KV8505 18" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing File Drawer Slides, Right Hand Side Mount Zinc Q-Pack - 8505-98 18

Knape And Vogt 18 Inch Over Travel File Slide

Knape and Vogt 18 inch over travel file drawer slide uses the KV Model 8505 side mount design, so it supports file drawer applications where extra opening travel improves folder access and cabinet workflow. This right hand cabinet member from the 8505-98 18 part number works as the cabinet-side component, which lets you match it with the corresponding drawer member for a complete slide system during cabinetry builds or repairs. The drawer slide height of 3-51/64 inches, including the quick disconnect rail, sets a known profile that helps plan drawer box clearance within typical cabinet side spaces on file storage projects. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the running space between slide and drawer, helping installers size drawer widths so the slide tracks properly in service. An anochrome finish provides a consistent surface that supports the ball bearing races in normal interior cabinet environments.

Key 8505-98 18 Features For File Drawers

• The over travel hold-in feature on this 18 inch slide allows the drawer to extend past the cabinet front and then stay pulled in at rest, which improves folder reach while reducing unwanted rebound in daily use.
• Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members simplify separating drawer and cabinet components, which speeds installation, adjustments, and drawer removal when shops need service access.
• Positive in and out stops on the KV 8505 design control travel limits, which helps protect drawer fronts and cabinet faces from overextension impact in busy file storage areas.
• The retainer holding 3 bearings per inch of race supports smooth and quiet motion along the slide, which benefits projects where drawers cycle frequently during office or shop work.
• Progressive movement on ball bearings coordinates both slide members during travel, which creates an even opening feel that helps drawers track straight under typical filing loads.
• The 32 mm pattern on this side mount slide aligns with system drilling practices, which helps production shops integrate the cabinet member into line-bored casework without extra layout steps.

Side Mount Fit, Clearance, And Fastener Details

This right hand side mount drawer slide uses 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch side clearance on each side, which directly guides drawer box width when fitting a file drawer into a case. The 3-51/64 inch overall height, including the quick disconnect rail, shapes how the slide sits vertically on the cabinet side, allowing builders to coordinate with drawer bottom locations and cross rails. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws (BST5/8-7-2C), giving installers a specific screw size and head style that matches the slide holes and material thickness for secure mounting. The side mount configuration places the 8505 series cabinet member along the interior cabinet wall, which supports typical file drawer layouts in casework using standard side panels and system drilling.

Using The KV 8505 Over Travel Slide In Projects

Where This 18 Inch File Drawer Slide Fits Best

This Knape and Vogt 18 inch over travel file drawer slide suits cabinet installations that use side mount, ball bearing slides in file storage layouts. The 18 inch length supports typical file drawer depths in office or residential cabinetry, aligning with common case dimensions so drawers open far enough to view hanging files. A 32 mm pattern on the cabinet member allows the slide to integrate into line-bored cabinet sides that follow system drilling, which benefits production shops using European-style case construction. The right hand cabinet member configuration matches right side mounting, helping installers orient parts correctly on the cabinet side panel. An anochrome finish complements metal hardware in many case interiors while supporting the smooth action of the ball bearing races under normal indoor conditions.

Why These 8505 Features Support Reliable Drawer Action

The over travel function on this KV 8505 series slide moves the drawer slightly beyond full extension, which improves access to rear file folders and reduces the need to reach inside the cabinet opening during daily use. A hold-in feature to prevent bounce back keeps the drawer resting firmly in the closed position, which supports alignment with face frames or doors in file storage runs. Positive in and out stops limit travel at both ends, which helps prevent the drawer from pulling out too far or slamming beyond its designed range. Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members allow the drawer to lift off or release from the cabinet member without dismantling the slide, which helps during installation, on-site adjustments, or drawer changes. A retainer that holds 3 bearings per inch of race works with the progressive movement on ball bearings to deliver smooth, quiet motion, which suits high-use file drawers where consistent slide feel matters over time.
