The Hettich Actro 5D is a left-hand cabinet runner in the Actro 5D undermount series, designed for frameless cabinet installations with 320mm (nominal) drawers. It pairs ball-bearing precision with integrated soft-close and full-extension travel, accepting drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick.
A 320mm nominal length suits shallower drawers — spice pull-outs, utensil trays, bathroom vanity drawers, and compact base cabinet boxes where a longer slide would crowd the cabinet interior. Full extension at this length means the entire short box clears the opening, which matters more on compact drawers than on deep ones: when only a foot of drawer depth is available, losing even two inches to extension loss makes the back hard to reach. This runner delivers full access without that trade-off.
The soft-close function is built into the runner rather than added on, so there is nothing extra to install and no add-on damper to source separately. For production shops running frameless frameless cabinetry, that means one SKU rather than two when soft-close is in the spec.
The Actro 5D runner is steel with a zinc finish — a durable electroplated coating that protects the steel through years of indoor service and keeps the hardware looking clean inside the cabinet. The ball-bearing system runs in formed steel raceways, holding smooth travel and precise alignment across the slide's full range of motion. The 5D designation in the series name signals five-direction front adjustment capability, which lets the installed drawer front be trued in height, side, depth, and tilt after the drawer is hung — useful when production tolerances stack up across a run of frameless boxes.
Cabinet shops building frameless kitchens and baths specify this runner when the drawer box is 320mm deep and the spec calls for soft-close full extension. Designers working on handle-less or minimal-hardware interiors rely on the undermount position to keep all hardware out of sight. Renovation contractors who are replacing existing undermount hardware in frameless boxes find the 1/2-to-5/8 inch side-thickness range useful: it covers both thickness standards common in production drawer boxes without requiring a separate SKU for each.
This is a left-hand runner only. One left and one right runner are needed to complete a single drawer installation; the matching right-hand runner is a separate item in the Actro 5D series.
Undermount runners are handed because of how the locking devices and adjustment features are oriented on each side of the drawer box. This runner mounts on the left side of the cabinet (when facing the cabinet from the front). You need one left-hand and one right-hand Actro 5D runner to complete a drawer; order the right-hand version separately from the same series.
The Actro 5D is designed for frameless cabinet construction. Face-frame installs require rear mounting support that a standard frameless runner does not provide on its own. If your project is face-frame, look for an Actro face-frame version or add the appropriate rear mounting hardware before specifying this runner.
This single runner accepts both 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch drawer sides — you do not need a separate version for each thickness. Build the box to the Actro 5D's published specifications for whichever side thickness you are using, including the required rear notch and locking-device drilling.
The soft-close function is integrated into the runner. For specific adjustment details — including whether closing force can be tuned — refer to the Hettich Actro 5D installation documentation, as series-level adjustment specs require a confirmed Hettich source.
Push-to-open compatibility on Actro 5D runners depends on the specific push-to-open unit and whether it is a combined soft-close system. A plain mechanical push-to-open and an integrated soft-close can conflict on the same runner unless the system is designed to combine both — confirm compatibility with Hettich's Actro 5D push-to-open accessories before specifying.
When the drawer is short, full extension and a clean soft-close matter most — this left-hand Actro 5D runner delivers both in a steel-and-zinc build sized for frameless cabinetry at the 320mm depth.
