Knape and Vogt 8405 Series Over-Travel Ball Bearing Drawer Slide for Drawers That Clear the Overhang

This is a 20 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8405 series, rated 100 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension and a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer shut once closed. The zinc finish makes it the go-to choice where the slide will live in plain sight and a clean, work-ready look matters.

Key Features

• 1 inch over-travel carries the drawer past the nominal slide length, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face frames so the back of the drawer is fully reachable.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent catches the drawer at close and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• 100 lb weight rating per pair covers a fully loaded kitchen, utility, or shop drawer without stepping up to a heavy-duty class.
• Zinc finish provides reliable indoor corrosion resistance and a bright, neutral appearance that suits exposed interiors.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left and right sorting before installation.
• 1/2 inch side clearance per side follows the segment standard, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

Where the Extra Inch of Travel Earns Its Keep

A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer flush with the cabinet face. That works in most kitchen and shop cabinets, but when a countertop overhangs the opening — or when a deep face frame pushes the drawer box back — the rear contents stay out of reach. The 8405's 1 inch of over-travel pushes the drawer past the face of the cabinet, so the back corner of a pots-and-pans drawer or a deep utility pull-out is reachable without leaning in. The hold-in detent adds a second practical benefit: a drawer loaded with cans, tools, or hardware has some weight behind it, and the detent prevents the rebound that can happen when a heavy drawer is pushed shut firmly. The drawer stays closed until intentionally pulled.

Steel Construction With a Zinc Finish Built for Indoor Work

The slide members are cold-formed steel with a bright zinc plating — the standard finish class for side-mount ball bearing slides in cabinet and shop environments. Zinc protects the steel through years of indoor cycling. It is not a decorative or stainless-equivalent finish, and this slide is intended for dry, indoor applications. The ball bearings run in full-length raceways between the slide members for smooth, consistent travel whether the drawer is empty or loaded to its 100 lb rating. This SKU ships as a Bulk-Pack, the trade format for cabinet shops and contractors ordering at volume.

The Right Fit for Kitchens, Shops, and Cabinets With Overhangs

Choose the 8405 when the drawer depth or cabinet layout would leave the rear of a full-extension slide out of reach at full open. It fits frameless and face-frame cabinets — in face-frame construction, add the appropriate KV rear mounting brackets (sold separately, series-matched) to support the slide's back end. The 8405 sits in Knape and Vogt's 8400-series lineup, which KV positions in the medium-duty class at 100 lb per pair, suited to kitchen, office, and utility drawers rather than loaded file drawers or industrial applications. The non-handed format keeps the SKU count simple: one line item covers both sides of every drawer.
