Knape and Vogt 26 inch drawer slides in the 6505 Series are side mount ball bearing file drawer slides designed for file drawer applications that need smooth travel and controlled drawer retention. The slides use a heavy duty ball bearing design, which supports consistent movement under load so drawers open and close predictably during daily use. A closed position hold-in detent keeps the drawer held at the cabinet front, which helps resist minor rebound when the drawer is pushed shut and helps maintain a clean front line on file cabinets. The 1 inch over-travel lets the drawer extend slightly beyond full extension, improving access to files at the back of the drawer without forcing the cabinet user to reach past the front. An over travel hold-in anti-rebound function works with the detent to keep the drawer in place at both extremes of its travel for more controlled operation.
The 6505B 26 side mount drawer slides are designed for side mounting, which allows installers to use common cabinet construction methods while keeping the hardware accessible along the drawer sides. Side clearance is specified at 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch on each side, which defines the target gap between drawer box and cabinet side for proper slide action. A height of 2-19/32 inch, including the quick disconnect rail, defines the minimum side wall space required on the drawer for mounting. The slides use a 32mm pattern, which coordinates with cabinet systems laid out on that drilling grid so casework can be processed on line boring equipment. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 7/16 inch wood screws (WW46000), which align with the hole sizing in the members for secure attachment to typical cabinet materials.
The KV Model #6505 26 inch length slide suits file drawers that require this nominal depth, so cabinet designers can match slide length to drawer box size in typical office or storage layouts. As a side mount ball bearing file drawer slide, it fits projects where drawers carry file loads and must move fully out of the case, such as lateral or vertical file cabinets built around 26 inch slide members. The unhanded design means the same slide model number can be used on both left and right sides, simplifying ordering and inventory for installers working across multiple cabinets. Because the 6505 Series uses a 32mm pattern, it integrates into system furniture or casework built around that standard, supporting efficient drilling and repeatable placement across large runs of cabinet sides.
The quick disconnect rail is part of the 2-19/32 inch overall height, which allows the drawer member to be separated from the cabinet member for installation and then re-engaged, helping installers mount drawers and slides in stages. A defined side clearance of 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch each side gives a clear machining target, which supports consistent drawer fit while limiting side play that could affect alignment of file fronts. The heavy duty ball bearing structure provides a guided travel path, which helps drawers stay aligned over their full 1 inch over-travel stroke. The hold-in detent at closed position ties directly to day-to-day use of file cabinets because it resists casual pull from minor bumps, keeping drawers resting at the front of travel. The over travel hold-in anti-rebound characteristic helps the drawer remain at the intended end positions, contributing to predictable operation in offices where drawers are opened and closed repeatedly.
The 6505B 26 slide is a ball bearing file drawer slide, so it suits file drawers that need smooth travel and controlled extension in cabinet and office storage projects.
The 1 inch over-travel lets the drawer extend beyond standard full extension, which improves reach and visibility for folders stored at the back of the file drawer.
The 6505B 26 slide uses 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch side clearance on each side, giving installers a defined drawer-to-cabinet gap for proper slide function.
The 6505B 26 is a side mount slide, so it attaches along the drawer sides and cabinet sides, matching common file cabinet construction methods.
The closed position hold-in detent provides resistance at the front of travel, which helps the file drawer remain closed against the cabinet front during everyday use.
The 6505B 26 slide is specified with recommended #8 x 7/16 inch wood screws (WW46000), matching the slide hole pattern for secure attachment to cabinet materials.
The 6505B 26 side mount drawer slides from Knape and Vogt combine 26 inch length, 1 inch over-travel, and a heavy duty ball bearing design, which suits file drawers that must open fully and operate consistently. The defined 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch side clearance and 32mm pattern help align these slides with system cabinet construction. The closed position hold-in detent, over travel hold-in anti-rebound function, and quick disconnect rail tie the hardware to everyday file cabinet use and installation workflow, making this 6505 Series option a focused choice when specifying slides for file storage projects.
