This is a 20 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape & Vogt's 8605 series, rated 140 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel that carries the drawer past full extension to clear countertop overhangs and deep face frames. The zinc finish provides reliable indoor corrosion resistance and blends into the cabinet interior without drawing attention.
A plain full-extension slide brings the drawer face to the cabinet opening — useful, but stopped right at the edge. The 8605's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer past that point, so the contents near the back are fully reachable even when the cabinet sits under a countertop with an overhang or behind a deep face frame. That extra inch is what turns a drawer you have to dig into into one you can see straight through. It is also the right move for deep tool or shop storage drawers where the back inch of content matters.
The 8605 is cold-formed steel with an electroplated zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides intended for indoor cabinet and shop use. Zinc is a functional, not decorative, finish: it protects the steel members through years of service without advertising itself in the open drawer. The slide mounts on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, meaning the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. Standard-motion slide — no soft-close, self-close, or detent — the drawer rides freely on the bearings and stays where it is left.
The 8605 at 20 inches and 140 lb suits cabinet shops and contractors running drawers in utility kitchens, shop storage, or commercial cabinetry where the load is heavier than a standard kitchen drawer and the cabinet layout puts an overhang in the way. It is also a practical choice for renovation work where replacing standard slides in an existing face-frame run: the non-handed design keeps the parts count simple and the zinc finish disappears behind the drawer front. The Bulk-Pack format works for production runs — order by the carton and pull pairs as needed without counting through retail packaging.
No. 20 inches is the closed length of the slide. With over-travel, the drawer member travels the full 20 inch length plus 1 additional inch — so the drawer clears the cabinet face and extends slightly past it.
Standard motion means no closing mechanism is built in. There is no soft-close damper, no self-close spring, and no hold-in detent. The drawer travels freely and stays wherever it is left or pushed.
The slide can be used in face-frame cabinets, but the rear of the slide needs support. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to carry the back end of the slide in a face-frame install.
Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch on each side.
Bulk-Pack format ships the slides loose in a carton without retail packaging. Confirm included hardware against the product spec block before ordering if mounting screws are a requirement for your install.
The KV 8605 in zinc gives shops and contractors a 140 lb rated, 1 inch over-travel side-mount slide in a practical finish and production-friendly packaging — the straightforward choice when load and cabinet geometry both push past what a standard full-extension slide handles.
