KV8407 22" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Poly-Pack - 8407P 22

Knape And Vogt 22 Inch Drawer Slides For Shelves

Knape and Vogt 22 inch drawer slides describe these 8407P 22 full extension, side mount, ball bearing slides built for shelf applications. The slides use shelf tabs, so installers can support a shelf or tray directly on the slide, which simplifies building pull-out shelves in cabinets or cases. The unhanded design means each member can be used on either side, which reduces sorting and speeds layout on the bench. A zinc finish on the slide members provides a clean, neutral look that blends with most cabinet interiors. As part of the Knape and Vogt 8407 series, these slides match a known line that shops can repeat across multiple projects. Made in the USA, they give production and custom shops a consistent spec when standardizing pull-out components.

Key Slide Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The 22 inch length defines how deep the cabinet opening or shelf run can be, so installers can size cases and pull-out shelves to use the full extension travel efficiently.
• The full extension design lets the slide travel the full drawer or shelf depth, which exposes the entire pull-out and makes access to stored items easier in deep cabinets.
• The side mount, ball bearing construction supports smooth movement along the cabinet side panels, helping drawers or shelves open and close with consistent action over repeated use.
• The hold-in anti-rebound feature keeps the slide engaged in the closed position, so drawers or shelves stay shut when a cabinet door closes or when cases are moved.
• The lever disconnect feature allows the drawer or shelf member to be released from the cabinet member, which simplifies installation, removal, and adjustments during fitting or service.
• The 32mm pattern compatibility ties into system boring layouts, allowing straightforward mounting in frameless or system-based cabinetry using standard row spacing.

Mounting And Clearance Details For Slide Fit

The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side sets the required gap between shelf or drawer and the cabinet wall, so builders can size pull-outs accurately for smooth running without racking. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch defines the minimum vertical space needed for mounting, guiding rail placement relative to shelf thickness and cabinet openings. These slides are designed for side mount use, so they fasten to the cabinet sides rather than the bottom, which suits typical drawer boxes and shelf frames. Recommended fasteners of #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws provide a grip length and head profile suited to the slide holes and common cabinet materials.

Using 8407P 22 Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where These 8407P 22 Slides Are Applied

These 8407P 22 slides belong to the Knape and Vogt 8407 series with shelf tabs, which positions them for pull-out shelves, trays, or shallow drawer-style platforms. The shelf tabs give a built-in support point along the moving member, so fabricators can rest a shelf panel directly on the slide rather than building a traditional drawer box, which can reduce material and labor for wide pull-outs. Their side mount configuration suits cabinet interiors where the case sides are accessible, such as kitchen, bath, or utility cabinets built from sheet goods. Being unhanded simplifies right and left side assignment during installation, so crews can carry one slide pattern to the job and fit either side without re-sorting parts.

Details That Help Achieve Repeatable Slide Results

The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch for each side gives a tight but defined tolerance band, so production shops can program machining or sizing operations for repeatable fit across runs. The 32mm pattern compatibility ties directly into system line boring, allowing consistent screw placement and helping align slides square to the cabinet front when using row-drilled panels. A slide height of 1-13/16 inch creates a predictable rail profile, letting designers coordinate slide placement with shelf thickness, face frames, or inset fronts to avoid interference. The lever disconnect mechanism streamlines fitting and finishing, since installers can mount the cabinet member first, then engage or remove the moving member during adjustments, finishing, or service calls. The hold-in anti-rebound function maintains the slide in the closed position, which supports neat cabinet faces in everyday use and during transport of modular casework.
