This is a 28 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair. It combines a self-closing spring with a hold-in anti-rebound detent, so the drawer pulls shut on its own and stays there after it closes.
A 28 inch drawer carries a longer, heavier load profile than shorter kitchen drawers, and it often lives in a shop, pantry, or utility cabinet where drawers get pushed shut with a hip or an elbow rather than a deliberate push-and-hold. The self-close spring catches the drawer at the last inch and pulls it home without a second touch. The hold-in detent then locks the closed position so a vibrating cabinet, a rolling tool cart, or the next time someone bumps the cabinet face does not send it drifting back open. Neither feature is soft-close: the spring closes with positive intent, and the detent holds without damping. That makes this combination a practical fit for work environments where drawer control matters more than quiet closing.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish, the standard corrosion-resistant treatment for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor environments. Zinc protects through years of cycling in a kitchen, shop, or office cabinet without adding visual weight. The finish is functional: it sits beside the open drawer where it does its job and mostly disappears into the cabinet interior. This is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is the right call for any installation where the slide is out of sight and workload is the priority.
The 8400BRV is the right pick for cabinet shops, contractors, and serious DIYers building utility-forward drawers in the 28 inch depth range: shop drawers, pantry pull-outs, base cabinet drawers in kitchens, and any box where the contents need full rear access. The 100 lb per pair rating covers most loaded residential and light commercial applications. At 28 inches, this slide suits deeper base cabinets and furniture pieces where standard 22 inch slides fall short. It arrives in a bulk pack, making it a natural choice for shops running multiple drawers on the same build. Face-frame cabinets need rear mounting brackets for back-end support; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific to the 8400 line.
The self-close spring pulls the drawer fully shut once it is pushed within the capture zone — you do not need to push it all the way to latch. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a separate mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from bouncing back open after a firm close. The two features work together: the spring closes the drawer, the detent holds it there.
No. The self-close spring pulls the drawer shut quickly and positively — there is no damper slowing the last inch of travel. If a quiet, controlled closing action is the priority, look at the Fulterer FR 5001 or the KV FM soft-close series instead.
The 8400 series requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to accommodate both slides.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order by quantity and length only.
Yes, but face-frame cabinets need rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide. The brackets are not included and are specific to the 8400 series — order the matching KV rear brackets separately when building into face-frame construction.
The combination of self-close spring and hold-in anti-rebound detent gives this 28 inch zinc slide a clear job: pull the drawer shut and keep it there, on full extension, at the 100 lb class, in any indoor cabinet where reliability comes first.
