The Knape and Vogt 6505 series is a 26 inch side-mount ball bearing file drawer slide built for drawers that need to push past the cabinet face. With 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension and a 125 lb load rating per pair, this slide is the right choice when a deep storage drawer sits under a countertop overhang or behind a substantial face frame.
At full open, a standard slide brings the drawer flush with the cabinet face. This slide goes a step further: the over-travel action pushes the drawer an additional inch past that point. That matters when the cabinet sits beneath a countertop that extends out over the drawer front, or when a thick face frame creates the same clearance problem. Deep file drawers and heavy storage drawers loaded with binders, tools, or parts are the core application. The 26 inch slide length suits cabinets built for full-depth drawers, and the 125 lb rating keeps those drawers well within spec even when the contents are substantial.
The slide is cold-formed steel throughout, finished with zinc plating for indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in this duty class — a functional finish that holds up through years of daily cycling in a shop, office, or residential cabinet. This is not an outdoor or wet-environment slide. The side clearance requirement is 1/2 inch per side, consistent with standard side-mount ball bearing installation practice.
Cabinet shops fitting deep storage cabinets beneath kitchen islands or worktops will find the over-travel handles the overhang problem without custom solutions. Contractors spec it in office furniture builds where lateral file drawers sit under a desktop shelf. Homeowners doing a renovation who want their full-depth drawer to open completely despite the countertop lip get the same benefit. The hold-in anti-rebound detent makes it a natural fit anywhere a loaded drawer must stay closed under vibration or repeated use — a shop environment, a busy office, or a garage storage build. This SKU ships as a Bulk-Pack, sold as a pair.
No. 26 inches is the closed slide length. Because this is an over-travel slide, the drawer member actually travels past that point — the drawer pushes 1 inch beyond full extension. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate measurements.
The detent keeps the drawer in the closed position after it is pushed shut, preventing it from bouncing or drifting back open. There is no spring assist and no damping — the drawer stays closed until intentionally pulled open.
Side-mount slides need rear support in face-frame construction because the cabinet side is set back from the frame. Add the appropriate series rear mounting brackets for face-frame installs — those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed but does not slow or dampen the closing motion. This is not a soft-close or self-close slide — the drawer stops where it is left and stays there.
No. The 6505 series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order one pair per drawer.
When a loaded 26 inch drawer needs to clear a countertop overhang and stay shut between uses, the KV 6505 series gives you the over-travel, the capacity, and the detent to make the installation work correctly the first time.
