The Knape and Vogt 8605 Series is a 12 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 140 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that pushes the drawer past the cabinet face and clear of countertop overhangs. Sold in bulk pack, it is sized for shops and contractors fitting heavy storage drawers where standard full-extension travel falls just short.
A standard full-extension slide stops at the cabinet face. That is enough for most kitchen drawers, but in a shop or utility cabinet built under a countertop overhang — or behind a thick face frame — the rear of a 12 inch drawer can still be out of reach. The 8605's 1 inch of over-travel carries the drawer past that stopping point so the back of the box is fully accessible. It is a practical spec for base cabinets at a workbench, tool storage under a router table, and any install where the face frame or counter edge would otherwise block the last inch of access.
The 8605 runs on steel ball bearings in full-length raceways, giving consistent, smooth travel even when the drawer is loaded close to its 140 lb rating. The zinc finish is the standard protective coating for steel side-mount slides in dry indoor environments — it is a functional, working finish, not a decorative one, and it holds up through years of daily drawer cycles in a cabinet shop, contractor's truck base, or utility room. Standard motion means no closing mechanism: the drawer rides the bearings and stays exactly where it is left, which suits work surfaces where you want the drawer to hold its position without fighting a spring or detent.
At 12 inches, this slide is at home in shallow base cabinets, wall cabinets with pull-out shelves, and compact utility drawers where depth is limited but load is not. The 140 lb rating makes it appropriate for hardware drawers, tool trays, and storage drawers that would push a standard 100 lb cabinet slide. The bulk-pack format suits cabinet shops and contractors speccing several drawers at once on the same project. For face-frame cabinet installations, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide; those brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
No. 12 inches is the closed length of the slide. With over-travel, the drawer member extends the full slide length plus 1 additional inch — so the drawer travels farther than its nominal size suggests.
Standard motion means there is no self-close, soft-close, or detent. The drawer rolls freely on the bearings and stops wherever it is left. It will not pull itself shut and it will not dampen the close.
No. The 8605 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and either one mounts on either side of the drawer.
Zinc-finished steel is rated for dry indoor use. It is not a stainless finish and is not suited to washdown, exterior, or persistently damp environments.
Yes. In face-frame construction the cabinet side is set back from the frame, so the rear of the slide needs support from a bracket. These brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
The KV 8605 in 12 inches delivers a 140 lb rating and 1 inch of over-travel in a compact slide that fits where longer options will not — a reliable workhorse for shops and contractors who need more capacity and reach than a standard cabinet slide provides.
