Left-Hand Soft-Close Undermount Runner for Frameless Cabinet Builds

The Hettich Actro 5D is a left-hand ball-bearing undermount drawer slide designed for frameless cabinet construction. This 350mm runner delivers full-extension travel with integrated soft-close and 5D front adjustment, and pairs with its right-hand counterpart to complete one drawer installation.

Key Features

• Left-hand orientation — this is a single cabinet member; pair it with the matching right-hand runner to make a complete, working drawer set.
• Full extension — brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so the full interior is reachable.
• Integrated soft-close — damped closing settles the drawer silently without a separate add-on device.
• 5D front adjustment — fine-tunes the installed drawer front in five directions after the box is hung.
• 88 lb load rating — rated per pair for everyday loaded kitchen and bath drawers.
• Ball-bearing design on a zinc-finished steel body — smooth travel under load across years of daily cycles.

Built for the Frameless Cabinet

Frameless (Euro-style) construction is where the Actro 5D is at home. The runner mounts directly to the flat interior panel — no rear bracket required — and the 32mm system hole pattern lines it up cleanly on the line-bored grid. At 350mm nominal length, this runner suits drawer boxes built to that depth, so size the box to the slide's specification before machining. The drawer side thickness runs 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch (the maximum is 5/8 inch), giving some flexibility across different drawer box material choices while staying within Hettich's engineered tolerance for this runner.

Soft-Close and Adjustment Working Together

The Actro 5D integrates its soft-close damper directly into the runner body, so there is nothing extra to retrofit or purchase to get a damped close. Once the drawer is hung, the 5D adjustment system lets you true the front in multiple directions — height, side, depth, and tilt among them — without pulling the box back out. That combination of integrated damping and post-install front adjustment is what separates a precision undermount from a basic concealed runner, and it is what makes the Actro 5D a practical choice for production cabinet shops running frameless work at volume.

Who Orders This Runner and When

Cabinet shops and professional installers specify this runner when the design calls for handle-less or recessed-pull fronts where the concealed undermount look matters, or when the customer wants the silent, damped close that has become the residential standard. Because this is a left-hand single runner, it suits three ordering scenarios: replacing a failed left-hand member in an existing Actro 5D pair, purchasing left and right runners as separate line items to build a complete set, or stocking each side independently for a high-volume shop that manages left and right inventory separately. Homeowners completing a single drawer repair will find the same runner here that a production shop orders by the case.

The Right Runner for the Left Side

Add this left-hand Actro 5D runner to your order alongside its right-hand match, and the pair delivers full-extension travel, integrated soft-close, and precise 5D front adjustment — everything a frameless drawer needs to close quietly and hang straight.
