KV8605 28" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8605B 28
Description
Knape And Vogt 28 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slide
Knape and Vogt 28 inch over travel drawer slide 8605B 28 is an unhanded side mount ball bearing slide designed for drawers in residential and commercial furniture, commercial storage, and retail store displays. The 8605 over-travel design delivers 28 inch length with over-travel action, so the drawer moves beyond full extension for better access to contents in deep cabinets or storage fixtures. Telescopic action with ball bearings provides smooth movement along the entire stroke, which supports controlled opening and closing on frequently used drawers. A 140 lb load rating on the 8605 over-travel model supports heavier contents in storage and display applications without changing slide type between similar cabinet runs. The zinc finish presents a clean, neutral appearance inside casework while resisting typical shop and building environments. This side mount configuration fits standard drawer construction in the side mount drawer slides class, helping keep casework layout consistent across projects.
Key Working Advantages For Drawers And Casework
- The 8605 over-travel ball bearing design allows the drawer to move past full extension, giving better reach to the rear of the drawer in storage and display cabinets.
- A 140 lb load rating on the 8605 over-travel slide supports heavier drawer contents, helping maintain smooth action under commercial storage or furniture loads.
- Unhanded side mount configuration lets the same slide work on either side, simplifying layout and reducing part variation across furniture or cabinet runs.
- Telescopic slide action with ball bearings supports controlled, consistent movement, which matters for drawers that are opened and closed repeatedly in residential or commercial use.
- The zinc finish provides a neutral appearance and surface protection, which suits interior cabinet installations in furniture, storage, and retail displays.
- A height of 1.98 inches and clearance of 0.51 inch plus 0.01 inch to 0 inch on each side gives defined spacing, aiding drawer box sizing and casework design.
Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Mounting Details
This Knape and Vogt 8605 series side mount drawer slide uses a standard side mounting method, fitting within the side mount drawer slides product class used in many cabinet and furniture builds. A clearance of 0.51 inch plus 0.01 inch to 0 inch on each side sets the required gap between drawer side and cabinet, guiding drawer box width so the ball bearing action operates without binding. The slide height of 1.98 inches, or 50.4 mm, defines the vertical space needed along the drawer side, which helps when stacking drawers or working within shallow cabinet openings. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips truss head, aligning with common shop inventory for mounting into drawer sides and cabinet members. The unhanded configuration and butterfly lever disconnect support straightforward mounting on either side while allowing drawer removal when casework needs service or modification.
Using The 8605 Over Travel Slide In Projects
Where This 28 Inch Drawer Slide Fits Best
The Knape and Vogt 8605 series 28 inch over travel standard ball bearing drawer slide is designed for residential and commercial furniture, commercial storage, and retail store displays, aligning with typical cabinet and fixture construction in those environments. The side mount configuration matches standard drawer layouts where slides fasten to the drawer sides and cabinet carcass, which suits face frame or frameless designs identified in the side mount drawer slides category. The hole pattern supports both 32 mm and traditional layouts, so it works within European-style line boring systems as well as more traditional face frame drilling patterns used in many shops. A slide configuration classified as unhanded lets one part number serve left and right sides, which simplifies planning for multi-drawer runs in storage banks, display fixtures, or built-in furniture projects using the 8605B 28 model.
Details That Support Repeatable Slide Installation
The 8605 over-travel ball bearing drawer slide uses telescopic action, so its nested members extend in sequence, providing full extension plus over-travel from the 28 inch length for consistent access across multiple cabinets. A 140 lb load rating on the over-travel version sets a clear working range for drawer contents, which helps keep performance consistent between residential furniture, commercial storage, and retail display fixtures using similar hardware. The 0.51 inch plus 0.01 inch to 0 inch clearance on each side defines drawer box sizing, supporting repeatable cutting patterns when building multiple boxes in a run. Height at 1.98 inches, or 50.4 mm, also supports consistent drawer side design when stacking drawers vertically within a cabinet bank. The butterfly lever disconnect allows the drawer to be separated from the cabinet member, which helps during finishing, transport within a project site, or later adjustments and service. Meeting or exceeding ANSI performance standards established by BIFMA, BHMA, and KCMA ties the slide to recognized performance criteria, supporting confidence when specifying it for demanding commercial or institutional casework. A limited lifetime warranty from Knape and Vogt underscores the intended service life in typical furniture, storage, and display applications.
