The Hettich Actro YOU right-hand undermount drawer slide is a 500mm full-extension, soft-closing slide built for frameless cabinetry. It carries up to 88 lb per pair on ball bearings and suits drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick, making it a practical fit for a wide range of contemporary cabinet builds.
A 500mm nominal length suits drawers in standard-depth kitchen base cabinets, bathroom vanity towers, and furniture pieces with moderate-to-deep drawer runs. Full extension is the right call wherever the back of the drawer needs to be reachable — think pots-and-pans drawers, deep pantry pull-outs, and shop storage where buried contents would otherwise stay buried. The 88 lb dynamic rating per pair covers most loaded residential and light commercial applications without oversizing the slide.
This slide is designed for frameless construction, where it mounts directly to the interior side panel. Face-frame installations require rear mounting brackets that are not included and must be sourced separately — this slide is not a face-frame variant.
The Actro YOU runs on ball bearings in a galvanized steel body — zinc-finished for indoor corrosion resistance and long service life in a climate-controlled cabinet environment. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the slide rather than bolted on after the fact, so damping behavior is consistent from the first cycle. Drawer side thickness compatibility from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch means the slide works with both thinner engineered-wood box sides and standard 5/8 inch plywood without needing a different model for each.
Cabinet shops running contemporary frameless lines find the Actro YOU a dependable production choice: the ball-bearing ride and integrated soft-close meet the expectation clients bring to modern European-style cabinetry, and the 500mm length drops into the most common kitchen base drawer depth without custom fitting. Designers specifying residential kitchens appreciate the quiet close and the clean undermount profile — nothing visible on the sides when the drawer is open. Contractors and installers ordering for renovation work benefit from the 1/2-to-5/8-inch side compatibility, which accommodates the drawer boxes they are most likely to encounter in the field.
This listing is for the right-hand cabinet member only. To complete one drawer, you need the matching left-hand member ordered separately. One of each — left and right — makes a working pair.
No. This model is rated for drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick. For 3/4 inch (19mm) sides, a different Actro YOU variant is required — confirm the side thickness before ordering.
This slide is designed for frameless cabinets. Face-frame installations need rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide, and those brackets are series-specific. If you are working in face-frame construction, source the matching face-frame hardware before ordering.
The 88 lb rating is per pair and represents the dynamic load — the weight the slide pair carries through normal open-and-close cycling. It is the working number for sizing the slide to the drawer's expected load.
The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the slide body. Specific adjustment details and front locking device requirements follow the Hettich installation specification for the Actro YOU series — build and install the drawer box to that published specification for consistent soft-close performance.
The Actro YOU right-hand slide brings full extension and integrated soft-close to the 500mm drawer run — a straightforward match for contemporary frameless kitchens and furniture where performance at the close matters as much as capacity.
