The KV 8500B 24 is a 24 inch, full-extension, ball-bearing side-mount drawer slide built for file drawers, deep storage drawers, and any cabinet application that demands a 150 lb load rating and positive hold-in behavior at the closed position. Sold in a bulk-pack configuration, it suits shops and contractors outfitting multiple drawers in a single run.
File drawers put a specific kind of stress on slides: the load is dense and concentrated toward the front of the box, the drawer gets yanked open and shoved shut dozens of times a day, and the contents shift. A 150 lb rating with full extension and a hold-in detent addresses all three of those conditions directly. The 24 inch length suits standard letter- and legal-depth file drawers as well as deep shop drawers and base cabinet pull-outs where a shorter slide would leave rear contents unreachable. This slide also performs in office furniture, workbench drawers, and tool storage where load and daily cycle count both run high.
The 8500B 24 is formed steel with a zinc plating that protects the members through years of indoor service. Zinc is the standard corrosion-resistant finish for this class of ball-bearing slide — functional, durable, and unobtrusive against cabinet interiors. This is an indoor slide; the zinc finish is not rated for wet, washdown, or exterior applications. The ball bearings run in formed steel raceways rather than on nylon rollers, which is what puts the load rating at 150 lb and keeps the travel consistent over the life of the slide.
Cabinet shops building office furniture or commercial casework in volume reach for this slide when the spec calls for file drawer hardware that can take daily punishment without maintenance. Contractors outfitting a run of lateral or vertical file cabinets appreciate the bulk-pack format and the non-handed members — no sorting, no handed-pair errors, and no second shipment. The 150 lb class also covers heavy shop drawer installations in tool storage and workbench casework where contents are dense and the drawer sees real work. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the standard geometry for this class, so sizing the drawer box is straightforward.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound catch keeps the drawer firmly in the closed position and prevents bounce-back, but it is not a keyed or lever lock. The drawer releases with a normal pull.
The 8500B 24 is sold in bulk-pack format. Confirm the unit count per package at the time of ordering to ensure you receive a full working set for your installation.
Yes. Full extension brings the drawer member out to the full 24 inch travel, so the entire contents of the drawer are accessible at the cabinet face — the back of the box does not stay inside the cabinet.
No. The 8500 series uses a hold-in anti-rebound detent, which holds the drawer shut and resists bounce-back. There is no damping mechanism; the drawer does not slow as it closes. If soft-close is a requirement, a different slide series applies.
Side-mount slides in a face-frame cabinet typically require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Confirm rear support before installing.
When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the job calls for multiple installations, the KV 8500B 24 gives you the capacity, extension, and closed-position security to keep filing and storage drawers running the way they are supposed to.
