Installers working service calls or smaller remodels may find the quantity generous, but having extras on hand prevents a second trip for a common accessory. The bracket is series-specific to the 8400: if the slides on a job are from a different KV family or a different brand, this bracket does not transfer.
You need two brackets per drawer — one on each side — so a 100-pack covers 50 drawers.
It is built for the 8400 series specifically. Do not mix it with other KV series or other brands — bracket geometry is series-matched and the parts are not interchangeable.
The 8404 is the front bracket. Check the KV 8400 installation specification for whether a rear bracket or rear socket is also required for your cabinet depth — face frame installs commonly need rear support in addition to the front bracket.
No. This bracket is designed for face frame construction where the slide front needs to mount against the frame rather than the cabinet side. Frameless cabinets take direct side mounting and do not use this bracket.
Stock the 8404 alongside the 8400 slides and every face frame drawer in the run goes in correctly the first time, with no field improvisation at the front mount.
