I bought these to replace the ball bearing slides on one of my kitchen drawers. The package was open when I received it, and when I installed them I realized one of the slides was damaged. The plastic pin that catches the drawer part of the slide was mashed in, and the slide never ran as smooth as the other one. I exchanged them for another set, which was also open. While installing the new set, the plastic soft close mechanism on one slide snapped and broke - and no, I wasn't applying unusual force. I went to the big box store and bought Everbilt slides, which were 2/3 the price. The difference is night and day: the Everbilt slides and much sturdier, with larger ball bearings, and the soft close mechanism has a metal pin (not plastic) and two hefty springs compared to the single tiny spring on the KV. The bottom line is that these KV slides are much flimsier than store-brand slides from the home improvement store, they cost more, and they get damaged very easily. People then return them and they get re-sold to you and me. If you'd like to spend a few hours installing damaged drawer slides, then these are the slides for you. Otherwise, take my advice and go to the orange store instead.

The sliding system to our 13 year old trash cabinet in the kitchen failed and would no longer soft close. We were having to push it shut manually. Rather than contact our contractor and pay an exhorbitant amount to the cabinet manufacturer, we started looking online. Who knew that Amazon would have the correct replacements? Removing the old and installing the new took about an hour. They seem sturdy enough to hold up for another 13 years, hopefully.

I bought this pair to replace a traditional drawer slide. My kitchen cabinets have the traditional American setup with a frame, not European style. For the American setup, I strongly recommend using the 8404 front mounting brackets, which you need to order separately. You also need to order the 8402 rear mounting brackets. The included manual is not that helpful. Read it anyway because there is an important hint about the trigger switch you should push prior to installing. Then search for "How to install KV side mounted drawer slides into your cabinets" on YouTube and you will find a video that shows how to install these (without countertop on). With countertop on it will be more painful due to the limited space you work in. That's when the front mounting brackets come in handy so at least you get the front part positioned properly. The drill holes of your old rear mounting brackets can give you a hint where to mount the new ones. For me it was trial and error until I got bot slides level and parallel. Mounting the members on the drawers is also trial and error. For me the 1 1/4" trick mentioned in the video did not work because my old drawer was slightly skewed. One side had to go lower than the other to get the drawer level. As a bonus slides and brackets are made in USA, so no need to go for Chinese ones.

I think the drawer was perhaps too heavy for the application. Otherwise, slides well.

We are completing a semi-remodel of our kitchen, and I wanted to add some high-end touches. Drawer slides and soft-close doors were high on the list.The first two drawer slide sets that I purchased were made by Liberty. I installed them, and was not happy with how "heavy" they felt. I believe it has to do with the size/type of the bearings. The drawer did not function as smoothly as I had hoped.We opted to try one different brand (Knape & Vogt in this case) to see if the brand made a difference in how easy the drawers open and close, and I have to say we are very pleased. It takes much less effort to operate the drawers on the KV slides than the Liberty slides. The closing mechanism is very smooth. We ordered more KV slides to finish out the drawers in our kitchen.One note on installation - our cabinets were not perfectly square, so it made it very hard to line up the slides perfectly. My first drawer took over 2 hours while I measured, leveled, drilled, etc, and the drawer still didn't fit in smoothly. I finally figured out that I could install the pieces on the drawer (on either side, about 1/4" up from the bottom), and the install the front screw into the other piece that attaches to inside face of the cabinet. This allows the piece attached to the cabinet to pivot when you insert the drawer.I then inserted the drawer into the opening, holding it up from underneath with a small piece of wood. I then leveled it out from underneath with a small level, ensuring that the face close flush, and drove the screws into the rear brackets that way. We have face frame cabinets, by the way. Install time using this method - 10 minutes per drawer, and there was no binding or anything.
