This is the right-hand cabinet member from Knape and Vogt's 8505 series, a 16 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing slide component rated in the 150 lb class per pair. It is designed for file drawers, lateral drawers, and heavy storage applications where a standard 100 lb cabinet slide is not enough — and where the drawer needs to travel past full extension to clear an overhang or deep face frame.
Most file drawers sit beneath a countertop overhang or behind a face frame that pushes the cabinet opening back from the work surface. At full extension a standard slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face — but the overhang still blocks access to the rear half of the drawer. The 8505 series sends the drawer member 1 inch past the slide's nominal length, so the back of a loaded lateral file actually clears into the open workspace. That extra inch is the reason the 8505 exists as a separate series from the full-extension 8500: it solves the specific problem of the drawer that opens fully but still doesn't let you reach the back.
The cabinet member is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in office and shop environments. Zinc protects the steel members through daily cycling in an indoor setting; it is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet or outdoor use. The progressive ball bearing movement that defines the 8505 series delivers smooth, even travel under the weight of a full file drawer, and the hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps the loaded drawer securely closed without a spring assist or a damper. The drawer stays put until pulled.
This SKU is the right-hand cabinet member only. It is a handed component: the right-hand member mounts on the right interior wall of the cabinet as you face the opening. To complete a drawer installation you also need the matching left-hand cabinet member and both drawer members — order those as separate line items. The pair rates 150 lb per pair, making the 8505 the correct choice for lateral files, deep storage drawers, and heavy shop drawers that a standard 100 lb cabinet slide cannot safely carry. KV recommends a maximum drawer width of 30 inches for this 1 inch over-travel series. Mount it with 1/2 inch of side clearance per side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior, using the 32mm hole pattern for direct fastening in frameless cabinets. Face-frame installs need matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately.
The 8505 cabinet member is handed — the geometry is mirrored left to right. Ordering two right-hand members gives you two identical pieces that will not make a working pair. You need one right-hand and one left-hand cabinet member, plus both drawer members, to complete a single drawer.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch, not a damper. It holds the drawer in the closed position and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push, but it does not slow the drawer's travel. There is no damping on this slide.
The 8505 series adds 1 inch of travel beyond full extension. For a file drawer under a countertop overhang, that inch carries the rear of the drawer out past the overhang edge and into clear workspace, making the back of the drawer reachable without bending under the counter.
Knape and Vogt recommends a maximum drawer width of 30 inches for the 8505 over-travel series. For wider lateral file drawers, the full-extension 8500 supports up to 36 inches.
Yes. In a face-frame cabinet the cabinet side is set back from the frame, so the rear of the slide needs support from a rear mounting bracket. The brackets are KV series-specific and sold separately — they do not interchange with brackets from other slide lines.
Pairing the right-hand and left-hand 8505 cabinet members with the matching drawer members gives you a 150 lb class, over-travel file drawer installation that keeps loaded drawers closed, clears overhangs, and holds up to daily use in an office or shop environment.
