KV6400 20" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Stainless Steel Poly-Pack - 6400P SS 20

Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Demanding Environments

This is a 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 6400 series, finished in stainless steel and rated 75 lb per pair. Where zinc slides would be the standard choice, this stainless steel version steps in for installations where appearance matters, moisture is a factor, or a clean, corrosion-resistant look is part of the spec.

Key Features

• Stainless steel finish provides a corrosion-resistant surface suited to wet rooms, food prep areas, and anywhere a polished metal look is required.
• Full extension carries the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, putting the back of the drawer within reach.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed after it is pushed shut, preventing bounce-back.
• 75 lb weight capacity per pair handles standard kitchen, bath, and utility drawer loads.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left-right sorting on the bench.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side follows the standard side-mount ball bearing sizing convention.

Where Stainless Steel Earns Its Place

Most drawers in a dry shop or closed cabinet do fine with zinc-finished slides. Stainless steel becomes the right call when the environment pushes back: a bathroom vanity where humidity cycles daily, a bar cabinet near ice and water, a laundry room built-in, or a commercial-adjacent prep area that sees wipe-down cleaning. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a practical layer in any setting where the drawer needs to stay closed without being latched — a loaded bathroom drawer that would otherwise drift open, a utility cabinet in a busy workspace, or a drawer beneath a workstation where accidental bumps are common. Full extension means nothing stays buried at the back; the whole drawer interior is accessible at full open.

Construction and Finish

The slide members are steel with a stainless steel finish that resists the surface corrosion that plain zinc plating is more susceptible to in high-humidity or frequently cleaned environments. This is still an indoor slide — it is not rated for outdoor or wet-area immersion applications. The ball bearings run in full-length raceways between the telescoping members, keeping travel smooth and consistent even as the drawer load increases toward the 75 lb per pair rating. The slide ships in a poly-pack.

Matching the Slide to the Job

The 6400 series is sized for standard residential and light commercial drawer work. At 75 lb per pair, it covers the typical range of kitchen, bath, closet, and office drawers without being oversized for the application. The 20 inch slide length suits drawer boxes in the 18 to 20 inch depth range — measure the cabinet's interior depth first to confirm fit. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch clearance on each side. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.

The Right Slide for Environments That Demand More

When the finish on a zinc slide is not enough for where the drawer lives, the KV 6400 series in stainless steel delivers full extension, a stay-closed detent, and a corrosion-resistant surface — all in a non-handed slide that installs the same way as a standard side-mount ball bearing slide.
