KV8414 10" Full Extension Hold-Out Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8414B 10

A Full-Extension Ball Bearing Slide That Holds the Drawer Open

The Knape and Vogt 8414 series is a 10 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with a built-in hold-out detent that keeps the drawer in the open position until intentionally pushed closed. Rated 100 lb per pair and zinc finished, it is sold in bulk packaging suited to shop and production use.

Key Features

• Hold-out detent locks the drawer at the fully open position until a deliberate push sends it closed — no hands needed to keep it out of the way.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, so nothing at the back is blocked.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen, utility, or workstation drawer with room to spare.
• Non-handed design means the same slide installs on either the left or right side of the drawer, simplifying ordering and bench work.
• Lever disconnect lets you lift the drawer out of the cabinet in seconds for cleaning or service.
• Bulk-Pack packaging delivers trade quantities without per-pair retail packaging overhead.

Where the Hold-Out Feature Earns Its Place

A hold-out detent solves a specific problem: the drawer that swings shut the moment you let go. On a workbench drawer holding tools, a parts tray near a router table, or a kitchen drawer used while both hands are occupied, the hold-out keeps the drawer extended until you push it closed on purpose. This is not a soft-close or self-close mechanism — there is no spring pulling the drawer in and no damper slowing it down. The drawer simply stays where it is put: fully open when detented open, or in place wherever you leave it otherwise. For applications where the drawer must stay available during an entire task, that behavior is exactly right.

Materials and Finish

Cold-formed steel members carry the load across the full slide length, with ball bearings running in formed raceways for smooth, consistent travel under weight. The zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance — the practical, durable choice for a slide that spends its life inside a cabinet box where finish visibility is minimal. Zinc is the workhorse of this segment, and on a slide this size it wears well through years of daily cycling. This is not a stainless or decorative finish; it is a functional coating for dry, indoor cabinetry.

Who Should Order This Slide

The 10 inch length suits shallow drawers: spice drawers, utility trays, base cabinet pencil drawers, and workstation inserts where the cabinet depth does not permit a longer slide. At 100 lb per pair the rating is generous for a 10 inch application, so load is rarely the constraint. Cabinet shops running production orders will find the bulk-pack format practical — no retail packaging to unwrap per pair, just the hardware at working quantity. Face-frame installs require rear support at the back of the slide; add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, for those cabinets. In frameless construction the slide mounts directly to the panel on the 32mm system holes. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to provide the required 1/2 inch side clearance per slide.

Built for the Drawer That Needs to Stay Open

When the task requires both hands and the drawer has to wait, the KV 8414 series in zinc delivers the hold-out behavior, full-extension reach, and 100 lb capacity to get the job done without interruption.
