Knape and Vogt 20 inch soft close drawer slides use the 8450FM design to provide full extension travel, so the drawer clears the cabinet face and exposes the full box for easy access to stored contents during everyday use. The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology controls the final closing speed, which helps drawers settle gently against the cabinet front instead of slamming under load. A 100-pound rated load capacity allows these ball bearing slides to support typical residential and many light commercial drawers without sagging when properly installed. The 8450FMB EB 20 model is a side mount drawer slide, so it installs along the cabinet sides where many installers already plan structure and clearances. A non-handed design means the same member works on either side of the drawer, simplifying planning and cutting down on orientation mistakes during installation work.
The unhanded side mount design of the Knape and Vogt 8450FMB EB 20 supports flexible installation, because either slide can be used on the left or right, which simplifies staging parts at a bench. The push-in lever feature allows easy drawer removal from the slide members, which helps during finishing, adjustments, or service work when access to the cabinet interior is important. A ball retainer latch with ramps supports easy drawer insertion onto the slides, so engaging the drawer with the cabinet members becomes a controlled motion rather than a trial-and-error fit. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, which gives an installer a clear shank diameter and length to match to typical cabinet side materials. Black finish on the slide body provides a dark appearance that blends into shadowed cabinet interiors, which is useful when the hardware is visible around modern darker drawer boxes.
The Knape and Vogt 8450FMB EB 20 is a side mount ball bearing drawer slide in the 8450 series, which fits applications where full extension and a 100-pound rating are needed together in cabinet or casework drawers. The 20 inch length suits cabinet depths designed around standard base cabinet dimensions, which helps when planning drawer sizes in kitchens, baths, or shop storage using typical carcass depths. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side makes this slide appropriate for drawer boxes built with common material thicknesses, where controlled clearances are necessary for smooth travel. The 1-13/16 inch slide height works in many drawer banks that stack multiple drawers vertically, because the height leaves predictable space above and below the members for runners, fronts, or applied reveals. The 32 mm pattern support allows these slides to integrate into cabinet lines that use system holes, so rows of drawers or pullouts can be positioned using consistent measurements across multiple cabinets.
The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology in the 8450FM design manages the final part of the closing stroke, which delivers a predictable pull-in action that helps keep drawer fronts aligned with adjoining faces over time. Three ball bearings per inch along the members distribute load across many contact points, which supports stable motion under the 100-pound rating and reduces localized wear. Polymer stop cushions temper the end of travel, which lessens impact stresses in the slide and frame when drawers are opened fully. The push-in lever drawer release offers a repeatable way to remove and reinstall drawers, which helps during adjustments or field service because the release location and motion are familiar from one unit to another. The ball retainer latch and ramps assist in guiding the drawer member onto the cabinet member, which shortens fine-tuning during installation and helps maintain consistent engagement across multiple drawers in the same project.
The Knape and Vogt 8450FMB EB 20 slides are 100-pound rated, which allows them to carry typical residential and many light commercial drawer loads without over-stressing the ball bearing system.
The 8450FMB EB 20 slides require 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance on each side, so drawer box widths can be sized precisely to maintain smooth, non-binding movement.
The 20 inch length suits drawer boxes and cabinet depths designed so the full extension travel brings the drawer front past the cabinet face, maximizing access to interior storage space.
The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology slows and pulls in the drawer during the last part of travel, which reduces slamming and helps fronts land consistently against the face frame or edge.
The non-handed side mount design lets either slide install on the left or right, which streamlines bench work because installers handle identical members instead of tracking separate handed parts.
The 8450FMB EB 20 specification calls for #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, giving a defined shank size and length that match typical cabinet side materials during mounting.
The Knape and Vogt 8450FMB EB 20 slide pairs combine full extension travel, a 100-pound rating, and integrated soft-close in a 20 inch side mount format, which directly supports smooth, controlled drawers in cabinets built around standard depths. Defined side clearance, 1-13/16 inch height, and a 32 mm pattern give clear layout dimensions, so drawer boxes and cabinet sides can be sized and drilled with confidence. For projects needing black 8450 series performance with consistent motion and predictable fit, this model provides a focused option.
