Knape and Vogt 18 inch over travel drawer slide is a left hand cabinet member from the KV Model 8505 series that supports file drawer applications where precise movement and control are important. This 18 inch length cabinet member is part of a side mount ball bearing slide system, so it works in lateral file and cabinet layouts that use side-mounted runners. The slide provides over travel with a hold-in feature, so the drawer can extend beyond nominal length while staying pulled in at the closed position to reduce rebound. Progressive movement on ball bearings guides the travel, which helps maintain smooth, quiet action under normal office or shop use. Factory-attached drawer release clips with a quick disconnect drawer member simplify separation of the drawer from the cabinet member, which matters during installation and later adjustments. The anochrome finish supports a consistent appearance in typical cabinet interiors.
This cabinet member is part of a side mount, ball bearing drawer slide system, so it runs along the cabinet side rather than beneath the drawer. The 32 mm pattern is present, which aligns the slide with cabinet side drilling layouts built around the 32 mm system. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, tying the slide to common installation hardware that matches the hole sizing. The quick disconnect drawer member works with factory-attached drawer release clips, allowing the drawer member to detach from the cabinet member to support fitting, removal, or service without dismantling the entire drawer box.
The KV Model 8505 cabinet member is made in the USA and belongs to a side mount, ball bearing slide family used in file drawers. Its 18 inch length targets cabinet openings that match standard file drawer depths, so lateral or pedestal file units can be built around this stroke. Since the slide uses side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 per side, cabinetmakers can size drawer boxes while holding predictable clearances for file folders and hanging systems. The 3-51/64 inch overall height, including the quick disconnect rail, creates a tall bearing track along the cabinet side, which helps support taller file drawer sides. The anochrome finish provides a consistent metal surface along the race, matching other anochrome components inside casework.
The 8505 series cabinet member uses progressive movement on ball bearings, meaning the ball retainer travels in stages to keep motion controlled through the entire extension. A retainer holding 3 bearings per inch of race provides a dense bearing pattern, supporting even load transfer along the slide. Positive in and out stops define the travel limits at both ends, so the drawer stops consistently without over-running the race. The over travel characteristic allows the drawer front to move beyond the nominal slide length, making files at the back of the drawer easier to access in normal cabinets. The hold-in feature is designed to prevent bounce back from the closed position, so drawers stay fully shut after being pushed in. Factory-attached drawer release clips are paired with a quick disconnect drawer member, helping installers separate or reconnect the drawer and cabinet members efficiently during fitting or when casework needs to be serviced.

The cabinet member is 18 inches long, which sets the drawer extension length and suits cabinet depths built around an 18 inch file drawer slide stroke.
The 8505 series cabinet member uses 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 side clearance on each side, guiding drawer box width so the side mount slide tracks properly.
The hold-in feature on this over travel hold-in ball bearing slide is designed to prevent rebound, so drawers remain fully closed when pushed to the stop.
The cabinet member height is 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail, which defines how much vertical space it occupies on the cabinet side panel.
