Right-Hand Soft-Close Undermount Slide for 18-Inch Face-Frame and Frameless Drawers

The Hettich Quadro V6 18-inch right-hand undermount drawer slide is a full-extension, soft-close concealed slide rated 90 lb, built for kitchen, bath, and furniture drawers in both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face so nothing at the back goes unreachable.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently on a damped mechanism.
• 90 lb weight capacity handles a fully loaded pots-and-pans or utility drawer.
• Right-hand orientation — pair with the left-hand version to complete one drawer installation.
• Face-frame and frameless compatible — fits either cabinet construction without swapping slide families.
• Ball bearing construction in a zinc-finish steel body delivers smooth, consistent travel across the life of the drawer.

Where This Slide Earns Its Place

An 18-inch undermount slide suits a drawer box built to the 18-inch nominal length — common in base cabinet banks, bathroom vanities, and bedroom case goods where a mid-depth drawer is the standard. Full extension means the back of the box clears the cabinet opening completely, which matters in kitchen drawers carrying stacked cookware or in shop cabinets holding tools that would otherwise stay buried. The 90 lb capacity gives that drawer real working load without approaching the slide's limit on everyday cycles. Because this slide fits both face-frame and frameless construction, a shop running mixed cabinet types can source the same slide for the whole project rather than splitting the order.

Construction and Fit

The Quadro V6 runs on ball bearings in a zinc-finish steel body, the standard corrosion-resistant finish for indoor cabinetry. It is designed for drawer sides between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch thick — confirm the box side thickness matches before building. Side clearance is 4mm per side, tighter than the 12.7mm a typical side-mount ball-bearing slide requires, which is one of the practical reasons a concealed undermount leaves more interior width in a narrow drawer. The slide mounts beneath the drawer box and attaches at the front with locking devices; the drawer box must be built and notched to Hettich's published specification for the Quadro V6 series.

Who Reaches for This Slide

Cabinet shops building residential kitchens and bath projects reach for the Quadro V6 when the design calls for concealed hardware and the spec sheet asks for soft-close. Designers specifying full-access storage in face-frame cabinetry choose it because face-frame compatibility is listed, not assumed — many undermount slides are frameless-only, and this one is not. Homeowners replacing worn or noisy slides in an existing 18-inch drawer get the benefit of the damped close and ball-bearing smoothness without changing the cabinet. This is an indoor, dry-environment slide; it is not suited for exterior, wet, or high-humidity installations.

The Right Slide, Ready to Work

Pair this right-hand Quadro V6 with its left-hand counterpart, build the box to Hettich's spec for 1/2-to-5/8-inch sides, and the result is a full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer that disappears behind the front and opens cleanly every time.
