Hettich Actro 5D 600 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 88 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Left Hand, Zinc, 9268682

600mm Undermount Drawer Slide For Deep Frameless Cabinet Drawers

This is the left-hand runner from Hettich's Actro 5D undermount system in the 600mm length — a concealed, full-extension slide with integrated soft-close and ball-bearing travel, rated 88 lb per pair, built for frameless cabinets with drawer sides between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch (12.7 to 16mm) thick.

Key Features

• 600mm nominal length suits deep base and pantry drawers in frameless cabinetry without a custom fit.
• 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 silently, with no add-on damper required.
• Ball-bearing carriage runs smoothly under load and stays precise through years of daily cycles.
• 88 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with room to spare.
• Left-hand orientation — this is one runner of a working pair; the matching right-hand runner must be ordered separately.

Where the 600mm Length Earns Its Keep

Most undermount programs top out at 21 or 22 inches (roughly 550mm), leaving deep European-format drawers without a direct match. The 600mm Actro 5D runner is sized for exactly that situation: pantry-depth base cabinets, full-depth utility drawers, and 24-inch-depth frameless carcasses where a shorter slide would either fall short of the box specification or require the drawer box to be trimmed. If your shop runs 600mm drawer boxes as a standard, this runner drops straight into the line-bored panel without compromise. It also suits commercial and institutional frameless casework where deeper drawer travel is specified and 88 lb capacity per pair covers real working loads.

Construction and Finish

The Actro 5D runner is built from steel with a zinc finish — the standard for concealed undermount runners that live out of sight beneath the drawer box. Ball bearings in the carriage deliver the smooth, even pull that distinguishes the Actro 5D from roller-based runners under equivalent loads. The integrated soft-close mechanism is part of the runner body, not an add-on, so there are no extra clips or separate damper cartridges to source. Because this runner mounts beneath the box in a frameless cabinet, the zinc finish is functional rather than visible.

Who Should Specify This Runner

Cabinet shops running European-format frameless carcasses at 600mm depth are the primary audience. The Actro 5D suits production environments where post-install front adjustment speeds up the line — the 5D designation indicates multi-directional adjustment through the front locking devices, though the adjustment range should be confirmed against the Hettich installation guide for the specific locking device chosen. Designers specifying deep storage drawers in residential or commercial kitchens, and contractors installing frameless cabinetry with 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides, will find this runner covers the length without asking them to reconfigure the box. This is a frameless-only runner; face-frame installations require a different configuration.

The Right Runner for Depth-Critical Frameless Work

When the drawer box is 600mm deep and the cabinet is frameless, this Actro 5D runner matches the length, the construction type, and the capacity without asking you to redesign around a shorter standard size — pair it with its right-hand mate and the appropriate Hettich locking devices, and the drawer is ready to hang.
