11 Inch Undermount Slide for Compact Frameless Drawers

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

Key Features

• 280mm (11 inch) nominal length targets shallow base drawers, compact bath vanities, and small-cabinet applications where longer slides won't fit.
• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face, giving complete access to contents.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• Ball bearing carriage delivers smooth, consistent travel under load across the full length of the drawer's cycle.
• 90 lb capacity per pair handles loaded compact drawers well within the typical range for this size class.
• Left-hand orientation — this is a single member; pair it with the matching right-hand Quadro V6 slide of the same length to make one working set.

Where the 280mm Length Gets Used

The 280mm nominal length fills a specific gap in undermount slide selection. Small bathroom vanities, narrow base cabinets with shallow interiors, nightstand drawers, and compact utility cabinets often can't accept the 350mm or 450mm slides that dominate residential kitchen work. At a 12 inch minimum installation depth, this runner fits cabinets where the interior depth is too tight for the next size up. It's also a practical choice for accessory trays and small-format drawer boxes in larger cabinet runs, where the box is deliberately short to leave space behind for plumbing or mechanical clearance.

Construction and Finish

The Quadro V6 runner is steel with a zinc finish — a functional indoor coating that protects the slide through years of regular use. Ball bearings running in formed steel raceways give this runner a noticeably different feel from nylon-roller undermounts: travel is precise and consistent from the first pull to the ten-thousandth. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box and stays hidden in use, the zinc finish serves a protective role rather than a decorative one. Build the drawer box for 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides and to Hettich's published specification for the Quadro V6 series, including the correct rear notch and the drilling required for Quadro-specific front locking devices.

Who This Slide Is For

Cabinet shops producing custom vanities and compact furniture pieces will find the 280mm length a reliable stock item for shallow drawer applications. Installers working in tight residential baths or building out narrow pull-out trays will appreciate having the right short-length option in a premium undermount family. This SKU is sized for frameless cabinet construction, mounting directly to the cabinet side panel — it is not configured for face-frame work. The left-hand member serves the left side of the drawer as installed; both the left-hand and right-hand members must come from the same Quadro V6 series and the same nominal length to function as a matched pair.

The Right Slide for a Smaller Drawer

When the cabinet is compact and the drawer is short, the 280mm Quadro V6 left-hand runner delivers the same full-extension, soft-close performance as the longer members in the series — scaled to fit where they can't.
