The Knape and Vogt 8450 series is a 24 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with integrated soft-close damping, rated 100 lb per pair. The zinc finish is the workhorse choice: unobtrusive inside the cabinet, corrosion-resistant for indoor environments, and priced for volume runs without sacrificing the damped close that keeps kitchens and offices quiet.
A 24 inch slide suits deeper cabinet runs: standard kitchen base cabinets, deep pantry drawers, desk pedestals, and utility cabinets where the drawer box needs to clear the cabinet face completely. Full extension means every inch of the drawer is accessible at full open, which matters in a pots-and-pans drawer or a deep file pull-out. The soft-close damper earns its keep wherever a slammed drawer is a problem — kitchens with young kids, shared office spaces, or any room where the noise carries.
Because the slide is non-handed, one SKU covers both sides of the drawer. That cuts the parts count in half on a multi-drawer install and eliminates the risk of pulling the wrong version off the shelf mid-job.
The slide members are cold-formed steel — the structural choice for a slide that needs to hold a consistent load rating through years of cycles. The zinc plating is an electroplated finish applied over the steel for indoor corrosion resistance. It is a functional, low-profile finish that recedes inside the cabinet interior rather than drawing attention to the hardware. Zinc is the segment standard for a reason: it handles the moisture and temperature variation of a typical kitchen or office without rust spotting, and it does not add cost the way decorative finishes do. This is not a stainless or powder-coated finish; it is an indoor-service zinc, appropriate for conditioned spaces.
The 8450FMP 24 comes in a poly-pack, bagged as a set for clean handling and storage on a busy shop floor. The 8450 series is Knape and Vogt's Force Management soft-close line — tested beyond 50,000 cycles including the soft-close module and meeting KCMA, BHMA, and BIFMA performance standards. For a shop specifying soft-close on every drawer in a kitchen run, that cycle count matters more than it does on a one-off replacement. The 100 lb rating per pair covers the bulk of residential and light commercial drawer loads without upsizing to a heavy-duty class. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch side clearance per slide, and add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for face-frame cabinet work, sold separately.
It is a damper. The Force Management mechanism catches the drawer in the last portion of travel and slows it to a controlled, quiet close. It is not a self-close spring and it does not pull the drawer shut — it slows it down. The drawer still needs to be pushed to within the capture zone.
No. 24 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer member travels approximately that full length, bringing the drawer box fully clear of the cabinet opening. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
No. The 8450 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer.
Yes, but face-frame installations need rear mounting support. Add the matching rear brackets for the 8450 series — they are sold separately and are series-specific.
The poly-pack contains one pair of slides — one cabinet member and one drawer member per side — bagged together as a set. Mounting screws are included.
The KV 8450 in zinc gives volume installers and serious home renovators a full-extension, soft-close side-mount slide that meets published performance standards, fits either side of the drawer without sorting, and handles the depth of a real kitchen cabinet run.
