This is a 14 inch side-mount ball bearing file drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8505 series, rated 150 lb per pair with 1 inch of over-travel that carries the drawer past full extension to clear countertop overhangs and deep face frames.
A standard full-extension slide stops the drawer at the cabinet face. In a compact cabinet tucked beneath a countertop overhang, that is exactly where the overhang blocks access to the back of the drawer. The 8505's 1 inch over-travel pushes the drawer member past that point, bringing the rear contents out into the open. The same advantage applies in cabinets with deep face frames, where the frame itself eats into usable opening depth. At 14 inches, this slide is sized for shallower cabinets — work-area built-ins, shop cabinets, and utility storage where the cabinet is compact but the load is not.
The 8505 series is built from steel throughout, with a zinc finish for indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides — durable and functional, not decorative. The slide sits beside the drawer box when open, so finish is secondary to performance in this application. The 150 lb class construction is noticeably heavier-built than the standard 100 lb cabinet slide, with a taller profile to suit the file-drawer duty class.
Cabinet shops building compact shop storage, contractors fitting out under-counter work areas, and office furniture builders specifying file drawers in space-constrained cabinets all land on the 8505 when two conditions are true: the load is beyond the reach of a standard kitchen slide, and the drawer needs to clear an overhang or frame at full open. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a practical bonus in shop and office environments where a loaded drawer pushed shut with one hand must stay shut. This is a poly-pack — one pair of slides with mounting hardware included.
No. 14 inches is the closed slide length. Because this is an over-travel slide, the drawer member extends the full 14 inches and then an additional inch past that — a total travel of roughly 15 inches from the closed position.
They are different mechanisms. The hold-in anti-rebound detent on this slide is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer closed and prevents it from bouncing back open — there is no spring assist and no damper. Soft-close uses a damper to slow the drawer to a quiet, controlled close. This slide does not have soft-close.
No. The 8505 is non-handed — the same slide fits either side of the drawer. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count.
It can, but face-frame construction requires rear support at the back of the slide. Add the matching KV rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to complete a face-frame install. The slide alone is designed for direct side mounting in frameless cabinets.
Knape and Vogt recommends a maximum drawer width of 30 inches for the 8505 series.
When the cabinet is shallow, the load is real, and the overhang is in the way, the 14 inch 8505 resolves all three constraints in one slide — over-travel to clear the obstruction, 150 lb class capacity for the load, and a hold-in detent so the drawer stays put between uses.
