This is a 14 inch Knape & Vogt 1805 series self-closing epoxy Euro slide in Almond — a steel roller-bearing side-mount slide with 3/4 extension, sold as a non-handed Taped-Pack set for one drawer.
Cabinet interiors in older kitchens, bathroom vanities finished in bisque or linen, and closet systems in warm neutral tones all share one problem: a white or zinc slide calls attention to itself. The almond epoxy on this 1805 series slide reads as part of the interior rather than as hardware. Refacing a run of almond-laminate kitchen cabinets, touching up a builder-grade vanity, or bringing a dated closet up to date are exactly the scenarios where finish match earns its keep — the slide does its job without pulling the eye away from the face front.
At 14 inches, this is the right length for shallow drawers: spice pull-outs, narrow base cabinet utility drawers, and bathroom vanity drawers with limited interior depth. Match the slide length to the cabinet's interior depth before ordering.
The 1805 series is built on formed steel members finished in a baked epoxy powder coat. The almond color is a finish and aesthetic choice — it does not change the structural performance of the steel underneath. Nylon rollers run quietly between the members. The self-closing ramp is a mechanical feature built into the rear of the slide: once the drawer is pushed to within the capture zone, the ramp takes over and pulls it the rest of the way shut. This is a positive, undamped close — self-close, not soft-close. The drawer seats firmly, but there is no damper slowing the final movement. If a slowed, silent landing is required, that is a different product category.
This slide works for cabinet shops and installers refacing or replacing hardware in kitchens and baths where almond finishes are already on the walls and interiors. It is also a practical pick for production runs in vanity and closet work where the interior color specification calls for something other than white. The non-handed design means one part number covers both sides, which simplifies purchasing and reduces job-site inventory. The 75 lb load rating covers typical residential drawer loads — dry goods, bath supplies, folded linens — without overbuilding. For heavy pots-and-pans or file drawers, a heavier-duty slide class is the right move.
Self-close. The 1805 series uses a mechanical ramp that pulls the drawer fully shut once it enters the capture zone. There is no damper involved — the close is positive, not slowed. If you need a damped, quiet landing, look for a slide with an integrated soft-close mechanism.
No. This listing is non-handed, so the same part installs on both sides of the drawer. One part number covers the full drawer.
Half an inch (1/2 inch) per side, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.
Almond epoxy is a baked powder-coat finish and the exact shade can vary slightly between manufacturers and product runs. If a precise match is critical, compare the slide against your existing hardware before committing to a full order.
The KV 1805 series is designed for drawer sides in the standard 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thickness range typical of production cabinet drawer boxes. Confirm against the KV series documentation if you are working with non-standard drawer construction.
When the cabinet interior is already almond, a slide that blends in is a better outcome than one that stands out. This 14 inch 1805 series slide handles the motion, the load, and the look — so the drawer does what it should without drawing attention to the hardware doing the work.
