Knape Vogt 8250P 18 Pencil Drawer Slide 18 in Chrome

Product Description

The KNAPE VOGT 8250P 18 is a variable-height pencil drawer slide designed for use in desk and cabinet installations where shallow pencil drawers require precise vertical adjustability. Built with a chrome finish over a steel-based construction, this slide uses a ball bearing glide mechanism to deliver smooth, consistent drawer travel. A hold-in detent keeps the drawer closed securely during normal use. Rated at 75 pounds load capacity, it suits light-duty residential and commercial millwork applications. Installation is handled by cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and shop fitters working with new builds or retrofits requiring a 18-inch slide length.

This slide is suited for pencil drawer assemblies in desks, workstations, and office furniture cabinetry where full-extension access is not required. The variable-height design allows the installer to adjust the drawer position to clear aprons or fit non-standard cabinet openings. The bracket mount type allows straightforward attachment to standard cabinet side panels or undermount framing without specialty tooling. Both residential furniture shops and commercial office furniture installers commonly specify this slide format for shallow accessory drawers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by cabinetmakers or finish carpenters using standard hand and power tools. Disconnect any electrical components in the work area before beginning cabinet modifications. Ensure the cabinet opening and drawer box dimensions are confirmed before mounting to avoid misalignment. Follow applicable local building and millwork standards when installing in commercial environments.
