Hettich Actro 5D 700mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Left hand Zinc - 9257116

Hettich Actro 5D 700mm Drawer Slide Function

Hettich Actro 5D 700mm drawer slide is a full extension undermount runner designed to work with wooden drawers, giving the drawer full access along its length so stored items remain easy to reach even in deeper cabinets. The soft-close function controls the final travel of the drawer, so drawers close gently and consistently in day-to-day use. A load capacity classified up to 70 kg in the XL load class means this runner is built to support demanding drawer loads in applications where heavier contents are common. The load capacity is tested to EN 15338, Level 3, so performance is verified against a recognized furniture hardware standard. This runner is built in a left hand version, which matters when matching it with the correct counterpart in a drawer system. Galvanized steel construction supports long-term service in typical woodworking environments.

Key Working Advantages Of This Undermount Runner

• The full extension runner design allows the drawer to travel its entire length, so the back of a wooden drawer can be accessed without shifting contents forward, which helps in day-to-day cabinet use.
• The soft-close function manages the closing movement, helping drawers settle smoothly into the cabinet without abrupt impact, which is useful in projects where controlled, quiet closing is expected.
• Load classes XS, L, and XL with capacities of 10 kg, 40 kg, and 70 kg allow this runner series to support a range of drawer weights, so the runner can be matched to light, medium, or heavy-duty wooden drawer applications.
• Load capacity verified to EN 15338, Level 3 shows the runner has been tested against an industry furniture standard, which matters in commercial or high-use cabinetry where consistent slide performance is valued.
• Galvanized steel construction provides a protective metallic finish on the runner, which supports resistance to everyday wear in cabinet interiors and helps maintain smooth function over time.
• The left hand configuration defines how this specific runner fits into a paired installation, which matters when planning parts lists and layout for multi-drawer cabinet runs.

Undermount Runner Adjustment And Fit Details

This runner is designed as an undermount slide for wooden drawers, so it carries the drawer from underneath and keeps the sides visually clear for clean cabinet lines. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm allows the installer to shift the drawer front vertically at the runner, which is useful for aligning reveals without dismantling hardware. Tool-less side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets the drawer front move sideways, helping fine-tune gaps between adjacent fronts. Tool-less tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm provides a way to influence the front top-to-bottom angle, helping achieve even sightlines across taller drawer fronts. Tool-less radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm supports refining how the drawer front seats relative to the cabinet, contributing to precise, repeatable alignment in fitted work.

How This Hettich Actro 5D Runner Works In Use

Where This Full Extension Undermount Runner Fits

This full extension undermount runner is designed to combine with wooden drawers, so it suits cabinet and furniture projects that use wooden box construction rather than metal drawer systems. The undermount configuration carries the drawer from below, keeping the slide hardware concealed when the drawer is open, which is useful in cabinetry where a clean interior view matters. The ability to work across load classes XS at 10 kg, L at 40 kg, and XL at 70 kg means the Actro 5D family can be specified for drawers ranging from light utility storage to heavier-duty storage within the same design language. Load capacity tested to EN 15338, Level 3 means the runner has been assessed under demanding cyclic and load conditions, which supports use in residential or commercial cabinetry where drawers are opened and closed frequently.

Why Actro 5D Adjustments Support Precise Results

The tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets installers bring drawer fronts into a common horizontal line after mounting, which is especially helpful when aligning a stack of drawers in a tall cabinet. Tool-less side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm gives small but effective lateral movement, so adjacent drawer fronts can be tuned for parallel gaps without removing the drawer box from the runner. Tool-less tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm allows fine control of the drawer front angle, helping tall or wide fronts sit flush with the cabinet face. Tool-less radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm adds another plane of control, so the relationship between drawer front and cabinet body can be refined for consistent engagement and visual alignment. The soft-close function works together with these adjustment options so that, once aligned, the drawer closes into the same position repeatedly. Galvanized steel construction supports the stability of these adjustments over time because the runner components are built from a robust metallic base material.
