This is a 28 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a zinc finish and a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer from bouncing back open after it is pushed shut.
A 28 inch slide suits deep base cabinet drawers, pot-and-pan pullouts, and shop benches where a shorter slide would leave useful storage beyond reach. Full extension means the whole drawer clears the cabinet opening — critical when the back of a deep drawer holds items that need to be found quickly. The hold-in detent adds a practical benefit on drawers heavy enough to drift: a loaded shop drawer stays shut on its own until the next time it is needed.
The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc, the workhorse finish of this segment. Zinc plating protects the steel members through years of indoor cycling and keeps the slide functional in kitchen, office, and light shop environments. It is a practical, low-profile finish that sits beside the drawer box, mostly out of sight once the drawer is installed. This is not a stainless or decorative finish and is suited to dry indoor applications.
Cabinet shops building deep base cabinets, kitchen designers specifying pantry pullouts, and contractors fitting utility rooms or shop benches will all find the 28 inch length useful where standard 22 or 24 inch slides come up short. The 100 lb per-pair rating handles a fully loaded pots-and-pans drawer or a deep storage drawer without issue. This slide ships as a poly-pack, one pair per bag with mounting hardware included, which suits both single-drawer jobs and small production runs.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed once pushed shut and stops it from bouncing back open. There is no damper and no spring assist — the drawer does not slow down or ease itself closed. For damped closing, look at the soft-close ball bearing slides in this catalog.
Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the whole drawer clear of the cabinet. Slide length still measures the closed slide, not the travel distance.
Knape and Vogt recommends a maximum drawer width of 24 inches for 8400 series slides. Build the box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide.
It can, but face-frame installations require rear mounting support at the back of the slide. KV rear mounting brackets for the 8400 series are sold separately — do not skip the bracket in face-frame work or the slide will lack support at the rear.
One pair of slides — both the cabinet member and the drawer member for one complete drawer — along with mounting hardware, bagged together.
When the drawer is deep, the load is real, and a drawer that creeps back open is a daily frustration, the 8400 series 28 inch slide in zinc gives a straightforward, spec-honest answer: full access, 100 lb capacity per pair, and a hold-in detent that means closed stays closed.
