The Knape and Vogt 1300 series 20 inch zinc drawer slide is a 3/4-extension, side-mount roller slide with hold-in/hold-out detents, sold in bulk for shops and contractors running volume installs. The zinc plated finish makes it a practical fit for utility casework and shop drawers where color-matched epoxy is unnecessary.
The 1300's defining feature is its hold-in/hold-out detent — a mechanical catch that holds the drawer closed until pulled and holds it fully open until pushed back. This is not a self-closing ramp and not a lock. The drawer will not drift shut on its own and will not bounce back open after a firm close. That makes the 1300 a reliable choice for utility benches, shop storage cabinets, rolling carts, and any application where drawers left half-open are a productivity problem. The detent releases with a normal pull or push, so there is no extra mechanism to learn or maintain.
The zinc plated finish on the 1300 is a functional, industrial-facing choice. It provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry indoor environments and holds up through daily contact and handling in shop and utility settings. It does not blend with a cabinet interior the way a white or almond epoxy slide would — and that is the point. In a shop cabinet, a tool chest, or a utility run where the interior finish is raw or natural, zinc fits the context without the extra cost of a color-coat finish. These are indoor slides; keep them out of wet or outdoor installations.
This listing is aimed at cabinet shops, contractors, and millwork operations that need a dependable economy slide in volume without paying for motion features they do not need. The 1300 series covers straightforward installs where a drawer should stay put at both ends of travel — shop and storage cabinets, utility runs in commercial interiors, and retrofit work in existing casework. The bulk format makes it practical to standardize the 1300 across an entire project rather than mixing slide types.
No. A self-closing slide pulls the drawer shut on a ramp once you push it into range. The 1300's detent simply holds the drawer in position at each end of travel — closed or fully open — until you move it intentionally. There is no closing action.
No. The 1300 series is non-handed, so the same slide installs on the left or the right without any orientation requirement. One bulk-pack covers both sides of every drawer.
This is a 3/4-extension slide, so the rear portion of the drawer stays inside the cabinet at full open. It is not a full-access design — if you need the back of the drawer completely reachable, a full-extension slide is the right choice.
The 1300 is a side-mount slide and can be installed in face-frame cabinets, but the back end of the slide needs rear support. In face-frame construction, add compatible rear mounting sockets or brackets to carry the slide's back end — these are not included.
No. The zinc plating holds up well in dry indoor environments but is not rated for wet, exterior, or high-humidity applications. Stick to dry, indoor installs with this slide.
When the job calls for a no-fuss drawer slide that stays put at both ends and arrives ready for a full shop run, the KV 1300 series in zinc bulk-pack delivers exactly that — consistent detent action, a practical finish, and a unit price that makes volume ordering straightforward.
