Zinc-Finished Over-Travel Ball Bearing Slide for Drawers Under Counter Overhangs

The Knape & Vogt 8405 series is a 10 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with 1 inch of over-travel past full extension, rated 100 lb per pair, and finished in standard zinc. It is built for drawers where a countertop overhang or deep face frame would otherwise block access to the back of the drawer at full open.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer member past the slide's nominal length, pushing the drawer clear of overhanging countertops and deep face frames.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair handles a loaded kitchen, office, or utility drawer comfortably in the standard cabinet class.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed after it is pushed shut, preventing bounce-back without a spring or damper.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel on every pull, even under load.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting at the bench.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel provides reliable indoor corrosion resistance in the segment's standard working finish.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

A standard full-extension slide stops at the cabinet face — useful for most drawers, but not when the countertop overhangs the front of the box or the face frame is unusually deep. The 8405's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer past that point, putting the rear contents within reach instead of buried. This is the scenario the slide is built for: narrow shop drawers beneath a thick benchtop, kitchen base cabinet drawers under a stone counter edge, or any installation where the last inch of clearance is the one that matters.

Materials and Finish

Both slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for this segment — it protects the steel through years of indoor cycling and stays out of the way visually, sitting alongside the drawer box where it is rarely seen. This is not a decorative finish and is not rated for outdoor or wet-area use; it is the correct choice for dry, interior cabinet installations where durability and cost-efficiency matter more than appearance.

Who This Slide Fits

The 8405 in the 10 inch length suits shallow drawers: spice pull-outs, tray divider drawers, narrow utility drawers under bench overhangs, and any application where the cabinet is too shallow for a longer slide but the overhang still blocks full-open access. Cabinet shops running frameless construction will mount it directly to the panel on the 32mm hole pattern. In face-frame cabinets, add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — sold separately and series-specific — to support the back end of the slide. This Poly-Pack ships as one pair with mounting hardware included, so the count per drawer is one pack.

The Right Slide for Tight Quarters With an Overhang

When a shallow drawer sits under an overhang and a standard full-extension slide leaves the back contents just out of reach, the 8405's 1 inch of over-travel closes that gap — without changing the mount position, clearance requirement, or load class you already depend on.
