This is a 12 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent and a zinc finish. It arrives in bulk packaging — the right format for cabinet shops running these in quantity across a build.
The 12 inch length is the go-to for shallower drawers: spice pull-outs, bathroom vanity drawers, desk pedestals, and small utility cabinets where a longer slide would hit the back panel. Full extension means the entire drawer clears the opening — no reaching past a partial-open drawer to get at what is inside. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is particularly useful in shop and office settings where drawers get closed with some force; the mechanical catch stops the drawer face from bouncing back off the cabinet and leaving a gap.
The slide members are cold-formed steel running on steel ball bearings in full-length raceways. The zinc finish is the segment's working standard for indoor cabinetry — functional protection against moisture and oxidation, not a decorative or architectural finish. It sits beside the drawer box when the drawer is open, mostly out of sight. For a more visible installation or a color-matched cabinet interior, other finish options in the 8400 series are available; zinc is the production choice when the slide is behind a door or under a panel.
Cabinet shops and millwork operations running a 12 inch drawer as a repeating component are the natural fit here. Bulk-Pack pricing and packaging skip the retail overhead of polybag sets, so the per-pair cost reflects a trade quantity order. The non-handed design and lever disconnect on the 8400 series keep installation fast — one slide part number covers both sides of every drawer, and the drawer member pulls free without tools for finishing or delivery. This slide is for indoor work; it is not rated for wet, exterior, or corrosive environments.
The hold-in detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed once it has been pushed shut and stops it from bouncing back open. It does not slow the closing motion. Soft-close uses a damper to decelerate the drawer over the last inch of travel and settle it silently. This slide has the detent, not a damper.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in a pair are identical. Order the quantity your drawer count requires without worrying about left/right pairing.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. The drawer box depth should match the 12 inch nominal slide length within the cabinet's available interior depth.
It can, but face-frame construction sets the cabinet side back from the face, so the rear of the slide needs support. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — fixed or floating depending on your installation — sold separately. The brackets are series-specific to the 8400.
Bulk-Pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than in individual polybags or retail boxes. It is the trade format for shops ordering in volume. Confirm the pack quantity at checkout; individual pair counts vary by order configuration.
A 12 inch full-extension zinc slide with a hold-in detent handles the short-run, high-volume drawer applications that make up a large share of production cabinet work — spec it once and pull it for every vanity, desk, or utility drawer on the job.
