Knape and Vogt 18 inch keyboard slide gives you a 3/4 extension keyboard tray runner that supports everyday computer station use where full extension is not required. This 8157 Series slide is unhanded, so one model handles both left and right sides, simplifying layout for repetitive workstation builds. The side mount design fits projects already planned for side-mounted trays, helping retrofit or new installations around fixed desk structures. Ebony Black finish matches dark hardware and tray components in office furniture. As a side mount drawer slide in the keyboard class, it suits under-desk trays that need smooth travel without overextending into walk paths. Sold by Wurth Baer Supply, it fits into a broader cabinet hardware lineup for woodworking shops that standardize on Knape and Vogt slides.
This KV Model 8157 keyboard slide installs as a side mount, so you work off the tray sides rather than a bottom rail, matching many under-desk tray designs. Mounting brackets adjust to seven different heights, allowing you to fine-tune tray position within the 2-11/32 inch to 3-11/16 inch range during installation. The track member quickly disconnects using a positive lever release, so you can separate the moving member from the cabinet member while fitting the tray. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, providing a defined screw size and head style that fits the slide holes. This combination of adjustable brackets and quick disconnect supports a workflow where you mount components separately, then reconnect to check clearances and tray travel.
As a 3/4 extension keyboard slide in the 18 inch length, this 8157 Series unit suits standard-depth under-desk keyboard trays in office and workstation furniture. The side mount configuration pairs well with trays framed by narrow side panels, where there is enough room to meet the 1-5/8 inch outboard and 5/8 inch inboard side clearances. Unhanded design helps when producing multiple stations, because you use the same slide pair on either side, reducing planning around left or right specific parts. Ebony Black finish coordinates visually with dark laminate desks and black metal tray frames, so the visible hardware under glass or open desks remains consistent with other black components. As a side mount drawer slide in the woodworking category, it integrates into cabinet-style desk pedestals where a retractable keyboard surface is part of the design.
The adjustable mounting brackets on this Knape and Vogt 18 inch keyboard slide provide seven height settings within the 2-11/32 inch to 3-11/16 inch range, letting you adapt one model across different desk apron depths and subtop construction. That adjustability reduces rework when tying into existing furniture dimensions, because the slide can match the tray height to user preference or monitor alignment. The hold-in feature actively keeps the keyboard tray from bouncing back out after being pushed in, improving day-to-day use when users work close to the desk edge. A track member that quickly disconnects using a positive lever release lets you remove the tray section for machining, edging, or field adjustments without disturbing cabinet-side alignment. Ball bearing action supports smooth keyboard movement, which benefits users typing for long periods on under-desk trays. As a side mount slide built for keyboard applications, it links directly to the way shops assemble ergonomic stations for offices, labs, and reception areas using consistent slide behavior across similar furniture runs.
The KV 8157 keyboard slide 8157P EB 18 is an 18 inch model, matching standard under-desk keyboard tray depths in many office and workstation furniture builds.
The 8157 Series keyboard slide is a 3/4 extension design, so the tray travels about three-quarters of its slide length, balancing access with support under the desk.
The mounting brackets adjust from 2-11/32 inch to 3-11/16 inch height, allowing the tray position to match different desk apron depths and user height preferences.
This keyboard slide uses 1-5/8 inch outboard and 5/8 inch inboard side clearances, guiding tray and cabinet spacing so the slide runs freely without interference.
The hold-in feature on the 8157 slide prevents keyboard tray bounce back, so once pushed in, the tray stays seated until intentionally pulled out again.
This Knape and Vogt keyboard slide is specified for #8 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, giving a standard size and head style that matches the slide holes.
Choosing this Knape and Vogt 18 inch keyboard slide ties your project to a defined 3/4 extension, side mount keyboard runner with known clearances and height adjustment. The unhanded 8157 Series layout simplifies stocking for repeat workstation runs, and the quick-disconnect track member supports efficient installation sequences in the shop or on site. With an Ebony Black finish and hold-in feature, it suits under-desk keyboard trays in office furniture where controlled travel and a clean appearance under the work surface matter. For woodworking and cabinet projects running through Wurth Baer Supply, this slide fits naturally alongside other side mount drawer slides in the same build.
