The Knape & Vogt 8400 series 6 inch full-extension ball-bearing drawer slide is a side-mount slide sized for compact drawers in shop casework, base cabinets, utility storage, and anywhere a short drawer needs dependable, full-travel ball-bearing action. The zinc finish keeps it invisible inside the cabinet and holds up through daily use without fuss.
Short drawers are a specific problem. A spice drawer, a shallow utility tray, a shop cabinet organizer insert, a narrow base-cabinet pullout — these spaces call for a slide that delivers full access without requiring a deep cabinet. At 6 inches, this slide opens a shallow drawer completely so every inch of the box is reachable. The hold-in detent is especially useful in these applications: small drawers in high-traffic areas get opened and closed dozens of times a day, and the anti-rebound feature means they stay shut between uses instead of creeping open. Side-mount geometry and 1/2 inch clearance per side keep the installation straightforward in standard frameless or face-frame cabinets.
The zinc finish on these steel slides is a functional, hardware-grade surface treatment built for indoor cabinetry. It blends naturally with raw wood interiors, light melamine, and unfinished cabinet boxes without drawing attention. The Anochrome designation reflects the zinc plating used across the KV 8400 program — a durable, low-maintenance finish that resists the humidity and handling common in kitchen, shop, and utility settings. These are indoor slides; for wet or washdown environments, a stainless option is the right call instead.
Cabinet shops running production work reach for the 8400 bulk pack when they need a dependable short slide in volume without paying for features the application does not require. The 6 inch length fills a gap that longer slides cannot: drawers built into upper cabinets, narrow islands, bathroom vanities, and shallow utility casework. Contractors completing installs and homeowners refreshing existing casework find the non-handed design and straightforward side-mount geometry easy to work with. Sold as a bulk pack, the quantity works for shops pulling multiples for a run rather than sourcing pairs one at a time.
Yes. In a face-frame cabinet the slide's back end needs support. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for the 8400 series — they are sold separately and are series-specific.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open. It does not damp or slow the closing motion the way a soft-close mechanism does.
Allow 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide — build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave room for both slides.
Bulk-pack slide products in this series are typically sold by the pair; verify the pack quantity shown on the product page before ordering multiples for a production run.
When the drawer is only 6 inches deep and access to every inch matters, this is the slide that gets the job done cleanly — full extension, solid detent, and a zinc finish that disappears into the cabinet and stays there.
