Knape and Vogt 24 inch drawer slides give a full extension travel, so a file drawer can open its full length for clear access to stored folders and contents at the front and back. The slides are part of the KV Model 8500 Series, so they match a known side mount drawer slide standard used in file drawer construction. These slides are unhanded side mount units, so the same member profile works on either side of the drawer, helping streamline layout and installation steps. The product is classed as a side mount drawer slide with ball bearings, so the motion rides on bearing races rather than friction, which supports smooth travel under normal drawer loading. The slides are made in USA, which matters when matching specifications across commercial millwork or institutional cabinetry built around this product family.
The slides are designed as side mount units, so they secure to the cabinet side walls and the drawer sides, fitting common file drawer construction. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head, so installers can match thread size and head style to the slide mounting holes for proper seating. The factory-attached drawer release clips create a quick disconnect between drawer members and cabinet members, which lets installers remove the drawer for casework fitting, then reattach it without extra loose hardware. The unhanded configuration means the same slide pattern applies to left and right sides, which simplifies stocking and reduces selection steps at the bench.
The KV Model 8500 slides are described as ball bearing file drawer slides, so they are aimed at file drawer applications where full extension travel and controlled movement are important. The hold-in anti-rebound feature is designed to prevent bounce back at the closed position, which helps keep file drawers seated in face frames or flush with fronts in busy office or shop environments. Positive in and out stops are integrated into the slides, so the drawer travel is limited at both ends, helping protect drawer fronts and cabinet faces from over-travel impact. The retainer holds three bearings per inch of race, so the load is spread across multiple bearings along the slide length, supporting smooth and quiet motion when drawers are opened and closed during daily use.
The side clearance specification of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch on each side gives a defined tolerance window, which supports consistent drawer sizing across multiple cabinets and reduces rework when drawers are fit into production casework. The height of 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail sets a reliable reference for drawer side design, which helps align drawer boxes in stack configurations where vertical spacing is limited. Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members keep the disconnect mechanism integral to the slide, so drawers can be removed for finishing, service, or adjustment without separate clip installation steps. The manufacturer part number 8500P 24 clearly identifies this 24 inch length within the 8500 Series, which simplifies reordering the same slide model when building matching banks of file drawers on future phases.
The KV 8500P 24 is a side mount ball bearing drawer slide, so it mounts to drawer and cabinet sides and uses bearings for smooth file drawer travel.
The slides are full extension at 24 inches long, so a properly sized file drawer can open its entire length for full access to stored contents.
The slides require 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch clearance on each side, so drawer widths can be sized to a specific machining target.
The KV 8500P 24 slides have a hold-in feature to prevent bounce back, so drawers stay at the closed position under normal use.
The slide height is 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail, so drawer side design can account for the full vertical profile.
The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, so the heads match the mounting holes and support secure side mounting.
The Knape and Vogt 24 inch full extension file drawer slides pair ball bearing action with a defined 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch side clearance, so they support precise casework sizing. With hold-in anti-rebound action, positive stops, and factory-attached quick disconnect clips, these 8500 Series side mount slides fit file drawer projects that need smooth travel and predictable alignment across multiple cabinets.
