This is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a zinc finish that blends into cabinet interiors and combined hold-in anti-rebound and self-close motion to keep drawers controlled at both ends of travel. Sold in bulk-pack quantity for shop and production use.
The self-close spring engages once the drawer is pushed within the capture zone, pulling it fully shut without requiring a deliberate final push. The hold-in anti-rebound detent then keeps it there, stopping the drawer from bouncing back open when closed firmly — a common nuisance on shop drawers and utility cabinets that get pulled and shut repeatedly through the day. The two mechanisms work together on the same slide: the spring closes, the detent holds. Neither mechanism damps the close — this is a self-close slide, not a soft-close slide, so the drawer closes with positive action rather than a slowed, cushioned motion.
Zinc plating over cold-formed steel is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides. It is not a decorative finish and it is not stainless — this slide is rated for dry indoor service. Inside a frameless or face-frame cabinet, the zinc surface sits beside the drawer box, mostly out of sight, and holds up to the friction and handling of a production environment without treating or coating work on the installer's end. The neutral silver tone fits naturally against white, almond, and natural wood interiors without requiring a color-matched selection.
At 14 inches, this slide suits shallower drawers: upper cabinet drawers, bathroom vanity drawers, desk pedestals, and small utility cabinets where the box depth runs 12 to 14 inches. The 100 lb per pair rating covers everyday storage loads at that depth. The self-close and hold-in features make it a practical choice for any setting where drawers need to close on their own and stay closed — a kitchen with kids, a shop drawer that gets kicked shut, or a client's cabinetry spec that calls for positive closing without the cost of a soft-close damper. The bulk-pack format suits cabinet shops ordering for a multi-drawer project or keeping the slide in stock for production work.
Yes. Self-close means a spring pulls the drawer fully shut once it is pushed within the capture zone — there is no damper, so the close is positive rather than cushioned. Soft-close uses a damper to slow and silence the final inch of travel. This is a self-close slide; if a damped close is required, look at a soft-close version in the 8400 family.
The self-close spring pulls the drawer shut; the hold-in detent keeps it shut once closed. The detent prevents the drawer from bouncing back open after a firm close. Both features are built into this slide and work together.
Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance between the drawer box and the cabinet interior. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening total — 1/2 inch per side.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order the pair count your drawer count requires without sorting for handedness.
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. KV rear mounting brackets for the 8400 series are sold separately. The slide itself mounts the same way — the brackets are what bridges the depth gap at the back.
The KV 8400BRV 14 delivers full extension and positive closing action in a zinc finish built for indoor production work — a straightforward slide that earns its place in any cabinet where the drawer needs to close and stay closed without requiring a premium damper system.
