KV8405 10" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Black Bulk-Pack - 8405B EB 10

Knape And Vogt 8405 Drawer Slides For Smooth Travel

Knape and Vogt 8405 drawer slides provide a 10 inch length side-mount solution that supports 1 inch over-travel, so drawers can extend beyond the cabinet face for easier access to stored items at the back. The side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the required gap between drawer and cabinet, helping installers size and build boxes for consistent fit. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch sets the vertical space the slide occupies, which matters when stacking drawers or working in tight face-frame layouts. A ball bearing design with an anti-rebound hold-in function manages smooth movement while resisting bounce-back at closure, which helps drawer fronts stay seated. The unhanded side-mount configuration lets the same member work on either side, simplifying layout on the bench and reducing orientation errors during installation.

Key Slide Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The 1 inch over-travel lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front, improving access to the rear of the drawer and reducing reaching in deep cabinet applications.
• The 10 inch length targets smaller drawers, so it suits compact cabinet bays, utility pull-outs, or furniture pieces where full-depth hardware is not required.
• The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance each side provides a tight, defined tolerance, supporting repeatable drawer construction and predictable slide engagement.
• The 1-13/16 inch slide height establishes a consistent footprint along the drawer side, which matters when aligning multiple drawers in a stack or working under low rails.
• The ebony black finish identifies the slide visually, which helps match dark interiors or contemporary designs where visible hardware color contributes to the final appearance.
• The 32 mm pattern listing shows that the slide drilling aligns with 32 mm system layouts, helping cabinetmakers integrate it into line-bored casework.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Installation

This side mount, ball bearing slide installs along the drawer sides, using the specified 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance to set the gap between drawer and cabinet members. That defined clearance anchors layout decisions, from drawer box width to case opening sizing, which supports predictable running action. The recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head fasteners match the manufacturer guidance, tying the slide firmly to wood or comparable substrates for consistent holding power. Lever disconnect simplifies separating drawer and cabinet members during fitting or later adjustments, allowing installers to remove the drawer without dismantling the entire unit. The unhanded design keeps left and right the same, which streamlines set-up at the bench and reduces handling time.

Drawer Slide Function In Everyday Cabinet Use

Where These 10 Inch Slides Are Typically Used

The 10 inch length suits compact drawers, so these Knape and Vogt 8405B EB 10 slides pair well with smaller cabinet bays, auxiliary storage pull-outs, and furniture pieces where shorter travel matches shallow boxes. Their 1 inch over-travel means even short drawers can clear the cabinet front, allowing users to see and reach contents at the back without shifting items around. The side mount configuration supports use in frameless or appropriately prepared face-frame cabinets where a 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch clearance per side is built into the opening. Ebony black finish lets these slides blend into dark case interiors, so visible hardware around open drawers remains visually consistent with darker design schemes. With a ball bearing design and an anti-rebound hold-in feature, the slides support controlled movement that helps drawers stay seated when closed.

Details That Support Repeatable Slide Performance

The lever disconnect feature on the 8405 series allows the drawer member to be separated from the cabinet member, which helps during installation, fitting, or later service work by letting the drawer be removed and reinstalled on the same tracks. A ball retainer latch contributes to keeping bearing components in position inside the slide, supporting consistent movement over repeated cycles. Polymer stop cushions manage the contact at travel limits, softening the slide action at the ends of stroke, which matters when drawers are operated frequently during daily use. The unhanded design means each slide can mount on either side without different part numbers, simplifying inventory and reducing mix-ups on site. The 32 mm pattern fits into system-based drilling layouts, helping production shops align slides accurately along line-bored cabinet sides.
