This is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, finished in White and rated 100 lb per pair. The White finish makes it the right call for white melamine interiors where a zinc slide would read as a grey line beside the open drawer box, and the hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps every drawer closed until it is intentionally pulled.
In a white melamine or painted cabinet box, the slide that runs beside the drawer is visible the moment the drawer opens. A zinc slide works fine mechanically, but a white epoxy-finished slide disappears against the interior. This matters most in bathroom vanities, laundry room cabinetry, closet built-ins, and white shaker kitchen runs where the inside of the cabinet is as finished as the face. The 8400 series in White ships in bulk-pack quantities, so a production run through a white-interior cabinet line stays consistent from the first drawer to the last.
The slide is built from cold-formed steel with ball bearings running in full-length raceways. The White finish is an epoxy coating over the steel members — a durable, paint-matched surface that handles the wear of a working drawer without chipping or fading under normal indoor conditions. The 32mm hole pattern aligns with production line-bore systems in frameless cabinets. Lever disconnect is standard on the 8400 series, allowing drawer removal by squeezing both release levers and pulling the box free.
Cabinet shops running white melamine interiors will find the bulk-pack format efficient for volume production. Contractors specifying bathroom and laundry cabinetry get a color-matched slide that does not require painting or masking after install. Designers working on closet systems and built-in white painted storage can specify the same slide family across the project. The 100 lb per pair rating covers the workload of most residential drawers, and the 18 inch length suits standard base cabinet depths. For face-frame cabinets, add the appropriate rear mounting brackets — the rear of the slide needs support, and brackets are sold separately.
Yes. The epoxy coating is baked on over steel and handles the wear of daily drawer cycling in normal indoor conditions. It is not rated for wet or exterior environments, so keep it in dry indoor cabinetry.
A mechanical detent catches the drawer at the closed position and holds it there. If the drawer is pushed shut firmly, it will not bounce back open. The detent does not pull the drawer closed on its own — it simply holds it once it arrives. There is no spring and no damper.
The slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to allow for both slides.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed — both slides in a pair are the same part. Order by quantity rather than by side.
The 8400 series installs directly in frameless cabinets on the 32mm system. For face-frame cabinets, the back of the slide needs rear mounting bracket support. Rear brackets are sold separately and are series-specific.
When the cabinet box is white and the finish matters from the outside in, the KV 8400 series in White gives you full extension, a dependable hold-in detent, and a 100 lb rating in a color that belongs there.
