This is a 22 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 is designed for cabinets where a black or dark-toned interior is part of the design, and where a hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps loaded drawers from drifting or bouncing back open.
On most cabinetry, the slide finish is an afterthought because the slide sits out of direct sight lines. In dark-interior work — black melamine box interiors, charcoal-painted shop cabinets, or furniture with an exposed-hardware aesthetic — a zinc or white slide pulls focus. The Ebony Black finish on the 8400 series keeps the hardware receding rather than competing. It is a natural fit for modern flat-front kitchens with black interiors, dark-stained workshop cabinets, and media or display cases where the interior finish carries through to the hardware.
The 22 inch length suits standard kitchen base drawers and mid-depth utility drawers. Full extension means the whole drawer clears the opening — useful any time the back of the drawer holds items that would otherwise require digging.
The slide is cold-formed steel with ball bearings running in full-length raceways between the members. The Ebony Black coating is the color-matched finish in the KV 8400 series line — not a spray-on afterthought, but the same structural slide in a purpose-built color option. The zinc-finish version of this slide is the same physical product; the Black is for applications where finish matching matters. The slide mounts with 1/2 inch of side clearance per side and uses the 32mm hole pattern shared across most production frameless cabinetry.
Cabinet shops specifying dark-interior boxes will order this in bulk — the Bulk-Pack format is sized for production volume, not a single-drawer repair. Designers specifying a monochromatic interior finish need a slide that does not break the color story. Contractors and serious DIYers building custom shop furniture with black-painted interiors will also reach for this over the standard zinc option. The 100 lb per-pair rating fits the full range of kitchen, office, and utility drawer applications in this duty class.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open — there is no damper and no spring assist. The drawer closes exactly as fast as you push it; the detent just keeps it there.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are identical. Order one pair per drawer regardless of which side each slide installs on.
Yes, but face-frame installation requires rear support at the back of the slide. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to carry the slide's back end in a face-frame box.
Bulk-Pack means the slides ship loose in a carton at trade quantity rather than in a retail polybag. Confirm the pack count at checkout — the pricing structure reflects volume ordering.
The slide is 22 inches long when closed. Because it is full extension, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the whole drawer out to the cabinet face. Slide length and travel are two separate specs — full extension means the travel closely matches the slide length.
The KV 8400 series in Ebony Black gives dark-interior cabinetry a hardware spec that holds up mechanically and disappears visually — 100 lb full-extension performance in the finish your design actually calls for.
