Hettich Actro 5D 600 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 88 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Right Hand, Zinc, 9268683

Hettich Actro 5D Undermount Slide For Deep Drawer Installations

The Hettich Actro 5D is a ball-bearing, full-extension soft-close undermount drawer slide in the 600mm nominal length, sold here as the right-hand member for frameless cabinet construction. It carries drawers with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides and is rated 88 lb per pair.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire 600mm drawer out to the cabinet face, giving complete access to the back of the box.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without a slam.
• Ball-bearing carriage delivers smooth, precise travel under load across the full extension range.
• 5D adjustment allows fine-tuning of the drawer front in multiple directions after the drawer is hung, speeding up alignment on a run of boxes.
• Right-hand orientation means this is a single cabinet member — pair it with the matching left-hand slide to make one complete working set.
• Zinc-finished steel construction stands up to years of indoor cabinet service without corrosion.

Where the 600mm Length Works Best

At 600mm nominal, this slide suits the deeper drawer openings common in base cabinet kitchen runs, bath vanities with generous drawer stacks, and built-in storage where a standard 18 or 21 inch slide comes up short. The extra depth is especially useful in island and peninsula cabinets, where deeper boxes hold pots, pans, or linens without wasting the run. Because this is a full-extension design, the full interior of the box clears the cabinet face — nothing stays trapped behind the frame.

The frameless cabinet type means the slide mounts directly to the flat interior side panel, making it a natural fit for European-style production cabinetry and CNC-cut cabinet boxes on the 32mm grid. Build the drawer box to Hettich's published specification for the Actro 5D series, including the correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and locking-device drilling, and the installation proceeds without shimming or shimming.

Construction and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give the slide durable indoor corrosion resistance without adding visible hardware to the drawer interior. The ball-bearing carriage runs in full-length raceways, keeping travel smooth and rattle-free even when the drawer is loaded to its 88 lb per pair capacity. Because the slide is concealed beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish is functional rather than decorative — the look the finished cabinet presents is entirely wood and front hardware.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops running frameless European production lines will find the 600mm Actro 5D a direct fit for their deeper box programs, particularly where 5D front adjustment matters on long kitchen runs with uniform fronts. Designers specifying handle-less or minimal-hardware kitchens benefit from the concealed mount, while contractors and installers value the soft-close reliability for client-facing installs. The 88 lb per pair rating handles most residential drawer contents comfortably, including loaded utensil and pot-and-pan drawers. For heavier applications, consider stepping up to a higher-capacity undermount in the product line.
