Knape and Vogt 26 inch over travel drawer slide is a side mount ball bearing file drawer slide designed for projects that need full access plus extra extension. The 26 inch length supports typical file drawer depths where reaching the back files matters. The over travel action lets the drawer extend beyond full length, which exposes the rear of the drawer so files or stored items can be accessed without obstruction. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 each side defines the required gap between drawer and cabinet, which guides precise sizing of drawer boxes for smooth operation. A height of 3-51/64 inch gives the vertical profile of the slide, which helps in planning drawer spacing and fitting slides around existing cabinet structures. The slide is part of the KV Model 8505 series, which groups it with matching components when a project uses multiple drawer sizes.
This 8505B 26 side mount drawer slide uses a side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 on each side, which directly determines cabinet opening size relative to drawer width for proper fit. The 3-51/64 inch slide height defines how much vertical space must be reserved on the drawer side, which influences where to position file rails or drawer bottoms. The slide is a side mount format, so it is aligned along the drawer sides rather than under the drawer, which affects cabinet design and spacing between drawers. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head, which identifies a screw size and head style suited to the provided mounting holes and typical cabinet side thickness.
The Knape and Vogt 26 inch over travel drawer slide is identified as a file drawer slide, which suits applications where drawers carry files that must extend fully for viewing labels. The over travel movement extends the drawer beyond standard full extension, which opens the rear of the drawer to direct access for filing and retrieval. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 each side supports construction of file drawers that run closely controlled in the opening, which helps keep heavy file drawers tracking straight. The 3-51/64 inch height of the slide supplies a substantial side profile, which fits common file drawer side heights used in cabinetry and casework. The side mount configuration allows use with drawer boxes that need the bottom open for hanging file systems, because the hardware stays on the side walls.
The quick disconnect drawer member with factory-attached release clips lets installers separate cabinet and drawer members, which speeds mounting and allows drawers to be removed later for adjustments or alignment without disturbing cabinet members. Progressive movement on ball bearings means the members move in a coordinated sequence, which gives a consistent feel throughout travel and helps distribute load through the bearings. The retainer that holds 3 bearings per inch of race confines multiple bearings along the slide, which supports smooth, stable movement over the full extension of the 26 inch slide. The hold-in feature limits rebound when the drawer is pushed closed, which reduces nuisance reopening and keeps fronts aligned across a bank of drawers. Positive in and out stops cap travel, which keeps the slide operating within its designed range and supports long-term function in repetitive-use environments. The Anochrome finish on the steel surfaces adds a protective surface treatment, which supports performance in typical indoor conditions found in offices, shops, and storage areas.
The 8505B 26 slide is described as a file drawer slide, so it is suited to file drawers where full access to stored files along the 26 inch depth is required.
The 8505B 26 requires side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 on each side, so drawer widths are planned to match that gap in the cabinet opening.
The 8505B 26 slide height is 3-51/64 inch, which determines how much vertical space on the drawer side is occupied when positioning file rails or drawer bottoms.
The hold-in feature on the 8505B 26 is intended to prevent bounce back, so drawers tend to stay in the closed position once pushed shut in regular use.
The 8505B 26 slide lists recommended fasteners as #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, which match the slide hole sizes and typical cabinet material thickness.
Over travel on the 26 inch slide means the drawer can extend beyond its nominal length, which improves access to items stored at the very back of the drawer.
The Knape and Vogt 26 inch over travel drawer slide combines side mount installation, ball bearing progressive movement, and a hold-in feature, which together support smooth access to deep file drawers. With defined side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 and a 3-51/64 inch slide height, this 8505B 26 model gives the key dimensions needed to size drawer boxes and cabinet openings accurately. Choosing this KV Model 8505 slide with Anochrome finish and quick disconnect drawer members helps align installation methods and performance across a bank of file drawers in casework or cabinetry.
