This is a 20 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. It suits kitchens, offices, and shop cabinets where black hardware is the specified finish and a stay-closed detent keeps drawers from drifting open.
The hold-in anti-rebound detent makes this slide a practical choice anywhere drawers see a firm close — shop cabinets, office furniture, and built-ins where the drawer needs to stay put rather than creep back open after being pushed shut. Full extension is the right call when the back of the drawer matters: tool storage, file drawers, and deep kitchen drawers where the rear contents are in regular rotation. The 8400 series is rated for drawers up to 24 inches wide, so it covers most standard cabinet applications comfortably.
The Ebony Black finish is the reason this SKU exists in the line: it coordinates with dark cabinet interiors, black pulls, and contemporary hardware schemes where a standard zinc slide would stand out. The slide is cold-formed steel with ball bearings running in full-length raceways — the same construction as the rest of the 8400 series, dressed in black instead of zinc. Side clearance is 1/2 inch per side, which is the build standard for this segment. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide; those brackets are sold separately and are series-specific to the 8400 line.
Cabinet shops specifying black hardware throughout a project reach for this SKU to keep the finish consistent from pulls to slides. Designers running dark or two-tone interiors use it to avoid the interruption of a silver slide visible beside an open drawer. The Bulk-Pack format suits shops moving through volume — multiple drawers per cabinet, multiple cabinets per project — where pulling from a carton is faster than opening retail bags. Homeowners building a single piece of furniture with black hardware can order the quantity they need from the same SKU.
No. The detent is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push. There is no damper and no spring assist — the drawer simply stays where it is left. For damped soft-close closing on a side-mount slide, look at the Fulterer FR 5001 soft-close line.
The slide sits beside the drawer box and is mostly out of sight in normal use. The black finish is a functional cabinet finish, not a decorative chrome; it is suited to indoor cabinetry and holds up through regular cycling.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical, and either one fits either side of the cabinet.
Knape and Vogt recommends a maximum drawer width of 24 inches for the 8400 series.
Yes. In face-frame construction the cabinet side is set back from the front frame, so the back of the slide needs support from rear mounting brackets. Those brackets are sold separately and are specific to the 8400 series.
When the finish spec calls for black throughout, this KV 8400 series slide delivers full extension, a stay-closed detent, and a 100 lb rating in the finish that keeps the hardware consistent from front to back.
