Soft-Close Full Extension in a 12-Inch Undermount That Fits Both Cabinet Types

The Knape and Vogt GSlide KVGS-2070B is a 12-inch soft-close, full-extension undermount drawer slide built for face-frame and frameless cabinets alike, rated at 75 lb per pair and designed for drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Dual cabinet compatibility — fits face-frame and frameless cabinet constructions without a separate face-frame version.
• Soft-close motion — an integrated damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly.
• Full extension — brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the full interior is reachable.
• 75 lb per pair capacity — handles a loaded small drawer in kitchen, bath, or office cabinetry.
• 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer side compatibility — works with both standard side thicknesses without swapping parts.
• Zinc finish on steel — durable, corrosion-resistant finish suited to indoor cabinet environments.

Where the 12-Inch Slide Belongs

A 12-inch slide matches short drawer boxes — think spice drawers, narrow utility pulls, bathroom vanity drawers, and small cabinet inserts where a longer slide simply will not fit the available cabinet depth. Full extension on a 12-inch slide means the entire drawer clears the face opening, giving unobstructed access to contents at the back of a compact box. For production shops running varied drawer depths, the GSlide's face-frame and frameless compatibility means one SKU covers two cabinet constructions rather than two separate line items. In face-frame installations, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide — these are sold separately, so add them to the order if your cabinets are framed.

Construction and Finish

The GSlide is steel with a zinc finish — a practical combination for cabinetry hardware that spends its life inside a box. Zinc plating over steel resists corrosion in normal indoor conditions and holds up through years of drawer cycles. The bearing system is roller-based rather than ball-bearing, which keeps the profile compact and the price in the GSlide's value position while still delivering the smooth, consistent travel that a soft-close finish requires. The integrated soft-close damper is part of the slide itself, not a retrofit add-on, so there are no extra components to source or mount. The slide accepts drawer sides between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch thick — the two most common thicknesses in production drawer box work — and the drawer box must be built to the GSlide's published specification for the nominal 12-inch length, including correct box width and any required rear notching.

Who This Slide Suits

Cabinet shops producing small drawer banks, vanity units, or narrow kitchen inserts will get the most from this SKU: it covers face-frame and frameless work in one part number, handles both common side thicknesses, and delivers soft-close performance at a production-friendly price. Designers specifying hardware for compact bathrooms or butler's pantries benefit from the full-extension reach on a short drawer — every inch of a small box matters. Contractors handling mixed cabinet types on a renovation can run one slide across framed and frameless sections of the same project, adding rear brackets where the face-frame units need them.

A Short Slide That Does Not Cut Corners

The GSlide KVGS-2070B brings soft-close, full-extension performance to the drawer sizes and cabinet types that often get overlooked — compact boxes, mixed construction sites, and value-conscious production runs where one SKU covering both face-frame and frameless work keeps things moving.
