Review on 🗄️ Knape Vogt 8450FMP 22 Soft Close Cabinet Drawer Slides by Choice Maynard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Soft as silk! on drawers

There is a learning curve to upgrading to Knape & Vogt sliders. Using a short magnetic level to fix the cabinet is the most important part. The K&V sliders are great and the soft close is perfect. When I first tried this out last year I was using a Kreg jig and it took forever to get it set up correctly. Now I place a spirit level on the closet rail so that the bottom of the rail is flush with the bottom edge of the opening. Draw a line 3/4 inch up from the bottom of the drawer to adjust the drawer slide. With this technique, everything works perfectly the first time, no adjustment is required. 15 minutes work for each box. Be sure to pre-drill the screw hole guide.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Expensive
