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 hold-in anti-rebound detent and a bright zinc finish ready for the cabinet interior.
Most kitchen and bath drawers run 18 to 22 inches, but deeper cabinets — 24 inch base runs, pantry pull-outs, workbench drawers, and full-depth utility storage — call for a longer slide. At 28 inches, this slide accommodates the extra cabinet depth without the drawer box running short of support. The full-extension action means the back of a deep drawer is still reachable, not lost behind the face frame. The hold-in detent adds practical value in a deep, loaded drawer: when you push it shut, it stays shut rather than rebounding partway open.
Cold-formed steel members carry a zinc finish — the segment's standard indoor corrosion protection. Zinc is a functional, durable coating on hardware that lives inside the cabinet and is visible only when the drawer is open. It is not a decorative or stainless finish, and it is suited to dry, indoor cabinetry. The slide mounts on 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. Ball bearings run in full-length raceways for smooth, consistent travel even when the drawer carries a full load.
Cabinet shops and contractors fitting deeper-than-standard base cabinets reach for the 28 inch 8400 series when they want reliable full-extension travel at the 100 lb class without a premium price. The non-handed format simplifies ordering on multi-drawer runs — one SKU covers every position. The hold-in detent makes it a natural fit anywhere the drawer should not drift: loaded tool drawers, shop benches, deep pantry bases, or any cabinet where a rebound-open drawer is a nuisance. The Bulk-Pack format suits shops ordering by the carton rather than by the bag.
The product attributes confirm the finish as zinc. Some KV catalog references and SAP descriptions use the term anochrome for this slide; treat them as the same bright zinc electroplated finish on these steel members.
It keeps the drawer from bouncing back — it is not a self-close spring. Push the drawer closed and the detent holds it there; it will not pull the last inch home on its own. For spring-assisted closing, look at the KV 8417 self-close variant.
The slide mounts directly in frameless cabinets on the 32mm hole pattern. In face-frame cabinets, the rear of the slide needs support from matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately — the rear bracket requirement applies any time the cabinet side is set back from the face frame.
The required side clearance is 1/2 inch per side, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. KV's 8400 series recommends a maximum drawer width of 24 inches for this load class.
Bulk-Pack means the slides ship loose in a carton rather than individually polybagged. It is the trade-quantity format for shops installing multiple drawers — confirm the carton quantity at checkout to match your project count.
When the cabinet runs deep and the drawer needs to stay shut, the KV 8400 series in 28 inches delivers full extension, a stay-closed detent, and a 100 lb rating in a zinc-finished steel slide that installs without sorting left from right.
