Hettich 24" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides KA 4620 Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 9019960

Hettich 24 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Hettich 24 inch over travel drawer slides are KA 4620 Series, side mount, ball bearing runners designed to move drawers smoothly and freely under load. The 24 inch length, or 600mm, suits mid-sized drawers where full and extra access to contents is required during use. The over extension runner carries the drawer beyond the cabinet front, which clears the sides for easier reach into the back of the drawer on the job. Dimensions of 58mm x 19mm x 600mm (H x W x L) define the slide envelope, helping plan cabinet clearances and drawer construction. The unhanded configuration allows the same slide to work on either side of the drawer, which simplifies layout and stocking for repeat projects. The side mount design supports typical cabinet construction methods where the runner fixes directly to cabinet sides.

Key KA 4620 Slide Details That Aid Work

• Over extension runner with pull-out stop and roll-out prevention lets the drawer travel past the front while stopping at a defined point, which supports access while helping keep the drawer in place during frequent operation.
• A release catch for quickly separating the drawer from the cabinet body allows the runner member to disengage, which speeds installation, fitting, and later removal for adjustments or service.
• Precision control for moving smoothly and freely and high lateral stability keeps motion consistent along the length of travel, which supports accurate drawer alignment and reduces racking during everyday use.
• Design for drawers with grooved, rebated or flush fitted drawer bottom panel matches common drawer construction styles, which helps integrate the slide into existing shop methods without changing the basic box design.
• Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 1 defines the performance rating, which sets expectations for everyday drawer loading in line with this standard during typical residential or light commercial use.

Side Mount KA 4620 Installation-Focused Details

The KA 4620 Series slide is specified as a side mount runner, so it aligns alongside the drawer box rather than underneath. The 58mm height and 19mm width give sizing that affects the space between cabinet sides and the drawer, guiding planning for side clearances. The release catch allows the drawer to be separated from the cabinet body after mounting, which supports step-by-step installation where the cabinet and drawer are worked on independently before final engagement. The over extension runner with pull-out stop and roll-out prevention works as part of the installed assembly, helping control the end of travel once the slides are fixed to the cabinet sides and drawer members.

Using KA 4620 Slides In Cabinet Projects

Where KA 4620 Drawer Slides Are Applied

The Hettich 24 inch over travel standard ball bearing drawer slides KA 4620 Series are side mount components used in cabinetry where smooth movement and defined access are needed. Their design for drawers with grooved, rebated or flush fitted drawer bottom panel aligns with common cabinet shop drawer box construction, so they integrate into projects that already use these bottom styles. The over extension runner lets the drawer move beyond the cabinet front during operation, which helps in applications where reaching to the back of the drawer is important, such as deeper storage drawers in kitchens, work areas, or utility cabinets. The unhanded configuration means a single slide type fits both left and right sides, which supports using the same part throughout a run of drawers.

Details That Support Consistent Drawer Performance

Precision control for moving smoothly and freely and high lateral stability work together to keep the drawer running straight along the slide path, which helps maintain alignment between the drawer front and cabinet face during repeated openings. This smooth motion can assist with fine-fitting fronts because the drawer does not bind as it approaches the closed position. The load capacity to EN 15338, Level 1 provides a defined performance benchmark, which indicates the slide is engineered to carry everyday drawer loads within that level during standard use cycles. The galvanised steel, blue passivated construction offers a treated metal runner, which supports the slide body under normal cabinet environmental conditions where metal protection is beneficial. Dimensions of 58mm x 19mm x 600mm (H x W x L) give predictable geometry, which aids consistent layout across multiple cabinets when repeating the same drawer size.
