This is a 24 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 suited to production cabinet environments. Sold in bulk pack for shops running volume drawer builds.
At 24 inches, this slide length suits deep kitchen base drawers and full-depth utility cabinets where the drawer box runs close to the full cabinet interior depth. Full extension carries the drawer completely clear of the case opening, which matters when the drawer is loaded front to back and the rear contents need to be reachable without digging. The hold-in detent does one specific job: it keeps a closed drawer from rebounding open when shut with any force. That behavior matters in high-use kitchens and shop environments where drawers get pushed shut quickly and a bounce-back is an annoyance or a hazard. The detent is not a soft-close mechanism and does not pull the drawer shut on its own — it simply holds the position once the drawer is closed.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in cabinetry — a functional, durable coating that protects the steel through years of indoor service. It is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet, outdoor, or corrosive environments; this slide belongs in dry interior cabinet work. The zinc coating on the 8400 series is listed in the KV catalog as anochrome, which is KV's designation for their zinc finish on this line. The slide profile sits beside the drawer box when the drawer is open, so the finish contributes to a clean, consistent look inside the cabinet.
Cabinet shops building kitchen, bath, or utility cabinetry in volume are the natural buyers here: the bulk-pack format, 100 lb class rating, and non-handed design all reduce the friction of a high-drawer-count project. The 24 inch length is the right match for standard 24 inch deep base cabinets and drawers built to run close to the full interior depth. Each slide mounts to the cabinet interior on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide — those brackets are series-specific and sold separately. Frameless installs mount directly to the cabinet side panel using the 32mm system hole pattern.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed once shut and prevents it from bouncing back open. It does not slow the drawer down, and it does not pull the drawer shut the way a spring-close mechanism does. If damped, quiet closing is the goal, look at soft-close slide options in this series.
Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face. The slide's nominal length is 24 inches, which is the closed length — it is also the approximate travel, but those are two separate measurements. Do not confuse slide length with how far the drawer opens on a 3/4-extension model; on a full-extension slide like this one, the two numbers are very close.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order the quantity you need based on drawer count, not by left and right.
Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. The appropriate rear brackets for the KV 8400 series are sold separately — use series-matched brackets, not a generic or cross-brand bracket.
Bulk-pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than in individual retail polybags. It is the standard format for shops pulling slides by the drawer count from stock. Confirm the pack quantity per carton at the time of order to plan your project quantities accurately.
The KV 8400 series 24 inch zinc slide covers the standard kitchen drawer depth at a 100 lb class rating, with full extension for complete drawer access and a hold-in detent that keeps things closed and tidy once the cabinet is in use.
