Hettich Actro 5D 450mm Drawer Slide Performance

Hettich Actro 5D 450mm drawer slide is a full extension undermount runner designed for wooden drawers, so the hardware stays hidden while the drawer travels the entire length. The soft-close function controls closing, which helps drawers settle quietly in everyday use. Load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) define the system range, so this runner fits into a program that can handle everything from light drawers to heavier storage. An 88 lb load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 means the runner is tested for residential and similar applications requiring consistent performance. The undermount design supports clean cabinet interiors, which matters on higher-end builds where appearance and function both count. Galvanized steel construction resists normal shop and home humidity, supporting long-term use in typical woodworking environments.

Functional Details That Support Drawer Projects

• The full extension runner lets the wooden drawer open to its full depth, giving access to the entire drawer space on installations where reach into the back matters.
• The soft-close function slows the last part of travel, which reduces slamming and helps protect drawer fronts and cabinet cases during repeated daily use.
• The runner is designed to combine with wooden drawers, allowing fabricators to build custom boxes while using this undermount system for smooth motion.
• Load classes from 10 kg to 70 kg define its place in the Actro 5D range, supporting planning where drawers across a project share one slide family.
• The galvanized steel material provides a protective zinc finish, which supports durability in typical indoor cabinet environments subject to moisture changes.

Actro 5D Undermount Installation And Adjustment

This Actro 5D full extension runner uses an undermount layout for wooden drawers, so the runner sits beneath the drawer box and supports a clean side profile. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm allows vertical alignment of fronts after mounting, which helps when reveals need fine tuning. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets you shift the drawer left or right, bringing gaps between drawer fronts into line. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm provides front angle tuning, useful when correcting front-to-cabinet angles on taller drawer fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm allows depth fine-tuning, which supports consistent front setback across a stack. Together, these defined adjustments support precise fitting without dismantling the installed drawer.

Using This Left Hand Runner In Drawer Systems

Where The 450mm Left Hand Runner Fits

The Actro 5D runner with a 450mm length is suited to wooden drawers built around that nominal depth, supporting projects where full extension access to stored items is required. As a left hand runner, it serves on the left side of the drawer system, pairing with the corresponding right hand component from the same Actro 5D family. The 88 lb load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 places this runner within a performance class suitable for drawers that carry moderate to heavier everyday loads. When used in installations designed around Actro 5D, the defined load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) help designers assign the correct runner capacity across different drawer widths and storage roles.

Adjustment Features For Repeatable Drawer Results

The Actro 5D undermount drawer slide provides tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm, so installers can raise fronts slightly to align with adjacent fronts after the cabinet is assembled. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm lets you shift the drawer sideways inside the opening, which helps keep vertical gaps even across a bank of drawers. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm gives control over the vertical angle of the drawer front, useful when tall fronts need the top edge brought in line with doors or neighboring fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm sets the front-to-back fine position, helping to maintain consistent setback from the cabinet face. Together, these adjustments support a repeatable fit and finish when multiple drawers share the same cabinet run.
