Knape And Vogt 28 Inch Over Travel Soft Close Slides

Knape and Vogt 28 inch over travel soft close slides give a 28 inch drawer full extension with over travel, so the back of the drawer clears the cabinet face for better access to contents during everyday use. The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology controls closing force along the slide, which pulls the drawer in smoothly and brings it to a controlled stop for quieter operation in cabinets that see frequent opening and closing. This 8455 Series side mount ball bearing slide uses three ball bearings per inch, so the drawer rides on a dense bearing pattern that supports consistent movement under load. The 90-pound rated design handles typical kitchen, bath, and utility drawer loads within that rating, which supports heavier contents in residential or light commercial cabinetry. The non-handed design allows installation on either side without separate left and right parts, simplifying layout and stocking for repeated projects.

Key 8455FMB 28 Details For Cabinet Projects

• The full extension over travel action on this Knape and Vogt 8455FMB 28 slide lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front, which improves reach to items at the back of the drawer in deeper cabinet boxes.
• The integrated soft-close with Force Management technology moderates closing speed, so drawers are pulled shut in a controlled way that helps reduce slamming impacts on drawer fronts and cabinet frames in daily use.
• The 90-pound load rating defines the working capacity of the slide, which supports heavier contents like cookware or tools when the drawer and cabinet construction are built to work within that rating.
• Three ball bearings per inch in the ball bearing raceway support the moving member along its length, which helps maintain smooth, quiet travel when drawers are opened and closed repeatedly in busy spaces.
• The non-handed design means each slide works on either the left or right side of the drawer, which reduces sorting on the bench and lets installers pull from one stack during production runs or on-site work.
• The bulk-pack 8455FMB 28 version is supplied without screws, which lets shops choose fasteners suited to their preferred drawer material and production process when installing these slides.

Mounting, Clearance, And Drawer Fit Details

This Knape and Vogt 8455 Series slide is engineered as a side mount drawer slide, so it attaches to the drawer sides and cabinet sides for straightforward alignment in standard framed or frameless layouts that use that configuration. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch on each side defines the drawer box width relative to the opening, which allows builders to size drawer boxes for a consistent running fit with these slides. The slide height of 1-13/16 inch sets the minimum side height needed on the drawer box where the slide is mounted, which helps in planning drawer side dimensions when pairing this 28 inch slide with various drawer depths. The 28 inch length defines both cabinet depth requirements and the maximum practical drawer depth using this model, guiding case construction when standardizing on the 8455FMB 28 across a project.

Using 8455FMB 28 Slides In Real Installations

Where These 28 Inch Slides Are Typically Used

The Knape and Vogt 8455FMB 28 full extension slide works wherever a 28 inch long, side mount ball bearing slide fits the cabinet dimension and load requirements, giving builders a defined option for deeper base or pantry drawers in those runs. The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance on each side pairs well with drawer boxes machined to a consistent offset from the cabinet opening, which benefits production shops that like repeatable sizing across multiple cabinet widths. The 1-13/16 inch slide height allows use on many common drawer side heights that meet or exceed that dimension, which keeps this model practical for a range of kitchen, bath, and utility drawer designs. The 90-pound rated capacity suits drawers that carry moderate to heavier household or light shop items within that limit, making this slide appropriate when a project needs more than light-duty functionality.

Details That Support Repeatable Mounting And Service

The 32 mm pattern on this Knape and Vogt 8455 Series slide matches the widely used 32 mm system layout, which ties into line boring patterns and helps production shops locate mounting holes using standard jigs for faster, repeatable installation. The push-in lever that allows easy drawer removal lets installers disengage the drawer from the cabinet member without tools, which simplifies fitting adjustments, edge work, and service access after the case is installed. The ball retainer latch and ramps that allow easy drawer insertion guide the drawer member back onto the cabinet member, which speeds final assembly and reduces the chance of misalignment when hanging multiple drawers. Polymer stop cushions in the slide help soften contact when the drawer reaches its limits of travel, which reduces noise at full open or fully closed positions and supports a smoother feel that suits higher-use cabinetry. The bulk pack format groups 10 pairs per box without screws, which aligns with production environments that install many 8455FMB 28 slides and prefer to handle fasteners through their own inventory systems.
