Knape and Vogt 14 inch file drawer slides give a file drawer full extension so the drawer opens its full length, allowing clear access to stored files along the entire slide travel. This model 8500-98 14 right hand cabinet member is a side mount drawer slide component, so it mounts to the cabinet side and works with a corresponding drawer member in a typical file drawer assembly. The slide uses ball bearing construction, and a retainer holds 3 bearings per inch of race, which supports smooth and quiet motion when the drawer is opened and closed. A hold-in feature provides anti-rebound resistance at the closed position, helping the drawer stay shut instead of drifting back out after closing. Positive in and out stops are built into the design, so the travel limits are controlled by the slide instead of by the drawer box or cabinet parts.
The side clearance for this 14 inch Knape and Vogt drawer slide is 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, so the cabinet opening and drawer width can be calculated to that specific clearance for a consistent fit. The slide height is 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail, so cabinet designers can factor that height around drawer bottoms and file rails. The cabinet member is right hand side mount, so it is intended for installation on the right side of the cabinet interior in a matched left/right slide set. Full extension operation means the drawer travels out to expose the usable length of the drawer box, which is important when hanging files must be accessed at the back without obstruction.
This Knape and Vogt 8500 series component is part of a side mount, ball bearing file drawer slide system, so it fits applications where drawers carry file loads and need controlled travel. The cabinet member is designed as a right hand piece, pairing with a left hand cabinet member and corresponding drawer members for a complete slide system in a file cabinet bay. The built-in 32 mm pattern means it works well in cabinets drilled on that system, allowing the installer to set the slide using existing row holes instead of independent layout lines. Because the side clearance is defined as 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch per side, cabinet makers can size the drawer box with that tolerance in mind so the slide can move freely without excessive side play. The height of 3-51/64 inch, measured including the quick disconnect rail, gives a firm reference for locating the drawer bottom and any hanging file hardware above the slide line.
The factory-attached drawer release clips on this KV 8500 model provide quick disconnect of drawer members, so drawers can be removed and reinstalled using the clips instead of unfastening the slide, which can speed up fitting, finishing, and service work. The ball bearing race retains 3 bearings per inch, giving a dense bearing layout along the slide path that supports smooth and quiet motion under load. The hold-in anti-rebound feature at the closed position resists the drawer pushing back out after closing, which is especially useful in file cabinets that see repeated use throughout the day. Positive in and out stops keep the drawer travel within the intended range, protecting the slide from over-travel impacts at the ends of stroke. The recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws match the mounting holes, helping the fastener heads seat correctly in the slide and maintain alignment along the cabinet side. Together, these details support repeatable slide performance in file drawer installations built around the specified 14 inch length and clearances.
