This is the right-hand cabinet member from Knape & Vogt's 8505 series, a 20 inch over-travel ball-bearing file drawer slide built for side-mount installation on the right side of the cabinet. It delivers an extra inch of travel past full extension so loaded file drawers clear the cabinet face completely, and its 150 lb load rating handles the weight of fully packed lateral or vertical file drawers.
File drawers are the primary application for this slide series, and the over-travel stroke is the feature that matters most in that context. A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face. An over-travel slide pushes it one inch past that point, clearing the face frame or countertop overhang so the rear hanging files are reachable without the drawer getting in the way. In a busy office or records room, that extra inch is the difference between an ergonomic pull and an awkward reach. The same over-travel benefit applies to any deep roll-out where the front edge of the cabinet blocks access to the back of the drawer.
Steel members with a zinc finish give this slide long indoor service life. Zinc plating is the right call for office and commercial casework, where moisture is not a concern but durability is. The ball-bearing system runs in formed steel raceways for smooth, consistent travel under load — important when the drawer is carrying the weight of a full hanging-file system day after day. This is not a light-duty residential slide dressed up in heavy-duty language; the 150 lb per pair rating and the file-drawer-specific 8505 series designation reflect a product engineered for repetitive commercial cycling.
This SKU is the right-hand cabinet member only. A complete working drawer requires the matching left-hand cabinet member and both drawer members. The cabinet members mount to the cabinet interior at 1/2 inch clearance per side; build the drawer box to match that clearance. The 20 inch length suits the interior depth of standard lateral file cabinets and deeper base cabinets used in office furniture applications. The Q-Pack format is suited to shops and specifiers ordering in quantity for multi-drawer installations. This slide is for indoor, dry environments — zinc plating handles normal commercial service, not washdown or high-moisture conditions.
No. This is the right-hand cabinet member only. Order the left-hand cabinet member and both drawer members separately to complete one drawer installation.
The 8505 series adds 1 inch of over-travel beyond its full extension, so the drawer clears the cabinet opening by that amount at full open.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent holds the drawer in the closed position once it is pushed home, preventing drift and bounce-back — but it does not self-close or soft-close. Push the drawer closed and it stays there.
Yes. The 20 inch length and 150 lb per pair load rating match the depth and weight requirements of standard lateral file drawers. The over-travel stroke makes the rear hanging files easy to reach.
The 8505 is a side-mount slide that requires rear support in a face-frame cabinet. Add compatible rear mounting brackets for that installation type; in a frameless cabinet, the slide mounts directly to the side panel.
When a file installation calls for over-travel reach and dependable hold-in action, the KV 8505 right-hand cabinet member at 20 inches puts the correct component on the correct side of the cabinet so the complete drawer system is ready to carry the load.
