This is the right-hand cabinet member from Knape and Vogt's 8500 series — a 22 inch, 150 lb class, full-extension side-mount ball bearing slide component built specifically for file and lateral drawers. The hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the drawer closed after a firm push, making it the right call for office and shop drawers that take daily abuse.
Lateral file drawers loaded with hanging folders routinely push past what a standard 100 lb cabinet slide can handle reliably. The 8500 series is built for that load class, and the hold-in anti-rebound detent addresses the specific frustration of a heavy drawer that rebounds open after closing. At 22 inches, this cabinet member suits standard-depth office cabinets, shop storage units, and utility cases where the drawer needs to open all the way — full extension brings the rearmost contents out to the cabinet face, nothing hidden at the back. The progressive ball bearing movement keeps travel smooth and consistent even when the drawer is loaded, pull after pull.
The cabinet member is formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in office and shop environments. Zinc plating provides indoor corrosion resistance; this is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet or outdoor use. The 8500 series profile stands taller than standard cabinet slides to accommodate the quick-disconnect rail on the drawer members, which lets the drawer lift free without tools when it is pulled to full extension.
Cabinet shops building file pedestals, lateral file units, or heavy storage cases will reach for the 8500 series when the drawer load exceeds what standard 100 lb slides are rated for. This Q-Pack listing is the right-hand cabinet member only — it is designed for environments where production runs call for right-hand and left-hand members to be ordered and stocked separately. Pair it with the matching left-hand cabinet member and the appropriate drawer members for this length to complete each drawer installation. For face-frame cabinets, add the KV series rear mounting brackets, sold separately, to support the back end of the slide.
No. This is the right-hand cabinet member only. A complete drawer installation requires the right-hand cabinet member, the left-hand cabinet member, and both drawer members. Order each component to match the 22 inch length.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from bouncing back open. There is no damper and no spring assist — the drawer does not pull itself shut and does not slow down as it closes.
Full extension — the drawer member travels approximately the full 22 inch slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. The 22 inch figure is the closed slide length, not a travel limit.
Yes. Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear mounting support. KV makes matching rear brackets for the 8500 series, sold separately; without them, the back end of the slide has no bearing surface.
Knape and Vogt recommends a maximum drawer width of 36 inches for the 8500 series full-extension model.
When file drawers, lateral cabinets, or heavy shop storage need a side-mount slide that holds its rating and keeps the drawer reliably closed, the KV 8500 series right-hand cabinet member in 22 inches is the component to build around.
