KV8605 24" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8605B 24

Knape And Vogt 24 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slide

Knape and Vogt 24 inch over travel drawer slide 8605B 24 is a side mount ball bearing drawer slide built for residential and commercial furniture, commercial storage, and retail store displays. The 8605 over-travel design provides a 140 lb load rating, so drawers can carry substantial stored material while still operating within the slide's stated performance range. Telescopic action gives full extension plus over travel, allowing drawers to open beyond the cabinet front, which improves direct access to items at the back of the drawer. The slide configuration is unhanded, so the same member works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies stocking and installation on the job. A zinc finish is specified, providing a clean, neutral hardware appearance that fits a wide range of cabinet interiors.

Key Knape And Vogt 8605B 24 Job-Site Advantages

• The 8605 over-travel slide carries a 140 lb load rating, so drawers in commercial storage or retail displays can handle heavier contents without exceeding the slide's rated capacity.
• Side mount configuration with ball bearing action delivers smooth telescopic travel, which supports repeatable drawer movement in residential or commercial furniture builds.
• The unhanded slide design allows installation on either side of the drawer, which reduces part sorting and keeps field installation straightforward across multiple cabinets.
• A 24 inch length matches common cabinet depths, so installers can line up drawer fronts with faces in standard residential or light commercial casework.
• The specified clearance of .51 inch plus .01 inch to 0 inch on each side defines the drawer box width, helping builders size boxes accurately before production or installation.
• A slide height of 1.98 inch (50.4 mm) sets the vertical space requirement, so installers can plan drawer spacing and stagger slides cleanly in stacked configurations.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Installation Details

This Knape and Vogt 8605 series slide is a side mount ball bearing design, so it fastens to the cabinet side and drawer side rather than under the drawer, which suits standard framed and frameless casework layouts. The hole pattern supports both 32 mm system drilling and traditional mounting, giving flexibility in shops that use line boring systems or field drilling. The slide uses a butterfly lever disconnect, so the drawer member can be separated from the cabinet member, which can simplify drawer removal during fitting or service. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips truss head screws, aligning slide mounting with common cabinet screw sizes already in many installers' assortments. This configuration is described as suitable for face frame mounting, supporting use in typical North American face frame cabinetry.

Using The 8605 Over Travel Slide In Your Projects

Where This 24 Inch Over Travel Slide Works Best

The KV Models 8600 full extension and 8605 overtravel ball bearing drawer slides at 24 inch length are designed for residential and commercial furniture, commercial storage, and retail store displays, so they align with many cabinet shop and fixture applications. In a kitchen or office furniture run, the 24 inch length pairs well with standard-depth bases, allowing drawers to use the available cabinet depth efficiently. In commercial storage, the 140 lb load rating of the 8605 over-travel slide supports heavier stored items within the slide's rating. Retail store displays benefit from the over-travel action, because drawers can extend beyond the cabinet face, improving access to stored product during restocking or service. The side mount format fits typical drawer and cabinet constructions, so builders can integrate these slides into existing box designs. The unhanded configuration means the same part number can be used on both left and right sides across entire projects.

Details That Support Accurate Drawer Alignment

The specified clearance of .51 inch plus .01 inch to 0 inch on each side establishes a defined gap for drawer box sizing, helping maintain consistent reveal and smooth travel across a bank of drawers. A slide height of 1.98 inch (50.4 mm) provides a known vertical envelope, which is useful when stacking multiple drawers where clearances are tight. The butterfly lever disconnect allows the drawer member to be removed from the cabinet member, supporting easier alignment of drawer fronts since the box can be handled separately from the cabinet. Compatibility with 32 mm and traditional hole patterns lets installers follow shop drilling standards, which can speed layout and reduce measuring time on repetitive runs. The side mount, telescopic ball bearing action provides full extension with over-travel, helping drawers clear face frames or door overlays where additional projection is useful for access. ANSI performance standards established by BIFMA, BHMA, and KCMA are met or exceeded, aligning the slide with recognized performance benchmarks for cabinetry and furniture hardware.
