This is a 22 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8605 series, rated 140 lb per pair with 1 inch of over-travel that carries the drawer past the cabinet face to clear overhangs and deep face frames. The zinc finish is the standard for this segment: a clean, functional coating that holds up through years of daily use inside a cabinet.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face and stops there. Under a countertop with a significant overhang, or behind a thick face frame, that stopping point can still leave the back portion of the drawer awkward to reach. The 8605 adds 1 inch of travel beyond that point, so the back of the drawer comes fully clear. Shop drawers under a workbench top, kitchen drawers beneath a deep stone ledge, and utility cabinets with heavy face frames are the natural fits. The 140 lb rating also means this slide handles the kind of loads — power tool accessories, hardware bins, dense file drawers — that would run a standard 100 lb cabinet slide at the edge of its rating on a routine basis.
Cold-formed steel members carry the load, and the zinc finish protects them from the humidity and minor contact that any installed drawer slide encounters over its service life. Zinc plating is the working standard across this segment because it does the job without adding cost, weight, or complexity. This is an indoor finish, appropriate for the dry, protected environment inside a cabinet or shop unit. The slide sits beside the open drawer box and is visible when the drawer is pulled, but in practice the zinc finish blends quietly with painted, melamine, or raw wood interiors.
The 8605 series targets the gap between a standard 100 lb kitchen slide and a true heavy-duty file slide. Cabinet shops installing base cabinets under worktops — where the countertop overhang is more than nominal — reach for over-travel to guarantee rear access without measuring the overhang on every job. The 140 lb rating covers nearly any drawer a residential or light commercial project throws at it. Because the design is non-handed and the packaging is Bulk-Pack, shops running multiple installations can pull from a single bin without sorting parts or opening retail packaging one pair at a time. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide; those brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
Full extension brings the drawer out to the cabinet face. Over-travel adds distance beyond that point — on this slide, 1 inch more — so the drawer clears an overhanging countertop or a deep face frame. If your cabinet has no overhang, a standard full-extension slide covers you; if the overhang is real, over-travel prevents the drawer from stopping short.
Per pair. That is the standard way load ratings are stated in this category — both slides together support 140 lb, not each one individually.
No. The motion technology is standard, meaning the drawer travels freely on ball bearings and stays wherever it is left. There is no damper, no closing spring, and no detent. If soft-close or self-close is needed, that is a different SKU.
Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide — the standard for this segment.
Yes. In a face-frame cabinet the back of the slide needs rear mounting support. Add the matching rear mounting brackets for the 8605 series — those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
The KV 8605 series gives shops and installers a 22 inch slide that handles the two real-world problems a standard cabinet slide cannot: the countertop that extends too far and the drawer that carries more than a kitchen load. One non-handed part, zinc-finished steel, and 1 inch of extra travel beyond the face.
