700mm Undermount Drawer Slide For Deep Cabinet Runs and Heavy Drawers

The Hettich Actro 5D is a right-hand, full-extension undermount drawer slide in 700mm nominal length, rated 154 lb per pair with integrated soft-close damping. It is designed for frameless cabinets and drawer boxes built to 1/2 to 5/8 inch side thickness.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, making every inch of a deep 700mm box reachable.
• 154 lb pair rating covers heavily loaded pantry pulls, file drawers, and deep storage applications.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently — no separate adapter needed.
• Ball bearing construction delivers smooth, consistent travel under load across the full slide length.
• Right-hand orientation — pair with the matching left-hand slide to complete one drawer installation.
• Fits 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides, accommodating both standard and thicker drawer box stock in the same slide.

Where a 700mm Slide Earns Its Keep

A 700mm undermount slide is the right call for deep cabinet runs: pantry pull-outs where full access to the back of a 27-inch-deep box matters, file drawers in home offices where hanging folders fill the whole depth, and utility drawers under long workbenches. At full extension, the entire drawer clears the cabinet opening, so nothing hides at the back. The 154 lb pair rating supports the kind of loads that go into deep drawers — canned goods, filing, heavy tools — without approaching the capacity limit. Soft-close damping matters more on a heavy, deep drawer than on a shallow kitchen box: a loaded 700mm drawer has real momentum at the end of travel, and the integrated damper absorbs it quietly instead of transferring it to the cabinet box.

Construction and Finish

The Actro 5D runs on steel ball bearings housed in formed steel members, with a zinc finish that protects the slide through years of indoor cycling. Zinc is a functional finish — it keeps the steel corrosion-free in the dry cabinet environment where this slide lives. The 700mm length is a metric nominal dimension; build the drawer box to the manufacturer's specified length to ensure proper fit on the undermount clips. Drawer side thickness can range from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch, so the slide accommodates both lighter engineered-wood drawer stock and heavier solid-wood or thicker plywood construction without switching versions.

Who Specifies the Actro 5D in This Length

Cabinet shops running deep frameless boxes — pantry towers, tall utility cabinets, and home office builds — reach for the 700mm Actro 5D when load rating and full access both matter. Designers specifying premium concealed hardware for deep kitchen pull-outs appreciate the soft-close damping and the clean undermount look. Contractors finishing out deep base cabinets or utility rooms find the 154 lb rating provides real working headroom. This slide is for frameless cabinet construction; if the project is face-frame, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back of the slide, and those brackets are series-specific to the Actro 5D program.

The Right Slide for Deep, Loaded Drawers

When the box is deep, the load is heavy, and the close needs to be quiet, the 700mm Actro 5D right-hand slide covers all three requirements in one undermount package.
