This is a 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a self-close spring and a hold-in anti-rebound detent working together to handle the full closing cycle. The zinc finish blends cleanly against painted steel cabinet interiors and holds up through years of indoor service.
In a busy kitchen or utility space, drawers get pushed shut rather than guided — and that is exactly where these two features earn their keep. The self-close spring takes the drawer the rest of the way once it is within the capture zone, removing the soft nudge most drawers need to latch. The hold-in anti-rebound detent then keeps it there, stopping the drawer from rebounding open after a firm close. The combination suits drawers that see high-frequency use: spice and utensil drawers, shop drawers, filing cabinet drawers, and any pull-out that gets pushed shut with a knee or an elbow.
At 26 inches, this is one of the longer standard lengths in the 8400 series and pairs naturally with deep base cabinets and full-depth utility drawers where reaching the back without full extension is not realistic.
Cold-formed steel members carry the load across the full 26 inch travel, with steel ball bearings running in full-length raceways for smooth, consistent pull even when the drawer is loaded close to its 100 lb rating. The zinc electroplate is the segment's standard corrosion protection for indoor environments — functional, not decorative. It reads as a neutral metallic tone beside the drawer box, which keeps a clean look inside frameless and face-frame cabinets alike.
The 8400 series is Knape and Vogt's core medium-duty side-mount ball bearing line, and the 26 inch length suits cabinet runs with 27 to 28 inches of interior depth. Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, the back end of the slide needs support from rear mounting brackets, sold separately; in frameless cabinets, the slide mounts directly to the side panel on the 32mm system hole pattern. The lever disconnect allows the drawer to be lifted free without tools. These slides are sold in a bulk pack — confirm the pack quantity at checkout for your order volume.
No. The self-close spring pulls the drawer shut without damping — the close is positive and quick, not slowed. If you need a damped, quiet close, look at a soft-close ball bearing slide instead.
Yes, in sequence. The self-close spring pulls the drawer home, and the hold-in detent catches it there and prevents rebound. They are separate mechanisms that cover the full closing cycle.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order by quantity, not by side.
Yes, with rear mounting brackets. A 26 inch slide in a face-frame cabinet needs the back end supported; KV rear brackets for the 8400 series provide that support and are sold separately.
The slide is 26 inches long and full extension, so the drawer travels approximately the full slide length. Slide length and travel are the same on a full-extension slide, not the same on a 3/4-extension model.
For the deep drawers that get pushed shut more than they get guided closed, the combination of self-close spring and hold-in anti-rebound in a 100 lb, full-extension zinc slide covers the everyday closing cycle without stepping up to a soft-close mechanism.
