Hettich Actro 5D 550mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9257108

Hettich Actro 5D 550mm Drawer Slide For Wooden Drawers

Hettich Actro 5D 550mm drawer slide is a full extension undermount runner designed for combining with a wooden drawer, so the hardware stays concealed while the drawer travels its full length. The soft-close Silent opening system controls movement, which helps drawers close gently and settle without rebound in everyday use. This runner is rated for load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg), giving you a 154 lb capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, so the slide supports a wide range of drawer loads within a tested standard. Galvanized steel construction provides a stable running surface and resists corrosion, which is important in busy cabinet environments. This model is the left-hand runner with manufacturer part 9257108, so it matches installations where a dedicated left runner is required in an Actro 5D setup.

Key Actro 5D Features That Support Daily Use

• The full extension runner lets the wooden drawer open its complete depth, so contents at the back are accessible without overreaching or removing items.
• The soft-close Silent opening system manages closing speed, which reduces slamming and helps protect cabinet fronts and drawer joinery from impact over time.
• Load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) provide a 154 lb capacity, so the runner can carry light utility drawers through heavier storage while staying within the rated range.
• Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, means the runner has been tested to a recognized furniture standard, which supports consistent performance in regular cabinet service.
• Galvanized steel construction resists rust and wear, so the running surfaces stay smoother for longer service life under repeated opening and closing.

Installation And 5D Adjustment For Accurate Drawer Fit

This Actro 5D runner offers tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, so installers can raise the drawer front slightly to align with adjacent fronts without changing the cabinet. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets you shift the drawer laterally, which helps even out front reveals between stacked or paired drawers. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm affects the angle of the drawer front, so you can correct top or bottom gaps for a straight visual line. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm fine-tunes the drawer position in relation to the cabinet face, which supports smooth engagement of the soft-close system and consistent clearance.

Using The Actro 5D Runner In Cabinet Projects

Where This Undermount Runner Works Best

The Web Description states this runner is for combining with a wooden drawer, so it suits face frame or frameless cabinet projects using wood drawer boxes where concealed hardware is preferred. The undermount design places the runner beneath the drawer, which keeps the sides clear for clean joinery and lets the drawer interior stay closer to full width. Full extension travel brings the back of a 550mm drawer forward, which is valuable in deeper base cabinets where access to the rear is critical. With load classes spanning 10 kg to 70 kg, the same runner family can serve various drawer duties, from utensil or office drawers up to heavier storage, while staying inside its specified capacity. Because this model is the left-hand runner identified as 9257108, it fits situations where a matched left runner is required alongside the corresponding right-hand unit in an Actro 5D install.

How 5D Adjustments Support Consistent Drawer Results

The tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets you correct minor vertical misalignments after the drawer is hung, which can speed finishing because small layout differences in cabinet construction do not require re-drilling. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows fine tuning of the left-right gap, so stacked drawers can share a uniform reveal for a more precise front layout. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm changes the front angle relative to the cabinet, which addresses situations where the top edge leans in or out and helps the fronts appear square to the eye. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm moves the drawer relative to the cabinet depth, which can refine how the soft-close Silent opening system catches and closes, supporting smooth action across a run of drawers. These combined 5D adjustments reduce the need for structural changes to boxes or cases, because the runner provides multiple ways to correct small alignment differences directly at the hardware.
