The Knape & Vogt 1300 series is a 16 inch, 3/4-extension roller slide in zinc finish with a hold-in/hold-out detent — side-mount, non-handed, and sold bulk-packed for shops and production runs that need quantity without retail packaging markups.
The 1300 series is not a self-closing slide and not a soft-close slide. Its motion feature is the hold-in/hold-out detent: a mechanical catch that holds the drawer fully closed until you pull it open, then holds it at full extension until you push it back. That behavior suits shop cabinets, utility rooms, garage storage, and any drawer that tends to creep open or swing shut on its own without the owner wanting a ramp-driven close. The detent releases with a normal pull or push — no levers, no extra force.
Where white or almond epoxy is chosen to blend into a painted cabinet interior, zinc is chosen because the environment is rougher. The zinc-plated steel finish holds up in shop conditions — sawdust, tool vibration, the occasional bump — without the color-match pressure of a kitchen or vanity install. It is a functional finish for functional drawers, and it pairs naturally with the steel tool chests, lumber carts, and utility cabinets where these slides most often land.
The bulk-pack format is aimed at cabinet shops, contractors, and facilities managers ordering for multiple installations at once. One part number covers both sides of every drawer in the run, which simplifies the order and cuts the chance of a handed-part mismatch. At 16 inches, this slide suits shallower wall cabinets, upper kitchen boxes, and utility drawers that do not need the deeper travel of a 20 or 22 inch slide. The 3/4-extension travel class leaves the rear portion of the drawer inside the cabinet at full open — standard for utility work where full rear access is not a requirement.
No. The 1300 series uses a hold-in/hold-out detent, not a closing ramp. The detent keeps the drawer in position at both ends of travel but does not pull it shut. If you need a slide that automatically closes, look at a self-closing Euro slide in the same length.
No. The 1300 series is non-handed, so the same slide installs on either side of the drawer. One part number covers both sides.
This is a 3/4-extension slide, so the drawer opens roughly three-quarters of the slide length. The back portion of the drawer stays inside the cabinet at full open — it does not bring the full drawer depth out to the cabinet face.
Side-mount roller slides in this class typically require 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. Confirm against the KV installation spec for the 1300 series before cutting.
The zinc finish handles standard indoor shop conditions well. It is not rated for outdoor or wet environments — keep these slides indoors where they belong.
When the job calls for drawers that stay put, a zinc finish that handles the work environment, and a bulk-pack count that matches the scale of the project, the KV 1300 series 16 inch slide is ready to fill the order.
