This is the right-hand cabinet member from Knape and Vogt's 8500 Series, a 24 inch full-extension ball-bearing file drawer slide component built for side-mount installations in file cabinets, lateral files, and heavy-duty office casework. Order this piece when you need to replace or complete a right-side installation rather than purchasing a full pair.
The 8500 Series is KV's heavy-duty file drawer program, sized for the loads a real file cabinet sees: hanging folder hardware, tightly packed documents, and daily cycling by multiple users. Full extension is the right choice for file applications because anything less leaves the back of the drawer — and the files stored there — inside the cabinet and out of reach. The hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps drawers closed in shared office settings and on rolling cabinets where vibration can nudge a free-sliding drawer open.
This cabinet member suits face-frame and frameless cabinet construction. In a face-frame cabinet, confirm that rear support brackets are in place to carry the back end of the slide, since the cabinet side is set back from the frame opening. In a frameless cabinet, the member mounts directly to the interior side panel.
Steel construction with a zinc finish gives the 8500 Series cabinet member the structural rigidity a 150 lb file load demands. The zinc plating provides indoor corrosion resistance appropriate for office and woodshop environments. This is not a stainless or powder-coated member — it is a functional zinc finish that stays out of sight once the drawer is installed.
Cabinet shops building or repairing lateral file banks, commercial furniture fabricators, and facilities maintenance teams replacing a worn or damaged right-side slide are the primary buyers for a single cabinet member. When building new, order the matching left-hand cabinet member and both drawer members at the same time to have a complete working set. When replacing, confirm the orientation before ordering — the right-hand and left-hand members are not interchangeable, and returning the wrong piece costs a production day.
This listing is the right-hand cabinet member only. A complete drawer requires a left-hand cabinet member and two drawer members (one per side). All four components should be from the same 8500 Series, 24 inch size to ensure proper fit and rated load performance.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer in the closed position and stops it from rebounding after a push. There is no damper, so the drawer does not slow gradually into the closed position. If you need damped closing, look for a soft-close slide rather than the 8500 Series.
In a face-frame cabinet, the cabinet side is recessed behind the face frame, so the back end of the slide needs rear support. Rear mounting brackets are typically required for face-frame installations and are sold separately. In a frameless cabinet, the member mounts directly to the side panel with no extra hardware.
The 8500 Series requires 1/2 inch of side clearance between the drawer box and the cabinet interior, the standard for side-mount ball-bearing slides. Size the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap on each side.
Q-Pack is a trade-quantity boxed format. Confirm the pack count at checkout to plan your order for multi-drawer file cabinet builds.
Ordering the correct handed component the first time keeps a file cabinet build or repair on schedule — the 8500 Series right-hand cabinet member delivers the load rating, full extension, and hold-in reliability that file drawer installations demand.
