The Knape and Vogt 8400 Series 10 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is a full-extension, 100 lb rated pair built for shallow cabinet drawers where reliable travel and a stay-closed detent matter. The zinc finish is the functional standard for indoor side-mount work — durable, unobtrusive, and at home in any cabinet interior.
A 10 inch slide is the right choice when the cabinet is shallow: spice pullouts, narrow base cabinet inserts, bathroom vanity drawers, and small upper-cabinet roll-outs. Full extension on a short slide means the rear of the drawer clears the opening completely — critical when the drawer is only 10 inches deep and every inch of storage counts. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is especially useful in these compact applications, where a lightly loaded shallow drawer can otherwise drift or bounce open on its own.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish, the workhorse combination for side-mount ball bearing slides in dry, indoor cabinetry. Zinc electroplate resists everyday corrosion through years of kitchen and bathroom service without adding visual weight to the cabinet interior. The finish blends into the cabinet box and stays out of sight once the drawer is installed — the right call for utility work where appearance of the hardware behind the drawer front is not a design concern.
Cabinet shops running production work on shallow drawers, contractors replacing worn slides in compact vanities or kitchen inserts, and homeowners fitting out a small built-in will all find the 8400 Series 10 inch a straightforward choice. The non-handed design speeds installation — no sorting, no risk of grabbing two matching sides. This SKU ships as a Bulk-Pack, making it practical for shops ordering multiples to cover a run of identical shallow drawers. The 32mm hole pattern aligns with standard line-bored frameless cabinet panels, and face-frame installs need rear mounting brackets, sold separately.
No. The 10 inch measurement is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension model, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face — but slide length and travel distance are two separate facts, and full extension is what makes that travel possible.
The detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed once pushed shut, preventing it from bouncing back open. It does not pull the drawer closed (that would be self-close) and it does not slow the drawer down (that would be soft-close). The drawer simply stays put until you pull it.
No. The 8400 Series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order the quantity of pairs your drawer count requires.
The slide itself installs in face-frame or frameless construction, but face-frame cabinets need rear support where the slide's back end would otherwise hang unsupported. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — sold separately — for face-frame installs.
Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 1/2 inch of side clearance for each slide — the standard clearance for this series.
When the job calls for a compact, reliable slide that opens completely and stays closed when it should, the KV 8400 Series 10 inch in zinc delivers exactly that — no more, no less, and ready to install in quantity.
