KV8400 28" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount White Bulk-Pack - 8400B WH 28

Knape And Vogt 28 Inch Drawer Slides For Full Access

Knape and Vogt 28 inch drawer slides give a 28 inch full extension travel, so the drawer can be pulled fully forward for clear access to stored items and easier work inside cabinets. These 8400 Series slides use ball bearing action, which supports smooth movement along the length of travel and helps maintain consistent operation under load in everyday use. The design is non-handed, so the same slide model works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies layout and reduces sorting time during installation. A hold-in anti-rebound feature is part of this slide series, helping the drawer stay in the closed position once pushed shut, which is useful where repeated opening from vibration is a concern. The white finish presents a clean appearance on light cabinetry, which supports projects where hardware visibility matters. These slides are part of the KV Model 8400 family, aligning with established shop standards.

Key Working Details Of The KV 8400B WH 28 Slides

• The side clearance specification of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the space between drawer and cabinet, guiding drawer box sizing so the slides run freely without side binding in the opening.
• The slide height of 1-13/16 inch sets the vertical envelope for the hardware, allowing planning of drawer side heights and clearances so the slide fits between the drawer bottom and any adjacent components.
• The 32 mm pattern is present on these slides, supporting layouts that follow 32 mm cabinet system drilling, which can speed production drilling and help maintain consistent alignment across multiple cabinets.
• The lever disconnect feature allows the drawer member to be separated from the cabinet member, which streamlines drawer removal for finishing, adjustment, or service and supports efficient reinstallation after shop work.
• The ball retainer latch is part of the design, helping hold the ball bearings in position, which supports smooth running of the slide and helps maintain performance after repeated cycles in service.

Side Mount Installation And Fastener Selection Details

These slides are designed as side mount drawer slides, so they fasten to the drawer sides and cabinet sides, creating a stable lateral support path for the drawer box. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips Truss Head (BST1/2X7-2C), giving a specific screw size and head style that matches the mounting holes and slide thickness for secure attachment. Using the side clearance value of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, the cabinet opening and drawer box width can be planned to maintain the running clearance the ball bearings need. The 1-13/16 inch height and 32 mm pattern also influence hole locations along the cabinet side, supporting integration into 32 mm line-bored casework where accurate vertical positioning is important.

Using 8400B WH 28 Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where These Side Mount Drawer Slides Fit Best

The KV Model 8400 28 inch length suits drawers where a 28 inch full extension travel is desired, providing reach to the back of the drawer in deeper base cabinets or storage units. With a side mount configuration, these slides are suited to cabinet designs that have solid sides available for mounting, allowing them to carry the drawer along the full length of the slide. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side directs how wide the drawer box should be in relation to the cabinet opening, which is central when building new drawer boxes to ride correctly on the slides. Because the slides are non-handed, one part number covers both left and right sides, fitting shops that want to minimize separate stocking for each side while keeping orientation simple on the bench.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Slide Performance

The ball bearing construction of these 8400 Series slides provides a defined rolling interface between the members, which enhances the slide action over the full 28 inch extension and supports consistent movement after repeated opening and closing. The hold-in anti-rebound feature interacts with the slide travel to help the drawer stay closed once it is pushed fully in, which is valuable in installations where drawers might otherwise drift open from movement or minor case racking. The lever disconnect on the slide lets the installer separate the drawer member from the cabinet member without tools, which improves workflow when drawer boxes are finished separately from cases or when later adjustments are needed. The white finish offers a light, neutral appearance and supports projects where the slide may be visible when the drawer is open, helping it blend with painted or light-colored interiors. With the 32 mm pattern provided, the slide aligns with system drilling used in many cabinet shops, supporting repeatable hole placement and easing alignment from cabinet to cabinet.
