KV8407 18" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8407B 18

Zinc-Finished Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Everyday Cabinet Work

The Knape and Vogt 8407 series is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 100 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps the drawer closed once shut. It is a workhorse cabinet slide for kitchen drawers, utility cabinetry, and shop builds where reliable travel and a stay-closed drawer are the job requirements.

Key Features

• 100 lb load rating per pair — covers a fully loaded kitchen or utility drawer without stepping up to a heavier-duty class.
• Full extension — the entire drawer clears the cabinet opening so the back of the drawer is reachable.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent — a mechanical catch keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back open when shut firmly.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways — smooth, consistent travel on every pull, even under load.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left-right sorting before installation.
• Bright zinc finish — standard indoor corrosion protection that holds up through years of service without treatment.

What the Hold-In Detent Does on the Job

The 8407's hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch, not a spring and not a damper. When the drawer is pushed shut, the detent seats and holds it there. Push a loaded drawer closed firmly and it stays — it does not bounce back into the opening. This is the feature that separates the 8407 from a plain free-sliding slide in shop, office, and utility applications where drawers see real use. The drawer releases with a normal pull; there is no lever to trip and nothing to learn. Note that this is not a self-closing or soft-closing slide: the drawer does not pull itself shut, and closing is not damped.

Finish and Construction

The slide is cold-formed steel with a bright zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor cabinetry: it protects the steel members from corrosion in normal shop and kitchen environments and does not require additional treatment. The finish is functional rather than decorative — the slide sits beside the drawer box and is mostly out of sight when the drawer is closed. These are rated for indoor dry environments; zinc plating is not a stainless or marine finish.

Where the 8407 Series Fits

This slide suits cabinet shops and contractors running standard kitchen, bath, and utility drawer builds. The 18 inch length fits a drawer box in a standard base cabinet, and the 100 lb per pair rating handles pots-and-pans drawers, tool drawers, and utility storage without requiring a heavy-duty upgrade. The hold-in anti-rebound detent makes it a better choice than a plain free-sliding slide anywhere the drawer is loaded and gets pushed shut rather than eased closed. This is a Bulk-Pack SKU — order the quantity your project or production run requires. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide. In face-frame cabinet installations, add matching rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to support the back end of each slide.
