Black Over-Travel Drawer Slides for Drawers Under Overhangs

This is a 14 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8405 series, finished in Ebony Black, rated 100 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that pushes the drawer past the cabinet face to clear countertop overhangs and deep face frames. Sold as a bulk-pack pair.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer beyond full extension, so the rear contents clear a countertop lip or a proud face frame.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen or utility drawer without strain.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer shut after closing — no bounce-back, no drift.
• Ebony Black finish coordinates with dark cabinet interiors and modern hardware without the slide disappearing into the background.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left-right sorting on the bench.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel under load.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

Standard full-extension slides bring the drawer to the cabinet face. That is enough for most work — but when a countertop overhangs the drawer front, or when a deep face frame sets the opening back, the last few inches of drawer content stay pinched and hard to reach. The 8405's 1 inch of over-travel clears that gap. The drawer travels past the nominal slide length, so the rear of the box comes out into the open rather than hiding under the lip. It is also the right call for shallow drawers in spice or tray applications where every inch of access matters.

The hold-in anti-rebound detent addresses the other end of the travel: the drawer stays closed when pushed shut firmly, without bouncing back. There is no spring assist and no damper — this is a mechanical detent that holds position until the drawer is intentionally pulled open.

Finish and Construction

The Ebony Black powder-coat finish sets this slide apart from the standard zinc version in installations where the cabinet interior is dark or the designer wants a cohesive look through the open drawer. The steel members are built to the same tolerances as the rest of the 8405 family — the finish is a visual choice, not a structural one. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, this is an indoor-rated finish; a stainless or epoxy-coated slide is the right choice where moisture is a factor.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops fitting drawers under stone countertop overhangs will find the 14 inch length and 1 inch over-travel covers the most common shallow-drawer scenario. Designers specifying handle-less or dark-interior cabinetry get a slide that recedes visually when the drawer is open. The bulk-pack format suits shops installing multiple drawers in a run — order by the pair count the job requires. Each slide mounts on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required and sold separately; the 8405 mounts directly to the panel in frameless construction.

The Right Slide When Clearance Is the Problem

The 8405 in Ebony Black solves two problems at once: it gets the drawer past the overhang, and it keeps the hardware looking intentional in a dark-interior build. Measure the cabinet depth, confirm the 1/2 inch side clearance, and order the pair count the job needs.
