This is a 28 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 countertop overhangs and deep face frames. The zinc finish is the standard working finish for this line. Sold as a bulk pack.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer face to the cabinet face — useful, but the drawer front stops right at the opening. Add a countertop overhang, a thick face frame, or a deep apron rail, and the last few inches of the drawer are suddenly harder to reach. The 8605's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer past that boundary so the rear of the box is genuinely accessible. That extra inch matters most on worktop drawers in a shop, file drawers under a desk overhang, and base cabinet drawers beneath a thick stone top. At 28 inches, this slide also suits deeper cabinets — typical 24 inch kitchen drawers run on shorter slides, so this length is sized for shop benches, utility bases, and deeper custom cabinetry.
The 8605 is cold-formed steel throughout, with a zinc plated finish for indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc is the practical standard for side-mount ball bearing slides — it protects the steel members through years of service in a dry interior environment and sits quietly beside the drawer box where it is largely out of sight. This is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet, marine, or exterior applications. For those environments, look at the stainless variant in this series.
Cabinet shops building utility bases, shop furniture, or commercial casework are the natural fit for this slide. The 140 lb rating and 1 inch over-travel position the 8605 above standard kitchen hardware, and the bulk-pack format rewards volume buyers. Contractors fitting out a workshop, specifiers putting deep base cabinets under a thick countertop, and shops replacing slides in an existing heavy-duty application all reach for this series. Because the slide is non-handed, a single bulk order covers every position in the project without sorting.
No. 28 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is an over-travel model, the drawer member travels the full 28 inches plus 1 additional inch beyond that — but slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
A full-extension slide brings the drawer out to roughly the cabinet face. An over-travel slide goes 1 inch further, which is the difference between barely reaching the back of the drawer and actually getting into it when there is an overhang or frame in the way.
No. The 8605 is a standard-motion slide — no damper, no closing spring, no detent. The drawer stays wherever you leave it. If damped closing matters for the application, look at the soft-close models in this segment.
No. The 8605 is non-handed — both slides are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order the quantity you need and install them as a pair without sorting.
It can, but face-frame construction sets the cabinet side back from the opening, which means the rear of the slide needs support. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets for face-frame installs — they are sold separately and are series-specific.
When the drawer depth is long, the load is heavy, and the countertop or frame gets in the way of a standard slide, the 8605 closes the gap — 140 lb of rated capacity, 1 inch of over-travel, and a bulk format that keeps a high-volume shop moving.
