Zinc Ball-Bearing Undermount Slide For Frameless Cabinetry

This is the left-hand member of Hettich's Quadro V6 undermount runner in the 280mm (11 inch) nominal length — a concealed, full-extension slide with integrated soft-close, ball-bearing travel, and a 90 lb per-pair capacity, made for frameless cabinets with drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Left-hand single: This is the left-hand cabinet runner only — pair it with the matching right-hand Quadro V6 slide to complete one working drawer installation.
• Full extension: The drawer box travels the full nominal length, bringing the entire contents out to the cabinet face for unrestricted access.
• Integrated soft-close: A built-in damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly without slamming.
• Ball-bearing carriage: Steel ball bearings run in formed raceways for a smooth, precise pull that holds up under repeated daily use.
• 90 lb weight capacity per pair: Sized to handle loaded kitchen and bath drawers without strain.
• Frameless cabinet fit: Designed for direct side-panel mounting in European-style, frameless construction on the 32mm grid.

Where This Slide Works

The 280mm nominal length — 11 inches closed, with a 12 inch minimum installation depth — targets compact and mid-depth drawers in frameless base cabinets and lower cabinet runs. Think spice pull-outs, shallow utensil drawers, and small accessory drawers in a frameless kitchen or bath layout where space is tight but a clean, hardware-free look still matters. Because this is an undermount runner, the slide stays hidden beneath the drawer box; nothing metal shows inside the cabinet when the drawer is open. At 90 lb per pair, the slide comfortably handles loaded cutlery drawers or a dense row of small kitchen tools.

Construction and Finish

The Quadro V6 runner is built from steel with a zinc finish — a functional, corrosion-resistant coating that holds up through years of indoor use without adding visible bulk. Ball bearings rather than nylon rollers carry the load, giving the slide a tighter, more controlled feel through the full travel arc. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the runner body, so there are no add-on dampers to source or fit separately. For drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch (12.7 to 16mm) thick, the Quadro V6 is the correct thickness version; shops building from 3/4 inch material need the corresponding 19mm model instead.

Who Orders This Runner

Production cabinet shops running frameless lines are the natural fit here. The Quadro V6 bulk single format — left-hand and right-hand stocked separately — suits shops that pull from case stock rather than buying paired retail sets. Designers specifying a concealed slide with soft-close for a frameless European-style project will find the 280mm length useful for shallow drawer stacks. Installers sourcing a replacement runner for an existing Quadro V6 installation can match the length and hand without disturbing the rest of the drawer setup, since Quadro V6 brackets and clips are version-specific and not shared with other Hettich runner families.
