Right-Hand Ball-Bearing Undermount Slide for Compact Frameless Drawers

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

Key Features

• Full-extension travel brings the entire drawer box to the cabinet face, putting every inch of the 280mm drawer within reach.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly without slamming.
• Ball-bearing carriage delivers a precise, smooth pull under load through the full length of travel.
• 90 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded compact drawers with margin to spare.
• Right-hand orientation — this is a single-member SKU; pair it with the matching left-hand slide to make one working set.
• Zinc-finished steel construction stands up to years of indoor use beneath the drawer box.

Where the 280mm Length Fits

The 280mm (11 inch) nominal length is the right choice for smaller-format frameless cabinetry: bathroom vanity drawers, shallow base cabinet drawers, nightstand pull-outs, and compact kitchen utility drawers where a longer slide simply will not fit the cabinet depth. The minimum installation depth is 12 inches, so any frameless cabinet with at least 12 inches of interior depth can accept this slide. Build the drawer box to Hettich's published specification for the Quadro V6 series — nominal 280mm length, correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and locking-device drilling — and the drawer seats precisely on the runners. This slide is made for frameless construction, where it mounts directly to the flat interior panel without rear brackets.

Construction and Finish

The Quadro V6 runs on steel ball bearings in formed steel raceways, which is why it feels different from a nylon-roller undermount: the pull is smooth and consistent from the first inch to full extension, even when the drawer carries weight. The zinc finish on the steel members protects against corrosion through years of indoor cabinet service. Because the slide is concealed beneath the box, the finish does its job out of sight — you will never see it once the drawer is installed.

Who Should Specify This Slide

Cabinet shops building frameless vanities, bath towers, or compact kitchen runs with 1/2 to 5/8 inch dovetailed or doweled drawer boxes will find this the right undermount for tighter cabinet depths. Designers specifying handle-less or low-profile interiors get the concealed look without sacrificing the smooth, load-bearing travel that ball bearings provide. At 90 lb per pair, the capacity covers most residential drawer loads at this length. If the project calls for face-frame construction, a dedicated face-frame version of the Quadro line is the correct choice for that cabinet type — this SKU is frameless only.

The Right Concealed Slide for Compact, Frameless Builds

Match the right-hand slide with its left-hand counterpart, build the drawer box to the Quadro V6 specification, add the series locking devices, and you have a concealed, full-extension, soft-close runner that performs well beyond what its compact length might suggest.
