This is a 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, rated 100 lb per pair, finished in zinc, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer closed after shutting. Sold in a bulk pack for shops and contractors equipping multiple cabinets at once.
A 26 inch slide is the right call when the cabinet runs full depth — standard 24 inch base cabinets with the drawer box built to depth, tall utility cabinets, pantry pull-outs, and workshop storage. At that length, full extension matters: the drawer clears the cabinet opening completely, so reaching the back of a deep pot drawer or a loaded tool drawer does not require digging. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a quiet workhorse feature in these applications — a heavily loaded drawer pushed shut has enough momentum to bounce back open on a plain slide, and the detent stops that.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the segment's working standard for indoor cabinetry: it resists the light corrosion and humidity of a typical shop, kitchen, or utility room, and it keeps the slide looking clean against a white or natural wood interior. This is a functional finish, not a decorative one — the slides sit beside the drawer box and are mostly out of sight when the cabinet is closed. For applications in wet rooms or outdoor storage, specify a stainless alternative.
The KV 8400 series is a production-grade medium-duty line — 100 lb per pair, 1/2 inch side clearance per side, lever disconnect for tool-free drawer removal, and a 32mm hole pattern that drops straight onto line-bored panels. The bulk pack format makes sense for cabinet shops running deep drawers across a full kitchen install, contractors fitting utility rooms, and millwork operations that need consistent stock without the overhead of retail packaging. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch clearance on each side. In face-frame cabinets, add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately — the back of the slide needs support that face-frame construction does not provide on its own.
No — 26 inches 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 clear of the cabinet. Slide length and drawer travel are separate specs; always match slide length to your cabinet's interior depth.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from bouncing back open — there is no damper and no spring assist. The drawer stays where it is put until pulled open. If you need a damped, quiet close, look at soft-close models in the 8400 series family.
Bulk-pack quantities vary by order; confirm the exact pack count at checkout. The bulk format is designed for trade quantities rather than per-pair retail packs.
No — the 8400 series is non-handed. Both slides in a pair are identical, so you order by quantity rather than by side.
Yes. Face-frame construction sets the cabinet side back from the front frame, so the rear of the slide needs support. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — they are series-specific and sold separately.
At 26 inches, full extension, and 100 lb per pair with a stay-closed detent, this KV 8400 slide is built for the kind of deep, loaded cabinet work that shorter or lighter slides are not rated for — and the bulk pack keeps the job moving without the friction of retail-packaged hardware.
