KV8815 28" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8815B 28

Knape And Vogt 28 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Knape and Vogt 28 inch over travel drawer slides give a drawer extended travel beyond full extension, which helps installers and users access the back of deep drawers without obstruction. These 8815 Series ball bearing slides use heavy-duty ball bearings to carry heavy loads smoothly, so wide, loaded drawers move without sticking during daily use. The side mount design keeps the hardware along the cabinet sides, which suits standard face frame and frameless layouts that are already set up for side mounting. A non-handed design means each slide works on either side, which simplifies layout on the bench and reduces the chance of grabbing the wrong member. A height of 2.09 inches and slide width of 3/4 inch create a predictable envelope, which matters when fitting into tight clearances next to roll-outs or pull-out trays.

Key Working Details For 8815B 28 Slides

• The 28 inch length sets the drawer travel, which suits cabinets built around standard 24 inch to 28 inch drawer depths where full access and over travel are important for storage reach.
• A 200 lb load rating supports heavy drawers, which allows storage of dense items in wide drawer boxes without over-stressing the slide during repeated opening and closing.
• The slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, which gives shop staff a clear design envelope for using these slides on large, stable drawer constructions.
• Side clearance of 3/4 inch plus 0.03 inch minus 0 inch defines the drawer-to-cabinet gap, which guides builders when sizing drawer box widths for a consistent fit.
• The hold-in anti-rebound feature resists the drawer drifting back open, which helps keep fronts aligned in banks of drawers after closing during everyday use.
• The ball bearing construction supports the heaviest loads without sticking, which keeps drawer motion smooth even when cabinet contents shift during operation.

Side Mount Installation And Clearance Details

These Knape and Vogt 8815B 28 slides are side mount, which places the slide along each drawer side and cabinet side, giving installers a familiar layout for shop-built casework. A slide width of 3/4 inch aligns with the specified side clearance of 3/4 inch plus 0.03 inch minus 0 inch, so builders can size drawer boxes with predictable spacing for a straight, parallel fit. The recommended #10 x 5/8 inch Phillips flathead screw fasteners indicate a screw size and head style that seats properly in the slide holes, which helps the slide sit flat against the wood and maintain alignment under a 200 lb load. A height of 2.09 inches keeps the slide profile compact, which can be useful when stacking drawers vertically inside a cabinet.

Where These 8815B 28 Slides Perform Best

The KV Model 8815 28 inch slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, which positions it well for wide kitchen, shop, or storage drawers that must remain stable when extended. Over travel performance lets the drawer move past the cabinet front, which exposes the full drawer box and helps users reach items at the very back without shifting contents. The side mount, ball bearing design supports heavy-duty loads, so drawers carrying tools, hardware, or other dense materials still move smoothly. A slide width of 3/4 inch matches many existing cabinet layouts, which is useful when standardizing builds across multiple jobs. The 2.09 inch height profile also fits typical drawer side heights, which helps avoid conflicts with bottom grooves or under-drawer features.

Design Details That Support Consistent Results

The non-handed design of these 8815 Series slides means each member can be used on either side of the drawer, which simplifies inventory and reduces handling time during installation. The butterfly lever release gives a defined mechanism for separating drawer and cabinet members, which helps installers remove drawers for adjustments or service without disturbing cabinet alignment. Hold-in anti-rebound functionality helps the drawer remain fully closed once pushed shut, which keeps drawer fronts flush and reduces nuisance openings on frequently used cabinets. The specified side clearance of 3/4 inch plus 0.03 inch minus 0 inch provides a tight tolerance window, which guides drawer box sizing so slides track accurately without racking. Heavy-duty ball bearings are stated to carry the heaviest loads without sticking, which supports long-term smooth operation when drawers are built within the recommended width and load range.
