This bracket kit adapts Knape and Vogt 8400 Series drawer slides for face-frame cabinet installation, providing the front support needed when slides mount in cabinets with a solid wood frame at the front opening.
In a frameless cabinet, a drawer slide screws directly to the flat interior side panel. In a face-frame cabinet, the solid wood frame at the front edge sets the side panel back from the opening, leaving the front end of the slide without a solid surface to fasten to. The 8404 bracket kit solves that problem at the front of the cabinet, letting the 8400 Series slide seat squarely and stay level through its travel. Without front support in a face-frame install, the slide can tip, bind, or pull loose over time. This kit is the part that prevents those outcomes.
The brackets carry a zinc plated finish — the same practical surface treatment used on the 8400 Series slide members. Matching the finish keeps the hardware consistent inside the cabinet and avoids mismatched metals in the same installation. Zinc plating protects the steel through normal indoor service. This is an interior cabinet accessory; it is not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments.
Cabinet shops and installers working with face-frame construction reach for this bracket kit any time they specify the 8400 Series. It is also the right reorder part when a retrofit or replacement job calls for the 8400 Series in an existing face-frame cabinet. Homeowners doing a drawer slide replacement in a traditional American-style kitchen will find this kit fills the mounting gap that frameless hardware instructions do not account for. If the cabinet has a face frame and the slide is an 8400 Series, this bracket belongs in the order.
No — the 8404 bracket kit is designed for the 8400 Series specifically. KV slide series use series-matched mounting hardware, and brackets from one series should not be assumed to fit another.
This kit covers the front position. If the installation also requires rear support in the face-frame cabinet, check for a matching rear bracket designed for the 8400 Series — rear and front brackets are separate parts.
No. In a frameless cabinet the slide mounts directly to the side panel without a face-frame adapter. This kit is only needed when the cabinet has a solid wood face frame at the front opening.
The kit is packaged with the front face-frame brackets and associated mounting hardware. Confirm the included piece count against the 8400 Series installation instructions before starting the job.
Pairing the right bracket with the right slide saves a trip back to the supplier and keeps the 8400 Series running the way it was designed — use the 8404 kit and the front mount is handled correctly the first time.
