The Knape and Vogt 8400BRV 16 is a 16 inch, full-extension, side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 100 lb per pair. It combines a self-close spring that pulls the drawer home with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps it there, making it a practical choice for kitchen, utility, and shop drawers that see regular use. Bulk-Pack pricing suits shops and contractors outfitting multiple cabinets at once.
The self-close mechanism and the hold-in anti-rebound detent address two different moments in the same motion. The self-close spring engages once the drawer is pushed within its capture zone, pulling it the rest of the way home without the user finishing the push. The hold-in detent then holds the drawer shut so it does not rebound. On a kitchen cabinet taking repeated closings through the day, that combination reduces the chance of a drawer left ajar or bouncing back open into a busy aisle. In a shop or utility setting, it keeps the drawer from drifting open when the bench vibrates. The result is a slide that finishes the job the hand started.
The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc — the working standard for indoor side-mount ball bearing slides. Zinc plating protects the steel members through the humidity and wear cycles of a typical kitchen or cabinet shop environment. It is a functional, low-profile finish; the slide sits beside the drawer box, largely out of sight, so the finish is about durability rather than decoration. For cabinet interiors finished in white or almond, other finish options in the 8400 series are available; this zinc version works well where the interior panel is raw or naturally finished wood.
The 16 inch length suits shallower drawers — spice pulls, bathroom vanity drawers, and shop organizer cabinets where an 18 inch or 22 inch slide would run long. Pair that with the self-close and hold-in features and it becomes a practical choice for high-frequency drawers in busy kitchens and work environments, where the drawer gets pushed shut quickly rather than eased home. The 100 lb rating per pair covers most production kitchen scenarios, and the non-handed design speeds installation across a run of identical drawers. The Bulk-Pack format supports cabinet shops and contractors who need multiples without the per-pair retail markup. In face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting brackets are required for proper support at the back of the slide; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific to the KV 8400 line.
No. The self-close spring pulls the drawer shut without damping — there is no cushioning at the end of travel. If you need a quiet, slowed close, look for a soft-close version in the 8400 family.
It is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer in the closed position after the self-close spring pulls it home. This stops the drawer from bouncing back open when closed with force. It does not lock the drawer — a normal pull opens it.
KV recommends a maximum drawer width of 24 inches for the 8400 series. Beyond that, the load and racking forces exceed what this series is designed for.
Mounting screws are not confirmed in the source data for the Bulk-Pack format. Check the pack contents when the order arrives, and have your standard cabinet screws on hand.
No — the 8400BRV is non-handed. Both slides in the pair are the same part, so you order one quantity and install without sorting.
The KV 8400BRV 16 pairs the convenience of a self-close finish with the security of a hold-in detent, in a full-extension zinc slide sized for shallower drawers and priced for volume work. Install it and the drawer takes care of closing itself.
