Black Over-Travel Drawer Slides Built for Shop and Cabinet Work

The Knape and Vogt 8405 series is a 20 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing drawer slide in an Ebony Black finish, rated 100 lb per pair. The over-travel action carries the drawer 1 inch past full extension, and a hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps it firmly closed between uses. Sold in bulk-pack quantity for shop or production use.

Key Features

• Ebony Black finish — coordinates with dark cabinet interiors, painted shop cabinets, and handle-less modern fronts without the silver of zinc hardware.
• 1 inch of over-travel — the drawer member extends a full inch past the slide's closed length, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face frames.
• 100 lb rating per pair — handles a loaded utility, shop, or kitchen drawer in the standard cabinet class.
• Hold-in anti-rebound detent — a mechanical catch keeps the drawer closed and stops it from bouncing back after a firm push.
• Non-handed design — one slide fits either side of the drawer, simplifying inventory and installation.
• Lever disconnect — the drawer member releases quickly for cleaning or drawer removal without tools.

Where Over-Travel Pays Off

Standard full-extension slides bring the drawer face to the cabinet opening and stop there. The 8405's over-travel pushes the drawer 1 inch past that point, which matters when the cabinet sits beneath a countertop overhang, behind a thick face frame, or in a garage or shop setup where you need clear access to the back of the drawer. Think loaded tool drawers, shop consumables storage, and kitchen base cabinets under stone countertops where the overhang would otherwise block the rear contents. The hold-in detent pairs well with these environments: a drawer that gets slammed shut stays shut instead of creeping back open.

Finish and Construction

Steel members carry an Ebony Black finish rather than the standard zinc or anochrome. On open shelving, shop cabinets with painted interiors, and cabinetry with black or dark hardware pulls, the black slide disappears against the surrounding surfaces instead of drawing the eye. It is a functional indoor finish — not a decorative coating rated for moisture or outdoor exposure. The slide mounts one per side of the drawer box on 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops running dark or painted interiors will find the Ebony Black finish a cleaner match than zinc when a slide is occasionally visible. Shop builders fitting drawers under worktops get the over-travel clearance at the same 100 lb, 1/2 inch clearance format as the standard KV 8400 series. Contractors doing production work appreciate the bulk-pack format and the non-handed design — one SKU covers every slide position on the job. For face-frame cabinets, the rear of the slide needs support: add the matching KV rear mounting brackets, sold separately.

The Right Slide Keeps the Drawer Working the Way You Built It

The 8405 in Ebony Black gives over-travel clearance and a stay-closed detent in a finish that works with dark cabinetry and shop interiors, sold in bulk quantities for production and professional use.
