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

Knape and Vogt 8414 Series Ball Bearing Drawer Slide for Hands-Free Open Work Surfaces

This 24 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8414 series holds the drawer in the open position until intentionally pushed closed, making it the right choice wherever a tray or drawer needs to stay put while both hands are busy. Rated 100 lb per pair, zinc finished, and non-handed, it sells in a poly-pack for bench or counter use in shops, offices, and utility cabinets.

Key Features

• Hold-out detent keeps the drawer fully open until a deliberate push closes it, freeing both hands while the drawer is in use.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so every inch of the box is reachable.
• 100 lb rating per pair handles a loaded utility or work-surface drawer comfortably.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, with no left or right sorting required at installation.
• Lever disconnect lets the drawer member release and lift out of the cabinet without tools.
• Zinc finish on cold-formed steel provides standard indoor corrosion protection and a clean, understated look inside the cabinet.

Where the Hold-Out Makes the Difference

A standard ball bearing slide leaves the drawer wherever it stops, which is fine for a kitchen or storage drawer. The 8414's hold-out detent is a different tool: it catches the drawer at full open and keeps it there. Pull the keyboard tray out and the detent holds it while you type. Extend the shop drawer and it stays open while you sort fasteners or load a jig. Push it closed when you're done and the detent releases cleanly. This slide suits any horizontal work surface, pull-out shelf, or utility drawer where a drawer drifting half-closed mid-task creates a problem.

Materials and Finish

The 8414 is built from cold-formed steel with a zinc finish. Zinc is the standard corrosion-protective coating for side-mount ball bearing slides used in indoor cabinetry, and it holds up through years of daily cycling without flaking or discoloring. The finish is functional and low-profile — inside a cabinet, it stays largely out of sight. This is not a stainless or powder-coated finish, and it is suited to dry indoor environments.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops and bench builders who spec pull-out work surfaces, keyboard platforms, or utility trays get the most value from the 8414's hold-out feature. The 24 inch length suits a full-depth base cabinet drawer and accommodates boxes built to that nominal depth. The 100 lb per pair rating covers most loaded work-tray and utility-drawer applications. For face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required at installation and are sold separately; in frameless construction, the 32mm hole pattern mounts directly to the cabinet side. The poly-pack includes one pair.

A Slide That Works as Hard as You Do

When the drawer needs to stay open — and stay there reliably — the KV 8414 delivers full extension travel, a genuine hold-out detent, and a 100 lb rating in a non-handed zinc slide that installs in minutes on either frameless or face-frame cabinets.
