This is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8600 series, rated 150 lb per pair, zinc finished, and sold in bulk packaging for shop and production use. It is the go-to choice when a standard 100 lb cabinet slide is not enough but the job calls for the clean, low-profile look of a zinc finish that disappears into the cabinet interior.
At 12 inches, this slide fits the shorter drawers that come up constantly in shop furniture, base cabinets, utility carts, and storage benches. The 150 lb rating per pair handles what a loaded drawer of tools, hardware, or supplies actually weighs — not just what a lighter cabinet slide is rated to carry in ideal conditions. Full extension means the rear of the drawer is accessible without fishing around at the back, which matters on a busy shop bench as much as it does in a kitchen. Standard motion is the right call when the drawer needs to stay put at any point of travel, or when the install will be paired with a separate push-to-open mechanism that requires a free-sliding slide.
Steel members with a zinc finish deliver the corrosion resistance expected of side-mount ball bearing hardware in dry indoor environments. Zinc is not a decorative or stainless finish — it is the working standard for this class of slide, protective without adding visible hardware to the open-drawer profile. The ball bearings run in full-length raceways for smooth, consistent travel under load, whether the drawer is cycled a few times a day or dozens.
Cabinet shops and contractors who build shop furniture, base units, or utility storage will find the 12 inch length and 150 lb rating a practical pairing for shorter but heavily loaded drawers. The bulk-pack format rewards volume orders: buying by the case keeps the unit price down and ensures the supply room stays stocked for ongoing production. The non-handed design simplifies inventory further — one part number covers both sides of every drawer. This slide is for indoor work; it is not rated for wet, exterior, or marine environments.
No. 12 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because it is full extension, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face — but slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap for both slides.
The bulk-pack format is supplied loose in a carton without individually bagged fasteners. Confirm hardware inclusions against the packing list when the shipment arrives, and source mounting screws separately if needed.
Side-mount slides need rear support in face-frame construction. Add the matching series rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to carry the back end of the slide where there is no cabinet side panel behind the face frame.
Standard motion means there is no closing mechanism — no soft-close damper, no self-close spring, and no hold-in detent. The drawer travels freely on the ball bearings and stays at whatever position it is left. If the application requires a closing feature, choose the appropriate motion variant in this series.
The KV 8600 series delivers a 150 lb rated pair in a 12 inch form factor, giving shops and builders a heavy-duty side-mount option for the shorter drawer runs that would otherwise be undersupported by standard cabinet slides.
