KV8414 24" Full Extension Hold-Out Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Poly-Pack - 8414P 24

Knape And Vogt 24 Inch Drawer Slides For Work Surfaces

Knape and Vogt 24 inch drawer slides in the 8414 Series give you a full extension, ball bearing side mount slide that is built for work surfaces needing a positive extended position. The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so a pull-out surface stays put while it is being used. As a side mount drawer slide with ball bearing construction, it supports smooth linear travel along the cabinet side, which helps drawers and pull-out surfaces open and close in a controlled, repeatable path. The zinc finish on these slides provides a clean, uniform appearance that aligns well with other zinc-finished hardware in a cabinet run. The unhanded design means the same slide model can be used on either side, which simplifies stocking and layout on the bench.

Key 8414P 24 Drawer Slide Details For Installers

• The 24 inch length supports typical medium-depth pull-out work surfaces, helping match standard cabinet and countertop projections in many shop and office layouts.
• The full extension design lets the slide travel the full nominal length, bringing the work surface fully out of the cabinet for easier access to tools or materials.
• The hold out feature is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, so the slide resists movement while the surface is loaded or leaned on.
• Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side sets a clear target for cabinet and drawer sizing, which helps reduce fit issues during installation.
• A height of 1-13/16 inch defines the minimum vertical space needed at the slide location, helping you plan stack layouts and clearances between adjacent pull-outs.
• The 32mm pattern matches common system hole layouts, so slides can align with pre-drilled rows in frameless cabinets and speed up mounting on production jobs.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Fastener Details

This 8414 Series slide is a side mount drawer slide, so it registers against the cabinet side and drawer or pull-out side during installation, giving a predictable reference surface for alignment. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the running space for the ball bearing members, which supports smooth travel when the cabinet opening and pull-out are sized to that allowance. With a slide height of 1-13/16 inch, it fits within many standard cabinet side heights while still leaving space for additional hardware above or below. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head, and using that diameter and head style matches the slide's mounting holes and bearing tracks so the slide seats properly on the side material.

Using KV 8414 Hold Out Slides In Workstations

Where These Hold Out Slides Perform Best

The KV Model 8414 with a 24 inch length works well anywhere a pull-out work surface needs to extend fully and then stay in place. Because it is designed to lock and maintain work surfaces in the extended open position, it suits keyboard pull-outs, auxiliary work shelves, and other surfaces that are used in the open position for extended periods. The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance on each side pairs well with cabinet constructions that follow consistent internal widths, allowing the slide to run smoothly when the opening and pull-out are dimensioned to that clearance. The 1-13/16 inch height keeps the slide compact relative to its length, which helps when fitting it into constrained vertical spaces such as stacked pull-out arrangements or undercounter stations. The 32mm pattern allows these slides to be fastened into line-bored cabinet sides, which streamlines layout in frameless cabinetry and supports repeatable drilling patterns on production jobs.

Why These Dimensions Support Reliable Alignment

The 24 inch full extension travel allows the moving member to project roughly the same distance as its nominal length, bringing the front of the work surface forward and clearing the cabinet face, which improves access and visibility during use. The hold out feature reduces the tendency of a loaded work surface to drift closed, so the extended position stays consistent between uses and avoids interruption while someone is working at the pull-out. Specifying a side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side establishes a tight but workable tolerance band; when the opening and pull-out are built to that band, the ball bearings have sufficient running clearance without excessive lateral play. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch contributes to lateral stability while still fitting into typical carcass dimensions, supporting a balance between rigidity and layout flexibility. Because the slide is unhanded, the same 8414P 24 part mounts on either the left or right side, which simplifies ordering and reduces the chance of mixing up handed components when setting up multiple stations.
