This is a 26 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8455 series, rated 90 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel and an integrated soft-close damper. It is the slide to reach for when the drawer sits under a countertop overhang or behind a deep face frame, and you still want damped, quiet closing.
Most drawer situations are well served by a plain full-extension slide, but two specific conditions call for over-travel: a countertop overhang that pushes back against the open drawer, and a deep face frame that places the drawer contents a few inches behind the cabinet opening. The 8455 adds that 1 inch of travel past the nominal slide length, bringing the back of a loaded 26 inch drawer fully clear. Soft-close handles the other end of the motion, damping the return so the drawer settles in quietly even when pushed shut firmly. The combination means no slamming and no digging for items at the back.
The slide members are cold-rolled steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the workhorse finish in this segment: it protects the steel through years of dry indoor service, blends into most cabinet interiors without drawing attention, and holds up to the handling a production shop puts on hardware before it ever reaches a cabinet. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the standard for this class of slide, and the 26 inch length suits deep base cabinet drawers and pantry pullouts. This is not a decorative finish and it is not rated for wet or outdoor environments.
The Bulk-Pack format is aimed at cabinet shops and contractors running volume installs. Individual DIY orders are welcome too, but the loose-carton packaging is built around bench workflow, not retail display. The 8455 series is a natural fit for residential kitchen renovations where drawers sit under granite or quartz overhangs, for pantry cabinet pullouts that need a quiet close, and for any install where the drawer opening is slightly recessed behind the face frame. The 90 lb per pair rating covers typical kitchen and utility loads; for heavier dedicated file or storage drawers, step up to the 8500 or 8850FM series.
No. 26 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because it is an over-travel design, the drawer member extends 1 inch past that nominal length at full open, so the travel is slightly beyond 26 inches. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
A standard full-extension slide stops when the drawer member reaches the slide's nominal length. This one travels 1 additional inch past that point, which is enough to clear a typical countertop overhang or deep face frame so the rear of the drawer is fully accessible.
It is true damped soft-close. An integrated damper slows the drawer to a controlled, quiet close over the last portion of travel. It is not an undamped spring that simply pulls the drawer shut.
No. The 8455 is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order the quantity your drawer count requires without worrying about handedness.
In a face-frame cabinet, the slide needs support at its rear end. Rear mounting brackets for the 8455 series are sold separately. Without them, the back of the slide is unsupported in a face-frame opening.
When the counter overhangs the drawer or the face frame pushes the box back, that last inch of travel turns a frustrating reach into a clean, complete open — paired with soft-close that keeps the kitchen quiet on the way back in.
