Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slides provide a 1 inch over-travel feature that lets a file drawer extend past the cabinet face, improving access to rear files and making folder removal and viewing easier in tight casework. These side mount ball bearing slides use a 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus, 0 inch side clearance on each side, giving a predictable fit in cabinets built to that allowance so drawers track smoothly. The slides have a height of 2-19/32 inches including the quick disconnect rail, which sets a clear profile for drawer box design and allows planning for stack-ups in multi-drawer configurations. A closed position hold-in detent helps keep the drawer seated in the cabinet when shut, which reduces nuisance opening in normal use and supports a cleaner front appearance on office or storage runs.
Knape and Vogt model 6505 16 inch length side mount ball bearing slides use a defined 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus, 0 inch side clearance per side, so cabinet openings and drawer widths can be laid out with known tolerances for a controlled fit. The slide height of 2-19/32 inches including the quick disconnect rail gives installers a clear reference for vertical placement on the drawer side and cabinet wall, supporting consistent alignment from drawer to drawer. These slides carry a 32mm pattern, which ties into system boring layouts, allowing production shops using 32mm case construction to position mounting points that match existing drilling operations and improve installation speed. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 7/16 inch wood screw (WW46000), which aligns screw length and gauge with the slide design to provide secure attachment in typical cabinet materials.
Knape and Vogt 6505 series 16 inch side mount drawer slides are identified as ball bearing file drawer slides, aligning them with file storage drawers that benefit from smooth travel over repeated cycles. The 1 inch over-travel capability suits deeper file drawers where rear folders would otherwise be partially hidden behind the cabinet face, supporting layouts where full file visibility is needed. With a defined side clearance of 1/2 inch plus, 1/32 inch minus, 0 inch each side, these slides match cabinets built around that width relationship, fitting applications that use controlled tolerances rather than loose clearances. The 2-19/32 inch overall height including the quick disconnect rail fits file drawers with enough side height to carry that profile, making them appropriate for standard lateral and vertical file drawers built to accept a taller slide member. The presence of a 32mm pattern integrates with casework that already uses 32mm line boring, so these slides suit commercial and shop-built cabinets following that system.
The heavy duty designation of the Knape and Vogt 6505 series slides supports use on file drawers that experience frequent operation, helping maintain alignment under typical loading for this slide class. The ball bearing construction provides guided movement along the slide members, which supports consistent opening and closing feel across a bank of file drawers. A quick disconnect rail allows the installer to mount the drawer member and cabinet member separately, which can simplify achieving square alignment and allow drawers to be removed during finishing or service without disturbing cabinet installation. The closed position hold-in detent holds the drawer shut at the end of travel, which helps drawers stay seated along long runs of casework such as office files or storage banks. The 1 inch over-travel helps the slide clear the cabinet face as the drawer extends, aiding full access to contents and reducing the need to reach around the front edge. The specific 16 inch length identifies these slides for drawers designed around that travel distance, supporting consistent planning of cabinet depths and internal file layouts across a project.
