The Knape and Vogt 1300 series is a 14 inch, side-mount, 3/4-extension roller slide finished in zinc-plated steel. Where most Euro slides pull a drawer shut on a self-closing ramp, the 1300 uses a hold-in/hold-out detent that keeps the drawer firmly closed until you pull it and holds it open until you push it back. One pair arrives per Poly-Pack, non-handed, ready to mount on either side.
The hold-in/hold-out detent is the defining feature here, and it matters most where a drawer that drifts open or swings shut on its own is a real problem. Think utility drawers in the shop that sit near vibrating machinery, small cabinet drawers in closet or laundry organizers where a loose door-front makes self-closing impractical, or light-duty office and storage drawers that need to stay open hands-free while you rummage. The 14 inch length targets compact applications: shallow base cabinet drawers, storage benches, nightstands, and similar cases where a longer slide would overshoot the available cabinet depth.
Zinc is a functional plated finish, not an epoxy color coat. It resists everyday interior corrosion and presents a clean metallic look that suits painted or shop-built casework where matching a white or almond interior is not the goal. This is an indoor slide; it is not rated for outdoor, damp, or high-humidity environments. If your application is a utility shop cabinet, a workshop tool chest insert, or any setting where a silver-toned slide is acceptable, the zinc finish is the right call. Cabinetry where the slide interior must blend with a white or almond melamine panel should use a color-matched epoxy finish instead.
Cabinet shops standardizing on a detent slide for utility and non-kitchen work reach for the 1300 series in zinc when their casework is shop-built or painted rather than white melamine. Contractors sourcing slides for small storage drawers, bench seats, or built-in cabinetry that will not see daily heavy loads find the 75 lb rating and roller-bearing simplicity a good match. Homeowners adding a slide to a laundry-room cabinet, a mudroom bench drawer, or a workshop unit will find the non-handed design and the Poly-Pack pair straightforward to install without special tools or handed part matching.
No. The 1300 series uses a hold-in/hold-out detent rather than a self-closing ramp. The detent holds the drawer closed until you pull it and holds it open until you push it back — it does not pull the drawer shut on its own, and it is not soft-close.
No. This slide is non-handed — the same part mounts on either side of the drawer. One Poly-Pack contains the pair for a single drawer.
This is a 3/4-extension slide, so roughly the back quarter of the drawer depth stays inside the cabinet at full open. The 14 inch length is the slide's closed length, not the travel distance.
No. The zinc-plated steel finish handles normal indoor service well, but this slide is not rated for outdoor, washdown, or persistently damp environments.
The 1300 is a side-mount slide, so face-frame installs typically need rear mounting sockets or brackets to support the back end of the slide. Those are sold separately and are series-specific.
When a closing ramp is not what the job calls for, the KV 1300 in zinc delivers a clean, detent-based solution in a compact 14 inch length — straightforward to install, honest about what it does, and built for the utility drawer work that keeps a shop or home running.
