Hettich KA4620 12" Side Mount Over-Travel 200 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 9019954

200 lb Over-Travel Drawer Slide Built for Tight Spaces and Heavy Loads

The Hettich KA 4620 is a 12 inch (300mm) side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 200 lb, with 1-1/2 inches of over-travel that carries the drawer past full extension. Where a standard slide stops at the cabinet face, this one keeps going — clearing countertop overhangs, deep face frames, and any obstruction that puts the back of a short, heavy drawer out of reach.

Key Features

• 200 lb weight capacity — delivers twice the load class of a standard 100 lb cabinet slide for genuinely heavy short drawers.
• 1-1/2 inch over-travel — the drawer member travels 1-1/2 inches past full extension, bringing drawer contents past the cabinet face and any overhang.
• 12 inch (300mm) nominal length — sized for compact drawers in base cabinets, shop carts, and under-worktop applications where depth is limited.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways — smooth, consistent travel under heavy load throughout the slide's full range of motion.
• Non-handed design — the same slide fits both the left and right side of the drawer, simplifying ordering and reducing bench sorting time.
• Zinc finish — corrosion-resistant protection suited to indoor environments.

Where Short Over-Travel Earns Its Keep

A 12 inch slide is the right choice when cabinet depth is limited — under a countertop with a deep overhang, in a shop cart where space is at a premium, or in a base cabinet fitted with a thick face frame. In those installations, a plain full-extension slide opens the drawer to the cabinet face and stops there. The KA 4620's 1-1/2 inches of over-travel push the drawer body past that stopping point, so the contents in a short, loaded drawer are reachable without digging. The 200 lb capacity means this slide handles the weight of tools, hardware stock, or dense archived materials that would overwork a standard cabinet slide.

Steel Construction With a Zinc Finish

The KA 4620 is built from steel with a zinc finish — the standard corrosion-resistant treatment for side-mount ball bearing slides used indoors. Zinc protects the steel members through years of service in a shop, office, or cabinet environment. This is a functional, workmanlike finish on a slide that sits beside the drawer box and is mostly out of sight when the drawer is closed. It is not a stainless or decorative finish, and it is not rated for wet or washdown environments.

Who Should Specify This Slide

The KA 4620 in 12 inches is the right specification when two conditions meet: the drawer is short and the load is heavy. Cabinet shops building tool storage, shop carts, or compact base drawers that carry dense contents will find the 200 lb rating provides real margin over the 100 lb standard class. Designers and contractors fitting drawers under worktop overhangs or behind deep face frames will value the over-travel for access. Because the slide is non-handed, one SKU covers both sides of every drawer — no left/right pair to manage at the point of order.

Common Questions

A Short Slide That Reaches Further

When the drawer is compact, the load is real, and the opening leaves no room for a standard slide to do its job, the KA 4620 in 12 inches gives you the capacity and the reach to get the work done.
