Zinc Full-Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slide Built for the Long Haul

The Knape and Vogt 8400 Series 22 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide gives you full extension and a hold-in anti-rebound detent in a zinc-finished steel slide rated 100 lb per pair. It is the standard-duty workhorse of the KV line, fitting kitchen, utility, and office drawers where smooth travel and a stay-closed detent matter more than concealed hardware.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the back of the box is fully reachable.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed after a firm push and prevents it from bouncing back open.
• 100 lb weight capacity per pair handles a loaded kitchen or utility drawer without straining the slide members.
• Zinc finish provides indoor corrosion resistance on the steel members and blends with standard cabinet interiors.
• Non-handed design means the same slide fits either side of the drawer, no left-right sorting required.
• Poly-Pack packaging delivers one pair with mounting hardware, ready for a single drawer install.

Where the 8400 Series Earns Its Place

Full extension on a 22 inch slide means the drawer travels far enough to expose every inch of the box, which matters in a deep base cabinet where pots, utensils, or shop supplies stack toward the back. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds value in high-traffic kitchens and workshop benches where a loaded drawer might otherwise drift or bounce back when closed with purpose. The 8400 series works in face-frame and frameless cabinets. In frameless construction the slide mounts directly to the panel on the 32mm hole grid. In face-frame construction, add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to support the slide's back end.

Steel Construction and Zinc Finish

The slide members are cold-formed steel, running steel ball bearings in full-length raceways for consistent, smooth travel under load. Zinc plating protects the steel against the humidity swings typical of a kitchen or garage interior. This is a functional indoor finish — it is not stainless steel and is not rated for wet or exterior environments. The 1/2 inch side clearance per side is standard for this slide, so the drawer box goes in 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

The Right Fit for Volume Cabinet Work

The 8400 series is designed for standard cabinet drawers up to 24 inches wide, making the 22 inch length a natural match for most kitchen base and utility cabinet applications. Cabinet shops running production quantities will find the poly-pack format practical for single-drawer pulls — one pair, hardware included, per bag. Homeowners replacing worn slides or upgrading a builder-grade cabinet get the same product the trade uses. The non-handed format keeps inventory simple: stock one SKU and it goes on either side.

A Dependable Slide for Drawers That Get Used

The KV 8400 series 22 inch slide puts full extension, a stay-closed detent, and a proven zinc steel build into one poly-packed pair — the right combination for a kitchen base cabinet, shop bench, or utility drawer that sees daily use.
