The Knape & Vogt 1300 series is a 22 inch, 3/4-extension Euro roller slide in a zinc plated finish, designed for side-mount installation and sold as a non-handed pair in a poly-pack. Its defining feature is the hold-in/hold-out detent system — the drawer stays where it is put, whether that is closed or fully open.
The hold-in/hold-out detent is the feature that sets the 1300 series apart from self-closing and standard-motion roller slides. In a kitchen cabinet, a detent would feel out of place — most people expect either a free-rolling drawer or a ramp that pulls it shut. But in a utility drawer, a shop cabinet, a workbench, or an office file pedestal, a drawer that drifts open during use or swings shut on its own is a real problem. The 1300 solves it by catching the drawer firmly at both ends of travel and releasing it with a deliberate pull or push. The zinc finish reinforces the utility character: this is not a color-match product for interior cabinetry, it is a workhorse slide that holds up in the shop and stays out of the way.
The 1300 series runs on nylon roller bearings inside zinc-plated steel members — a straightforward, proven mechanism that has been the standard in production utility cabinetry for decades. The zinc plating is a functional protective finish, not a decorative one. It provides corrosion resistance for indoor environments and blends visually into metal shop cabinets and unfinished plywood interiors better than a white or almond epoxy would. The roller bearings deliver smooth travel across the 22 inch slide length without the weight or cost of a ball-bearing telescopic design.
The 1300P ZC 22 is the right choice for cabinet makers, contractors, and shop owners who need a drawer that stays put at both ends without relying on spring-assist or a closing ramp. It suits workbench drawers, mobile shop carts, office pedestals, and utility storage in garages and back-of-house spaces. The non-handed configuration keeps installation fast: no left-from-right sorting, no handed inventory to track. Production shops running multiple utility cabinets will appreciate the poly-pack format and the straightforward install. This is a 75 lb, 3/4-extension roller slide — well matched to moderate tool loads and everyday storage, not to drawers carrying very heavy or high-cycle loads.
No. A self-closing ramp pulls the drawer fully shut once it enters the capture zone. The hold-in/hold-out detent simply holds the drawer in position at both the closed end and the open end — it neither pulls nor pushes the drawer on its own. You release it with a deliberate pull or push.
It can, but face-frame installs typically require rear mounting sockets or brackets to support the back of the slide where the cabinet side is set back from the frame. Check what rear support hardware is available for the 1300 series before ordering for a face-frame application.
Side-mount roller slides in this class generally require 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. Confirm the exact clearance requirement for the 1300 series before cutting the box.
Load ratings for drawer slides are per pair. Both slides together carry the 75 lb stated capacity.
Side-mount roller slides are generally tolerant of drawer side thickness in the standard range. The slide attaches to the exterior face of the drawer side, so 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch sides both work as long as the overall box width stays within the required clearance.
When the job calls for a drawer that holds its position at either end of travel, the KV 1300 series delivers exactly that — without complexity, extra hardware, or a closing mechanism that fights the workflow.
