Hettich Actro 5D 270mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Left hand Zinc - 9257061

Hettich Actro 5D 270mm Drawer Slides For Wooden Drawers

Hettich Actro 5D 270mm drawer slides are full extension undermount runners designed for combining with wooden drawers, so the hardware stays hidden while the drawer travels its full length for clear access to contents. The soft-close function on this runner controls closing speed, which helps prevent slamming at the end of travel on everyday kitchen or furniture drawers. This left hand runner uses a ball bearing system, giving the slide a guided motion that supports smooth operation under load in regular cabinet use. The runner is part of the Actro 5D system with defined load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg) and XL (70 kg), so it is engineered to handle a structured range of drawer weights in residential or commercial cabinetry. The galvanized steel construction provides a zinc finish that resists corrosion in typical indoor woodworking environments.

Key Actro 5D Runner Details For Daily Use

• This Hettich America Corporation Actro 5D runner is an undermount drawer slide, so it supports the drawer from below and keeps the hardware out of sight, giving wooden drawer boxes a cleaner look while maintaining full extension function.
• The full extension action lets the 270mm drawer open to its rated travel, which brings the back of the drawer forward for easier reach and reduces awkward access to stored items at the rear of shallow cabinets or furniture pieces.
• The integrated soft-close mechanism slows the closing stroke at the end of travel, which protects drawer fronts and cabinet faces from impact and creates a controlled close that is useful in busy kitchens and work areas.
• The ball bearing design in this runner supports the drawer on rolling elements, so movement stays guided even when the drawer is loaded within its class, which helps maintain consistent feel over repeated opening and closing cycles.
• The runner is manufactured from galvanized steel, so the zinc-coated surface resists rust in normal interior conditions, which supports long-term performance in residential or commercial cabinetry where humidity changes are common.

Adjustment And Fit Details For Actro 5D Slides

This Actro 5D runner provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, so small vertical shifts can be made at the drawer to align fronts with neighboring fronts or face frames. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets the installer shift the drawer laterally, which helps establish even reveals between drawer fronts without reworking the cabinet. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm creates the ability to fine-tune the angle of the drawer front, which is useful for aligning tall fronts or correcting minor racking in the opening. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows fine positioning around the runner engagement points, which supports smooth coupling between drawer and slide for consistent soft-close action.

Using The Hettich 9257061 Runner In Cabinet Projects

Where This Left Hand 270mm Runner Fits Best

The Hettich 9257061 runner is specified as a 270mm full extension undermount unit for wooden drawers, so it suits short-depth cabinet or furniture applications where space is limited but full travel is still required. Being a left hand runner, it serves as the left side component in a paired Actro 5D installation, which is important when setting up drawer motion so forces are carried correctly on each side. The defined load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg) and XL (70 kg) show that the Actro 5D system is structured for various drawer weights, so this runner participates in a platform that can support small utensil drawers through heavier storage within the rated classes. Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 signals that the runner meets a recognized standard for drawer runners, which gives cabinet shops a reference point when selecting hardware for residential or light commercial casework.

Why Actro 5D Adjustments Support Clean Results

The tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets installers dial in vertical position directly on the runner connection, which shortens the time spent shimming or modifying drawer fronts to meet surrounding lines. Side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm provides controlled lateral movement, so reveals between fronts can be tuned quickly without remounting slides, saving labor in production or on-site fitting. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm helps keep tall drawer fronts flush at top and bottom, which is particularly helpful in pantry units or dressers where small misalignments can stand out across multiple fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm refines how the drawer engages with the runner, so the soft-close sequence can perform consistently across a bank of drawers. Together with the galvanized steel construction, these adjustments support durable, repeatable installations in woodworking environments served by Wurth Baer Supply.
