Zinc Finish And Proven Over-Travel Fit for the Bench or the Build

This is a 22 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 is the standard working finish for this slide, blending into cabinet interiors without competing with the visible hardware. Sold as a Bulk-Pack for shop orders and production runs.

Key Features

• 1 inch of over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, giving clear access to contents tucked behind a countertop overhang or deep face frame.
• 100 lb load rating per pair handles a fully loaded kitchen, office, or utility drawer in daily service.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent stops the drawer from bouncing back open after a firm close — no spring assist, no damper, just a mechanical catch.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel across the full stroke under load.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left/right sorting at the bench.
• Bright zinc finish provides indoor corrosion protection and disappears against painted or melamine cabinet interiors.

Where Over-Travel Pays Off

The 8405 earns its place in layouts where a standard full-extension slide leaves the drawer slightly short of fully accessible. Under a countertop overhang, the extra inch of travel clears the lip so contents at the back of the drawer come forward instead of staying hidden. Deep face frames produce the same obstruction — the over-travel action compensates without requiring a layout change. This slide is also well suited to workbench drawers and utility cabinets where the extra reach matters and the hold-in detent prevents the drawer from drifting open on its own.

Material and Finish

The slide is cold-formed steel with a bright zinc electroplate — the workhorse finish in this segment. Zinc protects the steel members through years of indoor service and keeps the hardware visually low-profile beside the drawer box. It is a functional finish, not a decorative one, and it is the right call when the slide will be largely out of sight during use. Zinc is not a stainless-grade finish and is intended for dry, indoor applications.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops running production quantities will find the Bulk-Pack format efficient for staging and inventory. Contractors and installers specifying kitchens or home offices where a countertop overhang is in play will appreciate the over-travel without having to step up to a heavier or more expensive slide class. The 100 lb rating and 22 inch length cover most residential drawer applications, and the non-handed design keeps the install moving without sorting hardware at the box. For face-frame cabinet work, plan for rear mounting brackets — series-specific brackets are sold separately and support the back end of the slide where the cabinet side is set back from the face frame.

The Right Slide, Ready to Install

When the layout calls for a little more reach than a standard full-extension slide delivers, the Knape and Vogt 8405 in zinc gives you that extra inch of over-travel with a 100 lb rating, a hold-in detent, and a finish that does its job without calling attention to itself.
