The Knape and Vogt 6505 Series is a 24 inch side-mount ball bearing file drawer slide rated 125 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that pushes the drawer past the cabinet face — the right choice when a countertop overhang or deep face frame would otherwise block rear access to a loaded file drawer.
A standard full-extension slide stops at the cabinet face. When a countertop overhangs the cabinet or a deep face frame sets the opening back, that stopping point leaves rear content just out of reach. The 6505's 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer member past the nominal slide length so hanging files at the back of the drawer are fully accessible without reaching blind. It is a practical spec for office furniture, built-in workstations, and any under-counter file installation where the work surface extends past the cabinet opening.
The 6505 Series is built from steel members with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in office and utility applications. Zinc protects the steel against indoor moisture and everyday wear. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical feature, not a spring or damper: it holds the drawer in the closed position until pulled, and it prevents the bounce-back that a heavily loaded file drawer can produce when pushed shut firmly. There is no soft-close damper and no self-closing spring on this slide.
At 125 lb per pair, the 6505 sits above the standard 100 lb cabinet class — appropriate for lateral file drawers, deep storage drawers, and built-in office cabinetry where paper weight adds up quickly. Each slide mounts to the drawer box side and the cabinet interior on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide; brackets for the 6505 series are sold separately. This SKU ships as a Bulk-Pack, priced per pair.
No — 24 inches is the closed slide length. Because this is an over-travel slide, the drawer member actually travels the full slide length plus 1 additional inch past the cabinet face, giving more clearance than a standard full-extension slide of the same nominal size.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch — it keeps the drawer closed and prevents bounce-back, but it does not slow or damp the closing motion. The drawer closes at whatever speed it is pushed.
Yes, but the rear of the slide needs support. Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. The brackets for the 6505 series are sold separately and are series-specific.
No. The 6505 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical, so a single quantity covers both sides of the drawer.
The 125 lb rating is per pair. That is the working capacity for one complete drawer installation using both slides together.
When a standard full-extension slide leaves rear files just out of reach, the 6505's 1 inch of over-travel and 125 lb pair rating close the gap — without changing the mount position or clearance of the rest of the run.
