The Hettich KA 5632 is a 20 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 90 lb per pair, built from steel with a zinc finish and standard free-sliding motion. It mounts to the side of the drawer box and cabinet interior, one slide per side, delivering smooth telescopic travel on a non-handed design that simplifies both ordering and installation.
A 20 inch full-extension slide suits drawer boxes built for typical base cabinet depth: the full-extension action carries the whole drawer clear of the opening, so pots, pans, tools, and office supplies at the very back are reachable without digging. Standard motion is deliberate here — there is no spring or damper to fight when loading heavy items into a fully open drawer or when using the drawer as a work surface that should stay wherever it is pushed. Shops running kitchen, office, or utility cabinetry in volume will find the non-handed format cuts sorting time when staging hardware before installation.
The slide members are cold-formed steel running steel ball bearings in continuous raceways — the construction that keeps travel smooth and consistent under load across the life of the cabinet. The zinc plating is the segment standard for indoor applications: it protects the steel against everyday moisture and handling without adding cost or visual bulk. Zinc is not a decorative finish and is not rated for wet, outdoor, or high-humidity environments; this slide is intended for dry interior cabinetry.
The KA 5632 is the right choice for cabinet shops and contractors building or retrofitting standard-depth base cabinets and utility drawers where full rear access matters and no closing mechanism is needed or wanted. The 90 lb per-pair rating covers most kitchen and office drawer loads comfortably. Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting support is required — add the appropriate rear mounting brackets, sold separately, because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. In frameless construction, the slide screws directly to the cabinet side panel.
No — 20 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travel is approximately equal to the slide length, bringing the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening. Slide length and drawer travel are separate specs.
Neither. The KA 5632 is a standard-motion slide — no damper and no closing spring. The drawer stays wherever it is left. If you need damped closing on the same install, look for the soft-close variant in this family.
No. The slide is non-handed — both pieces in a pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer box.
Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide, because the cabinet side is recessed behind the face frame. The brackets are sold separately and must be compatible with the KA 5632 series; confirm the correct bracket before ordering.
Per pair. One pair of slides — one on each side of the drawer — is rated together at 90 lb. Do not double the number by counting each slide separately.
The Hettich KA 5632 delivers full-extension reach and a 90 lb per-pair rating in a no-frills, non-handed format that installs quickly and performs consistently — the reliable side-mount choice when smooth travel and complete drawer access are what the job calls for.
