The Knape and Vogt 8605 series is a 16 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 140 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension and a zinc finish built for long indoor service. It is the right slide when the drawer needs to clear a countertop overhang or a deep face frame — and when a zinc finish on steel is the practical, proven choice for the application.
Standard full-extension slides bring the drawer to the cabinet face. The 8605 goes one inch further. That extra travel matters most under a kitchen countertop with a pronounced overhang, behind a thick face frame, or anywhere the drawer front would otherwise block the last few inches of the box. A loaded utility drawer or pantry pull-out under a deep counter is the natural home for this slide — the 140 lb rating covers serious contents, and the over-travel means the back of the drawer is actually reachable once it is open.
Zinc plating is the segment's workhorse finish for a reason: it protects steel slide members through years of indoor cycling without adding color, shine, or decorative intent. On a side-mount slide that sits beside the drawer box — visible only when the drawer is open — zinc does its job quietly. It is an indoor finish; for wet, washdown, or exterior environments, specify a stainless steel option. The steel members themselves are cold-formed for consistent raceways that keep the ball bearings tracking smoothly across the 140 lb rated range.
Cabinet shops and contractors running production work on face-frame kitchens or utility cabinetry will find the 8605 Bulk-Pack the practical choice. The 16 inch length suits standard base-cabinet drawer depths, the non-handed design keeps the bench simple — both slides are the same part — and the 140 lb rating provides margin for drawers that carry real weight. In face-frame cabinets, plan for rear mounting brackets at the back of the slide; those are sold separately and are series-specific. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the opening to leave 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide.
No. 16 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is an over-travel model, the drawer member actually travels the full 16 inch slide length plus 1 additional inch — so the drawer pushes past the cabinet face by that extra inch.
There is no closing mechanism on this slide — no spring, no damper, and no detent. The drawer stays wherever you leave it. If you need the drawer to pull itself shut or close quietly, look at the self-close or soft-close variants in this series.
No. The 8605 is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order the quantity you need and install without sorting.
Yes, but face-frame construction requires rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the frame. Those brackets are sold separately and must match the 8605 series — do not substitute brackets from other KV lines.
The Bulk-Pack is sold per pair. Each pair provides one complete drawer installation — one slide for each side of the box.
The KV 8605 in zinc gives shops a reliable, no-fuss slide that handles drawers beyond the standard cabinet weight class and reaches past overhangs that would stop a conventional full-extension model — packed in bulk for the jobs where one pair is never enough.
