KV 8405 10-Pair Box 12" Hold-In/Anti-Rebound Side Mount Over-Travel 100 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Black, 8405B EB 12

12 Inch Black Over-Travel Drawer Slide for Dark-Interior and Handle-Less Cabinet Drawers

This is a 12 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8405 series, finished in Ebony Black and rated 100 lb per pair. The over-travel action carries the drawer 1 inch past full extension, and the hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps it closed until pulled.

Key Features

• Ebony Black finish blends with dark cabinet interiors and melamine-lined boxes where a zinc slide would stand out.
• Over-travel action, 1 inch beyond full extension pushes the drawer clear of shallow counter overhangs and deep face frames.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent holds the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair covers standard kitchen, bath, and utility drawer loads.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting on the bench.
• Bulk-Pack format keeps unit cost down for shops running multiple drawers at once.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

A 12 inch over-travel slide is the right call in two situations: drawers built under a countertop overhang that would otherwise block the last inch of opening, and shallow drawers in face-frame cabinets where the frame eats into usable travel. That extra inch past full extension is often the difference between a drawer that opens fully usable and one that still has contents hidden behind the frame edge. The hold-in detent pairs well with these same applications — in a busy kitchen or a shop environment, a drawer that bounces back slightly open is a nuisance; one with a detent stays put until intentionally pulled.

Finish and Construction

The Ebony Black coating serves two roles. Visually, it disappears against dark cabinet interiors — painted black boxes, dark melamine, or any installation where a bright zinc slide would draw the eye. Functionally, it is a steel slide with a baked black finish over the same cold-rolled steel members that run the standard 8405 series, sized for indoor cabinet and furniture work. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the standard for this segment; build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to account for both slides.

Who Specifies This Slide

Cabinet shops finishing interiors in dark paint or dark melamine reach for the Ebony Black version to maintain a clean, consistent look inside the case. Kitchen designers specifying handle-less pulls or integrated fronts find the black finish less visible when the drawer is opened. At 12 inches, this slide suits shallow upper drawers, spice pull-outs, and small utility drawers where the full-depth undermount options are over-built. The 100 lb rating handles typical kitchen and residential loads, and the Bulk-Pack format makes it practical for multi-drawer orders without the retail-packaging premium. For face-frame installations, plan for rear mounting brackets — the series-specific 8401 or 8402 brackets support the back of the slide and are sold separately.

A Clean Finish for Every Drawer in the Run

The 8405 in Ebony Black gives you over-travel reach and a stay-closed detent in a finish that works with the cabinet rather than against it — practical for the shop and invisible in the finished piece.
