The Knape and Vogt 8605 series is a 14 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 140 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that carries the drawer past the cabinet face. The zinc finish is the standard-duty indoor workhorse of the 8605 line — a reliable, cost-effective choice for shops running volume cabinet and furniture work.
Standard full-extension slides stop when the drawer reaches the cabinet face. On a 14 inch 8605, the drawer member keeps going for another inch past that point. Under a counter overhang, behind a deep face frame, or in a workbench application where the box sits inside a deep case, that extra inch means the difference between digging for the back of the drawer and having it within reach. It also gives the front face a cleaner reveal when the drawer is fully open, which matters in shop and utility furniture where drawers get pulled all the way out routinely.
The 140 lb rating puts this slide above the standard kitchen cabinet class. It suits storage drawers in shop cabinetry, utility rooms, garage bases, and light commercial work where the contents are heavier than pots and pans but do not require a dedicated file or extra-heavy-duty platform.
Cold-formed steel members carry the zinc electroplate finish that is standard on working cabinet hardware. Zinc protects against the everyday humidity and handling of an indoor shop or utility space. This is not a decorative finish, and it is not stainless — for wet, food-service, or outdoor environments, a different material class is the right call. Inside a cabinet shop, residential kitchen base, or utility room, the zinc finish does its job without calling attention to itself.
The 14 inch length suits drawer boxes in shallower base cabinets, shop carts, and utility furniture where a longer slide would crowd the back of the case. At 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening — the same formula as every standard side-mount ball bearing slide in this class. The bulk-pack format is aimed at cabinet shops and contractors ordering by the pair, not single-slide retail buyers. 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.
Neither. The 8605 is a standard-motion slide — no damper, no spring, no detent. The drawer rides freely on the ball bearings and stays wherever it is pushed. If soft-close or self-close is needed, look at a different series built with that mechanism.
No. The 14 inch measurement is the closed length of the slide. Because the 8605 is an over-travel slide, the drawer member actually travels the full slide length plus 1 additional inch, so the drawer extends slightly beyond the cabinet face at full open.
No. The 8605 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are the same part. Order one pair per drawer regardless of which side each slide goes on.
Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide. The 8605 does not include rear brackets, and they are series-specific — use the brackets matched to this series rather than generic hardware.
Bulk-pack quantity for this series is listed in the product specification block on this page. The bulk-pack format is sold by the pair, priced for trade quantities.
When the drawer needs to clear the overhang and the load is beyond the standard class, the 8605 in zinc delivers over-travel reach and 140 lb capacity in a non-handed, free-sliding format that installs fast and orders cleanly in volume.
