Knape and Vogt 18 inch soft close drawer slides are full extension 8450 Series side mount ball bearing slides rated at 100 pounds, so drawers can open fully while carrying typical cabinet loads in kitchens, shops, or storage runs. The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology controls closing speed, which helps drawers settle gently against the cabinet without slamming. An unhanded side mount design allows the same slide to be used on either side, simplifying layout and reducing part sorting during installation. Each slide uses three ball bearings per inch, supporting smooth travel along the entire 18 inch length under load. Polymer stop cushions support quieter operation at full travel, which is useful where drawer noise would be distracting. A 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance per side defines the required gap, giving installers a precise target for cabinet and drawer box sizing.
These Knape and Vogt 8450FMB 18 slides mount as side mount drawer slides, so they register off the cabinet sides and drawer sides for straightforward alignment. A specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch per side defines the working gap, guiding cabinet and drawer box sizing so the ball bearings run properly supported. The slide height is 1-13/16 inches, which helps determine drawer side height and notch layouts when coordinating with other hardware. A 32 mm pattern is provided, which supports layouts based on the common 32 mm system for drilling and line boring operations. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, aligning with the slide holes and giving installers a clear, matched screw size for mounting into typical cabinet materials.
The Knape and Vogt 18 inch full extension soft-close ball bearing slides fit projects that call for side mount drawer slides in the 8450 Series, such as cabinet drawers built around an 18 inch slide length. Their 100 pound rating supports drawers handling typical contents in woodworking, storage, or kitchen applications where a side mount layout is preferred. The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance each side defines the cabinet and drawer relationship, allowing repeatable construction when multiple drawers share the same opening widths. A slide height of 1-13/16 inches gives a fixed dimension to reference when planning drawer side heights, clearances above hardware, and any relief cuts near the slide zone.
The unhanded design means each 8450FMB 18 slide pair can be used on either side, so installers can stage parts for multiple cabinets without sorting by left and right, which saves time during repetitive installations. Full extension travel lets drawers clear the face frame or cabinet front so the back of the drawer box is accessible, which is useful where deep storage or organizational inserts rely on clear access. Integrated soft-close with Force Management technology manages kinetic energy at the end of travel, which supports a controlled close for drawers in high-use locations. Three ball bearings per inch combined with polymer stop cushions support smooth and quiet motion, which helps finished cabinets feel precise during day-to-day operation.
