Hettich KA4620 14" Side Mount Over-Travel 200 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 9019955

200 lb Capacity And A Countertop-Clearing 1-1/2 Inch Over-Travel

The Hettich KA 4620 14 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is built for drawers that carry real weight and sit beneath an overhang. Rated at 200 lb and engineered with 1-1/2 inches of over-travel beyond full extension, it solves two problems at once: the load exceeds what a standard cabinet slide handles, and the countertop edge or deep face frame would otherwise block access to the back of the drawer.

Key Features

• 200 lb weight capacity — doubles the load class of a standard 100 lb cabinet slide, suited to heavy shop, utility, and storage drawers.
• 1-1/2 inch over-travel — the drawer member extends 1-1/2 inches past full extension, pushing the drawer clear of worktop overhangs and deep face frames.
• Steel ball bearing construction — hardened steel balls in full-length raceways deliver smooth, controlled travel under heavy loads.
• Non-handed design — one slide fits either side of the drawer, so there is no left/right sorting at the bench.
• Zinc finish — standard indoor corrosion protection on the formed steel members.
• Standard motion — no self-close, soft-close, or detent; the drawer stays exactly where it is left.

Where Over-Travel Changes the Install

A slide rated for full extension stops at the cabinet face. On this one, the drawer keeps moving for another 1-1/2 inches. Under a countertop with a standard overhang, that extra travel brings the full interior of a 14 inch drawer into view and within reach. The same advantage applies in face-frame cabinets where the frame sits proud of the cabinet side and would otherwise clip the drawer's accessible depth. For a shop bench with a lip, a kitchen island with a thick stone top, or any install where the opening is partially blocked at full open, the over-travel spec solves the access problem without a cabinet modification.

The 200 lb capacity puts this slide in a different duty class than the slides used for standard kitchen drawers. It is appropriate for drawers carrying tools, hardware bins, heavy stock, or commercial-grade loads that would exceed what a 100 lb slide is rated to handle per pair.

Steel, Zinc, and a Standard-Motion Mechanism

The KA 4620 is formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish, the standard material and finish combination for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor service. Zinc protects the steel members from the light corrosion exposure of a shop or kitchen environment. This is a functional finish on a slide that sits beside the drawer box; it is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is not rated for wet, washdown, or exterior applications.

Motion is standard: no damper, no spring, no closing ramp. The drawer rides the bearings freely and stays at whatever position it is left. That is the right choice when a closing mechanism would interfere with the application or when the 200 lb load class is the primary selection criterion and motion features are secondary.

Shops, Benches, and Any Drawer Under an Overhang

This slide fits well in any setting where the combination of a heavy load and a partially obstructed opening would cause problems with a standard slide. Woodworking shops with tool drawers built into a bench, utility rooms with hardware storage under a countertop, and commercial cabinetry with thick face frames are the natural applications. It also works in residential kitchens where an island or peninsula has a deep overhang and the drawer carries heavier contents than a typical pantry drawer. Because the design is non-handed, it orders and installs as a standard pair without handed SKUs to track.

The Right Slide When Load and Access Both Matter

When the drawer is heavy and the opening is partially blocked, a standard full-extension slide at the standard load class leaves problems unsolved. The KA 4620 14 inch over-travel slide addresses both with a 200 lb rating and 1-1/2 inches of travel past full extension, so the drawer clears the obstruction and holds the load.
