KV 8250 14" Hold-In/Anti-Rebound 3/4 Extension 75 lb Pencil Drawer Slide, Poly-Pack, 8250P 14

Knape and Vogt 8250 Pencil Drawer Slide for Height-Adjustable Shallow Drawer Installations

The Knape and Vogt 8250 series pencil drawer slide is a 14 inch, 3/4-extension ball-bearing slide built specifically for pencil drawers and shallow tray applications, with variable height adjustment built into the mount so the installed position can be fine-tuned after the drawer is in place.

Key Features

• Variable height adjustment lets you dial in the drawer's vertical position after installation, reducing the need for precise pre-drilling.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer firmly closed without a pull handle and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push.
• 75 lb weight capacity per pair handles the real-world loads of a loaded pencil tray or shallow office drawer.
• 3/4 extension brings the drawer box out far enough for comfortable access while keeping the mount compact.
• Ball-bearing construction with Anochrome finish delivers a smooth, consistent pull and a corrosion-resistant surface suited to indoor cabinetry and furniture.

Where the 14 Inch Length Fits

A 14 inch pencil drawer slide is the right match for under-desk pencil trays, shallow keyboard shelf drawers, and narrow utility drawers in workstations, reception desks, and built-in office furniture. The 14 inch nominal length suits cabinets with interior depths in that range, leaving room behind the drawer for proper rear clearance. At 3/4 extension, the drawer travels most of its length out of the opening — practical access for pencil-tray use without the added cost of a full-extension mechanism. The hold-in detent is particularly useful in pedestal desk and under-counter installs where a pull handle is not part of the design: the drawer stays shut until deliberately opened.

Build and Finish

The 8250 runs on ball bearings for a controlled, rattle-free pull that holds up through daily desk use. The Anochrome finish is an electrochemical treatment that gives the steel a corrosion-resistant, low-reflectance surface — functional for the hidden environment of an under-desk mount. Variable height adjustment is built into the mounting bracket itself, so minor misalignments in the desk or cabinet panel can be corrected at installation without redrilling.

Who Should Specify This Slide

Furniture manufacturers building desk pedestals and workstations will find the height-adjustment feature especially valuable on production runs where panel tolerances vary. Custom millwork shops adding pencil drawers to built-ins and reception counters benefit from the same flexibility. The 75 lb rating is well above the functional demand of a pencil tray, so there is margin for heavier organizer inserts or small supply storage. This is an indoor slide for dry cabinet environments.

FAQ

The Right Slide for the Shallow Drawer Job

When the application is a pencil tray or shallow organizer drawer and the installation needs post-mount height correction built in, the 8250P in 14 inches covers that combination in one straightforward package.
