This is a 26 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 pushes the drawer past full extension so the contents clear a countertop overhang or deep face frame. The zinc finish blends cleanly into steel cabinet interiors and holds up through years of daily indoor cycling.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer out to the cabinet face. That is enough for open shelving and flush-face cabinets, but it falls short when a countertop overhangs the cabinet opening or when a deep face frame sets the box back from the front. The 8605 adds that extra inch of travel, so the drawer clears the obstruction and the back of the box is genuinely reachable. Workshop tool cabinets with lip edges, kitchen base cabinets under thick stone countertops, and shop carts with rail flanges are the common fits. At 140 lb per pair, the slide also handles the kind of loaded drawer — full of hand tools, hardware, or files — that pushes past what a standard 100 lb kitchen slide is rated for.
The 8605 series is formed from steel with a zinc electroplate finish — the segment's standard for indoor utility and storage applications. Zinc protects the steel members through years of open-and-close cycles in a dry or climate-controlled environment. It is a functional finish, visible beside the open drawer box, and it reads as neutral in painted steel or melamine interiors. This is not a decorative or corrosion-resistant finish for wet, marine, or outdoor use; it belongs in cabinet shops, garages, offices, and utility rooms.
The 8605 series in zinc targets cabinet shops, contractors, and facility builders specifying drawers that carry real weight in a controlled environment. A 26 inch slide suits a deeper drawer box in a base cabinet or a full shop-cart drawer, and the 140 lb rating covers the load without requiring a step up to a specialty industrial slide. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical and either fits either side. Bulk-Pack format makes it practical for shops stocking a run of cabinets rather than buying retail pairs one at a time. In face-frame cabinet installations, add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series, sold separately, to support the back end of each slide.
No. Twenty-six inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is an over-travel slide, the drawer member travels the full 26 inches plus an additional inch past that — bringing the total travel to approximately 27 inches. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
Standard motion means the slide has no soft-close damper and no self-close spring. The drawer stays at whatever position it is left — fully open, partially open, or closed. There is no mechanism pulling it shut or slowing it down.
The 8605 requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap on both sides.
No. The 8605 is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and either one installs on either side of the drawer. Order the quantity you need without matching left and right.
Bulk-Pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than in retail polybags. Confirm included mounting screws against the product spec sheet; if screws are not included in the pack, standard sheet-metal or wood screws through the 32mm hole pattern complete the install.
When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the opening is tight, the KV 8605 in zinc covers the gap that a standard 100 lb cabinet slide leaves behind — in a non-handed, volume-friendly format ready for the next shop run.
