Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slide describes a single left hand cabinet member from the KV 8505 series, so it serves as the fixed side-mounted track for a file drawer system. As a side mount drawer slide in the 8505 series, it is built for applications where the cabinet member guides a matching drawer member for controlled extension. The over travel design lets the drawer move beyond full extension, improving access to files when the mating drawer member is used. Its ball bearing construction provides progressive movement on ball bearings, creating a smooth and quiet motion during opening and closing. The hold-in feature works to prevent bounce back at the closed position, which keeps file drawers seated against the cabinet front in normal use. Positive in and out stops help define travel limits, which supports repeatable drawer positioning in cabinet installations.
This Knape and Vogt 8505-99 16 cabinet member is designed as a side mount drawer slide component, so it runs along the cabinet side rather than underneath the drawer. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side sets the working drawer-to-cabinet gap, helping fabricators size drawer widths for predictable action. Height of 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail defines the space the slide occupies vertically, allowing installers to position slides so drawers clear each other in multi-drawer cabinets. The 32 mm pattern supports mounting along standard 32 mm system holes, which streamlines drilling and screw placement in commercial cabinet shops using this construction standard. The recommended fasteners of #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head give a practical screw format for anchoring the cabinet member to cabinet sides in wood-based casework.
The KV Model 8505 cabinet member in 16 inch length is part of a ball bearing file drawer slide system, so it is aimed at file drawer applications needing smooth travel. This specific part is the left hand cabinet member, meaning it mounts to the left interior wall of the cabinet and supports a matching drawer member for the moving side. Its over travel design lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front when properly paired, which helps users access files at the back of the drawer without obstruction. The hold-in feature that prevents bounce back holds the drawer in the closed position, which is useful for file cabinets that rely on the drawer staying shut when not actively used. Progressive movement on ball bearings delivers a consistent feel through the stroke, which assists in handling heavier file loads while maintaining controlled motion in routine office or shop environments. Positive in and out stops define end positions for the slide, which contributes to stable open and closed locations in cabinet installations.
The anochrome finish on this 8505 series cabinet member defines the surface treatment of the slide, which supports a uniform appearance in metal hardware lines. The retainer that holds 3 bearings per inch of race is part of the ball bearing design, so it spreads load across multiple contact points for smoother travel under normal drawer loads. Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members are built into the series, which means that when paired with matching drawer members, drawers can be removed and reinstalled without separate clip handling during service work. The recommended #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head fasteners match the slide holes, giving installers a known screw size and head style that seats well in wood cabinet sides. The 16 inch length, the defined side clearance range, and the 3-51/64 inch height together guide cabinet and drawer sizing, which contributes to consistent performance across multiple cabinets built to the same dimensions.

The cabinet member height is 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail, which defines the vertical space it occupies on the cabinet side panel.
The hold-in feature helps prevent bounce back at the closed position, so the drawer remains seated against the cabinet front during normal use.
