The Knape and Vogt 8600 series is a 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 150 lb per pair, finished in zinc, and sold in bulk for shops and installers running volume work. It is the right choice when a standard 100 lb cabinet slide is not enough and a clean, dependable finish matters.
At 150 lb per pair, the 8600 series sits above the standard kitchen cabinet class and is the better call for drawers that actually carry weight: a deep utility drawer loaded with hand tools, a shop bench drawer stacked with hardware, a garage cabinet holding power tool accessories, or a storage bank where the contents regularly push past what a 100 lb slide is rated to handle. Full extension means the back of a 26 inch drawer comes all the way out — nothing stays hidden at the rear of the box. The 26 inch slide length suits deeper cabinet runs, paired base cabinets, and worktable drawers where a shorter slide would leave the box unsupported.
The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides used indoors: it protects the steel members through years of service and stays low-profile beside the open drawer box. This is not a decorative finish — it is a durable functional coating suited to shop, office, and utility environments. Keep it dry and indoors; zinc plating is not rated for wet or exterior use.
Cabinet shops and installers who build utility cabinetry, shop furniture, or storage solutions will find the 8600 series a straightforward go-to at the 150 lb class. The bulk-pack format makes sense for multi-drawer projects or ongoing production runs where ordering by the pair each time adds friction. Homeowners building a serious garage cabinet or workshop bench will also find this the right weight class for drawers that carry real loads. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide — those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific, so confirm the match before ordering.
The 150 lb rating is per pair — both slides working together. Do not double that number by counting each slide individually.
Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs. On a full-extension slide the drawer member travels approximately the slide's nominal length, bringing the whole drawer box clear of the cabinet opening — but 26 inches refers to the closed slide length, not the exact travel distance.
No. The 8600 series uses standard motion — no damper, no closing spring, and no detent. The drawer stays wherever it is left. If you need damped closing, look at the KV FM soft-close series instead.
Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide.
Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide. Those brackets are sold separately; confirm you are ordering the series-correct bracket before the job starts.
The KV 8600 series in zinc gives high-volume installers and serious shop builders a full-extension, 150 lb rated side-mount slide in bulk format — everything needed to move past the standard kitchen class without overcomplicating the order.
