Hettich Actro 5D 270 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 88 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Right Hand, Zinc, 9257062

Hettich Actro 5D Undermount Drawer Slide for Short, Precision-Fit Drawers

The Hettich Actro 5D is a ball-bearing, full-extension soft-close undermount runner built for frameless cabinets. This is the right-hand member in the 270mm length, suited to compact drawers where a concealed slide and silent close are still the specification.

Key Features

• Full extension carries the entire drawer to the cabinet face, putting the back of even a short box within reach.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently on ball bearings.
• 88 lb weight capacity per pair handles a fully loaded spice or utensil drawer in a compact base cabinet.
• Ball-bearing carriage delivers precise, smooth travel under load without the shimmy common to roller-based runners.
• Right-hand orientation means this single member pairs with a left-hand Actro 5D runner of the same length to make one working set.
• Steel construction with zinc finish provides lasting performance in dry, indoor cabinetry applications.

Where This Slide Fits the Job

At 270mm, this runner is sized for drawers in compact base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and furniture pieces where cabinet depth limits a longer slide. Spice drawers, shallow utensil drawers, and small accessory pull-outs are natural applications. Full extension means the entire box comes out to the cabinet face regardless of length, so nothing stays buried at the back. Because the slide mounts concealed beneath the drawer box, the interior of the frameless cabinet stays clean with no visible hardware when the drawer is open. This is a frameless-cabinet product; the slide fastens directly to the side panel without a face-frame overlay or rear mounting bracket.

Construction and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give this runner the corrosion resistance it needs for years of indoor service. The ball-bearing carriage is what separates the Actro 5D from roller-based undermounts: steel balls in formed raceways deliver consistent resistance and tight tracking through the full travel range, which matters most on a 270mm drawer that cycles frequently. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the runner, not an add-on clip, so there is nothing extra to install or replace. The zinc finish is functional rather than decorative — the slide sits beneath the box and is not visible in use.

Who Should Order This Runner

Cabinet shops building frameless European-style casework with shallow drawers will find this runner covers the compact end of the Actro 5D range without compromising on motion quality. Designers specifying handle-less modern kitchens or furniture-grade bathroom vanities get the same concealed, ball-bearing performance in a 270mm runner that they would expect from a longer slide. Installers working on replacement projects in existing frameless cabinets can match the Actro 5D's specification when the original runner is worn. This slide is for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides built to the Hettich specification for this series, including the required rear notch and front locking-device drilling.

The Right Runner for Compact Frameless Drawers

The Actro 5D 270mm right-hand runner brings full-extension ball-bearing precision and integrated soft-close to the shortest drawers in a frameless cabinet run — order the matching left-hand runner and the series locking devices to complete each drawer.
