Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slide 8505B 14 is a side mount, ball bearing file drawer slide that supports smooth, progressive movement for file storage applications. The over travel design lets the drawer open beyond full extension, giving clear access to file contents without interference from the cabinet front. The slide is unhanded, so the same member works on either side of the drawer, simplifying planning on repetitive jobs. A hold-in feature helps prevent rebound when the drawer is closed, which matters in busy work areas where drawers are cycled frequently. The slide height of 3-51/64 inches establishes the minimum drawer side height needed around the hardware, which helps when laying out file drawer box dimensions. This 8505 Series model is part of the KV line made in the USA, which supports projects that specify domestic manufacturing.
This 8505 Series slide is a side mount design, so it registers against the cabinet side and drawer side, which helps maintain drawer alignment in tall file applications. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws (BST5/8-7-2C), giving a specific length and head style that matches the slide holes and cabinet material thickness typically used with system-bored casework. Using this screw size supports good bearing between the slide members and the cabinet substrate without excessive breakout risk on common panel thicknesses. The side clearance specification of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side guides where to position the slides so the drawer runs freely without racking against the case.
The KV 8505 side mount drawer slide in 14 inch length targets file drawers where a compact depth is required, such as shorter base cabinets or pedestal units. The slide height of 3-51/64 inches helps define the drawer side height envelope, which is important when sizing tall file sides to clear the slide while still supporting hanging files or internal dividers. The over travel function lets the drawer extend past the cabinet face, providing better access to the back of the drawer in file storage setups. Because the slide is unhanded, the same part number 8505B 14 can be used on both left and right sides, reducing sorting on site or in the shop when setting up multiple cabinets.
This ball bearing file drawer slide uses progressive movement on ball bearings, so the members extend in sequence for smooth travel that supports frequent drawer cycling in office or commercial environments. The retainer holds 3 bearings per inch of race, distributing load across multiple bearing points, which supports even motion under file drawer loads. Factory-attached drawer release clips with the quick disconnect rail design let the installer separate drawer and cabinet members after mounting, which is helpful when finishing drawer boxes or adjusting reveals. The hold-in feature is designed to reduce bounce back when the drawer is closed, supporting consistent closure in high-use situations. Positive in and out stops define the travel limits, helping protect casework and drawer fronts from over-extension during daily use.
The 8505B 14 is a ball bearing file drawer slide, so it is aimed at file storage drawers where smooth travel and full access to stored files are important.
The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance on each side sets the required clearance between drawer and cabinet, guiding final drawer box width.
The over travel feature lets the drawer extend beyond full length, improving access to files at the back of the drawer without interference from the cabinet face.
The factory-attached drawer release clips and quick disconnect drawer members allow the drawer to be removed from the cabinet, simplifying mounting, finishing, and adjustment work.
The recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, which match the slide hole pattern and typical cabinet panel thicknesses for this application.
The 32 mm pattern indicates the slide is laid out for system-bored cabinets, so it lines up with standard 32 mm case side drilling used in many shop workflows.
The 8505B 14 over travel drawer slide brings side mount installation, a defined 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance, and a 3-51/64 inch height that all translate directly into planning reliable file drawers. The progressive ball bearing movement, hold-in feature, and positive stops support smooth, controlled operation in daily use. With a 32 mm pattern cabinet member and recommended #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, this Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slide aligns well with system-bored casework. For file drawer projects that call for clear access and consistent travel, this 8505 Series model provides a focused hardware option.
