This is a 16 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, finished in Ebony Black and rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer from bouncing back open once shut.
Dark-finish cabinetry puts every piece of hardware on display the moment a drawer opens. A zinc slide beside a painted black or espresso-stained box breaks the visual continuity that designers and homeowners are after. The Ebony Black finish addresses that directly. This is a natural fit for modern handle-less kitchens with black-painted fronts, dark workshop cabinets where a stay-closed detent matters as much as finish, and office furniture in charcoal or wenge veneers where the slide needs to disappear. The hold-in anti-rebound detent adds a practical layer: in a shop or office setting, a drawer that rebounds open after a firm close is a hazard and an annoyance, and the detent eliminates both without adding a spring or damper to the mechanism.
The slide is built from cold-formed steel members running on full-length ball bearing raceways. The Ebony Black finish is a dedicated color option in the 8400 series line, not a generic painted-over zinc slide. Steel ball bearings in continuous raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel across the full 16 inch length, even when the drawer is loaded. The 32mm hole pattern aligns with standard production cabinet panels, and the 1/2 inch side clearance per side is the segment's baseline, so the slide drops into any existing 8400-format installation without reworking the drawer box.
Cabinet shops building contemporary or transitional dark-finish kitchens are the primary fit: one bulk-pack order covers multiple drawers and keeps the color consistent across the run. Designers specifying hardware for dark-painted or dark-laminate cabinetry will find the Ebony Black finish eliminates the silver-hardware-on-dark-cabinet mismatch that shows up at installation. Homeowners replacing dated slides in existing dark cabinetry get the same benefit at the drawer level. At the 100 lb rating, this slide handles kitchen drawers, office drawers, and light shop storage with room to spare. For face-frame cabinet installations, plan for rear mounting brackets — those are sold separately and are series-specific to the KV 8400 line.
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 does not slow as it closes, and it does not pull itself shut. If you need damped closing, look at a soft-close version of this slide.
This is a full-extension slide, so the drawer member travels approximately the full 16 inch slide length, bringing the back of the drawer out to the cabinet face. The slide length and the drawer travel are the same spec on a full-extension model.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count.
Side-mount slides need support at the rear of the cabinet in face-frame construction, because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately. These brackets are series-specific to the 8400 line and are not interchangeable with brackets from other manufacturers.
Bulk-Pack is the trade packaging format — slides are packed loose in a carton rather than in individual retail bags. Confirm the sold-as unit (pair or each) at checkout to order the right quantity for your job.
When the cabinetry is dark and the hardware needs to match, the 8400 series in Ebony Black keeps the drawer bay looking intentional — full extension, a stay-closed detent, and a finish that works with the design rather than against it.
