This is the left-hand cabinet member from Knape and Vogt's 8505 series, a 20 inch side-mount ball-bearing slide built specifically for file drawers that need to travel past the cabinet face to clear a countertop overhang or deep face frame. It is a single component designed to pair with the matching right-hand cabinet member and the appropriate drawer members to make a complete file drawer slide installation.
Standard full-extension slides bring a drawer to the cabinet face, which works well for kitchen and utility drawers. File drawers are different: hanging folders are tall and the front rail of the drawer box partially blocks the contents even at full extension. Over-travel pushes the drawer one inch past the cabinet front so the folder tabs clear the opening and every file in the back of the drawer is reachable without stretching. This slide is the practical choice any time a countertop overhangs the cabinet face or a deep face frame puts the opening behind the wall plane — the extra inch of travel solves both problems at once.
The 8505 series cabinet member is formed steel with a zinc finish, the standard protective coating for indoor side-mount hardware. Ball bearings run in steel raceways for smooth, load-bearing travel, and the hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch — not a damper — that holds the drawer shut and stops it from rebounding after a firm close. This is not a soft-close slide; the drawer stays where it is left when open and is held positively closed when shut. The Q-Pack format provides trade-quantity packaging suited to shops and installers ordering in volume.
This left-hand cabinet member is for cabinet shops, furniture makers, and office-furniture installers building or retrofitting file drawers in lateral or vertical filing cabinets, office casework, and built-in workstations. The 150 lb per pair rating makes it well suited to letter- and legal-size hanging file applications where drawer weight runs higher than a standard kitchen drawer. Because this is a single handed component, ordering requires the matching right-hand cabinet member and the correct drawer members to make a working pair. The 1/2 inch side clearance per slide is the standard requirement for sizing the drawer box width in the cabinet opening.
This is the left-hand cabinet member only. A complete file drawer installation requires the right-hand cabinet member and the drawer members for both sides. Order all components before starting the installation.
It is a mechanical catch that holds the drawer in the closed position and stops it from bouncing back open after a firm push. It does not pull the drawer shut and it does not damp the motion — it simply keeps the drawer closed once you push it there.
This slide adds 1 inch of travel past the full-extension point. That extra inch is what lets hanging folder tabs clear the cabinet front and makes rear contents reachable without reaching into the opening.
Yes, but face-frame installations require rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide — the brackets are not included and must be ordered separately. Without rear support, the back of the cabinet member is unsupported inside a face-frame box.
The finish is zinc on steel. It provides reliable corrosion protection for dry, indoor environments such as offices and file rooms. It is not rated for damp, wet, or outdoor use.
The 8505 left-hand cabinet member delivers the over-travel reach and heavy-duty rating that file drawers actually need, with a hold-in detent that keeps things tidy in a busy office — all in a zinc steel member sized for the long haul of daily filing work.
