The Hettich KA 5632 is a 22 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with an integrated soft-close damper, rated 90 lb per pair. It brings damped, controlled closing to standard kitchen, bath, and utility cabinet drawers without requiring a concealed undermount installation.
A 22 inch slide length fits the depth of most standard base cabinet drawers, and full extension means the back of the drawer comes all the way out to the face of the cabinet. That matters in a kitchen drawer packed with utensils or a bathroom vanity where items slide to the rear. The soft-close damper takes over in the last inch of travel, regardless of how firmly the drawer is pushed, so the cabinet stays quiet through a busy day. This is a practical upgrade over a plain ball bearing slide when the drawer is used frequently and slam noise is a concern.
The slide is built from steel members with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is the working standard for indoor side-mount ball bearing slides: it resists the humidity and light wear typical of kitchen and bath environments without adding cost. The slide is not a decorative finish piece — it sits beside the drawer box and is partially visible when the drawer is open. The zinc finish is appropriate for interior cabinetry. This slide is for indoor applications only.
Cabinet shops and installers reaching for a soft-close side-mount slide at the 22 inch length will find the KA 5632 a straightforward fit for residential kitchen base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and office furniture drawers. The 90 lb per pair rating covers typical residential drawer loads, and the non-handed design keeps inventory simple when running a production batch. Homeowners replacing worn slides in an existing cabinet can use it as a direct swap for any 22 inch side-mount ball bearing slide with 1/2 inch side clearance. The standard 1/2 inch clearance per side means the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening — no special sizing required.
No — 22 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is a full-extension slide, the drawer travels approximately its full length, bringing the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face. Slide length and travel are separate specs.
An integrated damper module in the slide catches the drawer in the last portion of its closing travel and slows it to a controlled, quiet stop. This is true soft-close with a damper, not a self-closing spring ramp. The drawer does not pull itself shut — it simply closes without slamming once pushed near closed.
No. The KA 5632 is non-handed, so both slides in the pair are the same part. Order one pair per drawer.
Side-mount slides need rear support in face-frame construction because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Rear mounting brackets are required for face-frame installs and are sold separately. Confirm bracket compatibility with the KA 5632 series before ordering.
The rating is 90 lb per pair — both slides together. Do not double this number by counting each slide separately.
The Hettich KA 5632 delivers full extension and damped soft-close closing in the standard 22 inch side-mount format, at a load rating that covers everyday residential and light commercial drawer work. Order a pair per drawer and move the project forward.
