Hettich Actro 5D 420 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 88 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Right Hand, Zinc, 9257074

Hettich Actro 5D Undermount Slide For Right-Hand Frameless Cabinet Installations

The Hettich Actro 5D is a 420mm right-hand undermount drawer slide with integrated soft-close, full extension, and ball-bearing travel — the right-hand member of a concealed runner system built for frameless cabinetry and drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face, making the back of the drawer fully reachable.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly without a separate damper add-on.
• 88 lb capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with headroom to spare.
• Ball-bearing carriage delivers smooth, consistent pull under load throughout the 420mm travel range.
• Right-hand orientation — sold as a single runner; pair with the matching left-hand Actro 5D to complete one drawer installation.
• Steel construction with zinc finish provides durable indoor service in a concealed position beneath the drawer box.

Where the Actro 5D Fits In Your Build

At 420mm, this runner suits drawers in the 16 to 18 inch depth range common in kitchen base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and office casework. Full extension means the entire drawer opens to the cabinet face — every inch of the box is accessible without reaching inside. The integrated soft-close makes it the right call wherever quiet, controlled closing is expected: a premium residential kitchen, a spec multifamily project, or a cabinet line where slamming drawers are simply not acceptable. This is a frameless-cabinet runner; it mounts directly to the cabinet side panel, aligning to the 32mm system grid.

Construction and Finish

The Actro 5D runner is steel with a zinc finish — a functional, corrosion-resistant surface suited to years of dry indoor service. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box and stays completely concealed when the drawer is open, the finish is an engineering choice rather than an aesthetic one. The ball-bearing carriage is what sets the Actro 5D apart from roller-based economy runners: under repeated loading and cycling, ball bearings maintain their smooth feel and precise travel where nylon rollers can degrade over time.

Who Should Order This Runner

Cabinet shops running frameless production that need a reliable soft-close undermount at a defined capacity and length will find the Actro 5D straightforward to spec and stock. Designers sourcing for a premium residential project get the concealed look and quiet close their clients expect. Contractors replacing a drawer runner in an existing Actro 5D installation should confirm the series before ordering — Hettich runner brackets, locking devices, and clips are version-specific and do not interchange with other undermount brands or series. This runner is for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides built to the Hettich specification for the Actro series, including the correct rear notch and locking-device drilling.
