The Knape and Vogt 8400BRV 12 is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from the KV 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a combined self-close spring and hold-in anti-rebound detent. The zinc finish is the standard working finish for the 8400 series — practical, corrosion-resistant, and at home in kitchen cabinets, office furniture, and shop builds alike.
A 12 inch slide suits shallow drawers: spice pull-outs, small utility drawers in a base cabinet island, shop organizer drawers, and desktop or credenza drawers where the cabinet is not deep enough for a longer slide. The self-close feature earns its keep in any drawer that gets regular, casual use — a drawer that catches itself rather than waiting for a deliberate push is one less thing to think about on a busy workday. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a second layer: once the spring pulls the drawer home, the detent keeps it there even if the cabinet takes a bump.
These slides are formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the workhorse finish in this product class — it is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is not rated for wet or outdoor environments. For indoor cabinetry in kitchens, offices, and dry shop spaces, it is exactly right. The steel ball bearings run in full-length raceways for smooth, consistent travel under load, and the slide profile fits within the standard 1/2 inch side clearance requirement of the 8400 series.
Choose this slide when the cabinet depth calls for a 12 inch slide, the drawer sees regular use and you want it to close itself, and the application is indoor and dry. Cabinet shops running production builds will find the bulk-pack format convenient for pulling pairs as needed across a run of shallow drawers. The 100 lb per pair rating covers most residential and light commercial drawer loads at this size. Because the slide is non-handed, the same SKU covers every position in the cabinet — no separate left and right part numbers to track. For face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific to the KV 8400 line.
They do two separate jobs. The self-close spring activates when the drawer is pushed within the capture zone and pulls it fully shut. The hold-in anti-rebound detent then keeps the closed drawer in place, preventing it from bouncing back open if the cabinet is bumped or the drawer is pushed shut firmly. Neither feature is a soft-close damper — there is no dampening mechanism on this slide.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Those brackets are sold separately and must be the KV 8400 series-compatible version — brackets from other slide lines will not fit.
KV recommends a maximum drawer width of 24 inches for the 8400 series. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide.
The 8400 series uses a lever disconnect. Squeeze the levers on both slides simultaneously and pull the drawer straight out. No tools required.
No. The zinc finish on steel members is suited to dry indoor use. For wet, outdoor, or washdown environments, a stainless steel or corrosion-rated slide is the right choice.
The 8400BRV 12 pairs two closing features — self-close spring and hold-in detent — with full-extension ball bearing travel and a zinc finish built for long indoor service, in a non-handed 12 inch format that simplifies ordering and speeds installation.
