The Knape and Vogt 1303 is a metal side-mount pilaster adapter that lets you attach KV drawer slides directly to a pilaster strip, eliminating the need to screw into the cabinet side panel for slide support.
Pilaster systems use vertical metal strips with slots or holes at regular intervals to support shelves and hardware at adjustable heights. When a cabinet already has pilasters installed, routing slide mounting through those strips keeps the installation clean and consistent with the adjustable-shelf layout. The 1303 adapter bridges that gap, letting the slide register to the pilaster rather than to a separately drilled hole pattern in the panel. This is especially useful in retrofit work, where adding new screw holes to an existing cabinet side is impractical, and in production cabinets where the pilaster strip is already the primary mounting reference.
The 1303 is a Knape and Vogt component built for the KV pilaster system and KV slide line. Pilaster strips, brackets, and mounting accessories are engineered per brand and per system — this adapter is not a universal fit for non-KV pilaster strips or slides from other manufacturers. Use it within the KV system for a confirmed, reliable connection.
Cabinet shops running KV pilaster systems as their standard shelf-support method reach for the 1303 when they need to add drawer slides to those same cabinets without breaking from their existing mounting approach. It is also the right part for service work on existing KV-pilastered cabinets where a slide needs to be added or replaced and the pilaster strip is already in place. Designers specifying adjustable-height storage with integrated drawer capability will find this adapter keeps both functions on the same hardware platform.
No. The 1303 is described as compatible with all KV slides, so one part number covers the range of Knape and Vogt side-mount slide series.
This adapter is a KV system component. Pilaster hardware is brand-specific, and fit with non-KV strips is not confirmed — stay within the KV pilaster system for a reliable result.
Pilaster systems are used in both construction types. The adapter mounts to the pilaster strip, so the cabinet style matters less than confirming that your KV pilaster strip is correctly installed for the chosen slide length and position.
A standard drawer installation uses one slide per side, so plan on at least two adapters per drawer — one for each pilaster strip. Check whether your slide and pilaster configuration calls for front and rear support points, which may require additional adapters per side.
When your cabinet is already built around KV pilasters, the 1303 adapter lets you add drawer slide capability without compromising the adjustable-shelf layout or putting new holes in the panel — the whole installation stays on one consistent hardware platform.
