This is a 22 inch side-mount ball bearing file drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 6505 series, rated 125 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel past full extension and a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer closed after a firm push.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face — useful, but not enough when there is a countertop overhang in the way or when a deep face frame pushes the cabinet interior back from the opening. The 6505 series solves that by traveling 1 inch past full extension, so the drawer clears the obstruction and the back of the box is actually reachable. File drawers under a worktop, lateral files behind a thick face frame, and utility drawers in a shop cabinet with a lip across the front are the natural fits. Pair the hold-in anti-rebound detent with that over-travel action and the drawer neither bounces back open at close nor disappears under the overhang at full pull.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the functional standard for indoor side-mount ball bearing slides. Zinc protects against corrosion in dry interior environments: office, shop, and cabinet storage. It is not a decorative finish and is largely hidden when the drawer is closed. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is standard for this segment; build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap for each slide.
The 6505 series sits between a standard 100 lb cabinet slide and a dedicated heavy-duty industrial slide. At 125 lb per pair, it comfortably handles a lateral file loaded with folders, a shop drawer carrying hand tools, or a utility cabinet stocked with hardware. The 22 inch length suits standard-depth base cabinets and most shop cabinet builds. This is a standard-motion slide: no soft-close damper, no self-close spring — the drawer stays wherever it is left unless the hold-in detent is engaged at the closed position.
No. 22 inches is the closed length of the slide. With over-travel, the drawer member extends the full slide length plus an additional 1 inch past full extension — the total travel is approximately 23 inches from closed.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch, not a spring or damper. It holds the drawer in the closed position once pushed shut and stops it from bouncing back open, but it does not pull the drawer closed on its own. Push the drawer to closed and the detent engages; pull it open and the detent releases.
Yes, but face-frame installs require rear mounting support. The slide's back end needs a bracket at the rear of the cabinet since there is no full side panel to mount against. Rear mounting brackets for the 6505 series are sold separately; confirm the matching bracket before ordering.
No. The 6505 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
Bulk-Pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than in a retail polybag. It is the production and shop format. Confirm the pack quantity at checkout — each line item in Bulk-Pack may represent a single pair or a larger quantity depending on the SKU.
When the opening has an overhang or frame that a standard full-extension slide cannot clear, the 6505 series delivers the extra inch of travel that makes the difference — with a load rating to handle what file drawers and utility cabinets actually carry.
