Hettich Quadro V6 Undermount Slide for Shallow Frameless Drawers

The Hettich Quadro V6 280mm right-hand undermount drawer slide brings full-extension travel and integrated soft-close to compact frameless cabinet drawers. At an 11-inch nominal length designed for 280mm drawer boxes, this ball-bearing slide is the right-hand cabinet member of a complete Quadro V6 pair, and it suits drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, putting the back of the box within reach.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• Ball-bearing construction delivers smooth, consistent motion under loads up to 90 lb per pair.
• Right-hand orientation makes this the cabinet member for the right side of the drawer opening; pair it with the matching left-hand member to complete the installation.
• Broad drawer side compatibility accepts sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick, covering both common drawer box thicknesses.
• Zinc finish protects the steel against corrosion through years of indoor use.

Where This Slide Fits the Job

At 280mm (11 inches nominal), this slide targets the shorter end of the undermount range: spice drawers, shallow upper-cabinet pull-outs, bathroom vanity drawers, and compact base drawers where a longer slide simply will not fit. The 12-inch minimum installation depth means this slide can seat in cabinets that standard 18- or 21-inch slides cannot reach. Frameless construction is the assumed cabinet type, so the slide mounts directly to the flat interior side panel without rear brackets. If the project calls for face-frame cabinets, this model is not the right fit.

Build and Finish

The Quadro V6 runs on steel ball bearings enclosed in a formed steel body, finished in zinc. The zinc plating keeps the slide serviceable in the dry, climate-controlled environments typical of residential and light commercial cabinetry. The soft-close mechanism is built into the slide rather than added on, so there is no retrofit step and no separate damper to source. Drawer side thickness is flexible within the 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch range, which means the slide works with both standard 1/2-inch Baltic birch box stock and the more common 5/8-inch melamine-wrapped drawer sides used in production cabinetry.

Who Orders This Slide

Cabinet shops building compact frameless boxes in volume reach for this length when the drawer depth calls for an 11-inch slide and the project spec requires soft-close. Kitchen and bath designers specifying shallow vanity or spice-pull drawers will find this slide handles the length constraint without giving up full extension or damped closing. Installers replacing worn undermount slides in existing frameless cabinetry can use this member as the right-side replacement, provided the drawer box was built to the Quadro V6 specification. For anyone building or restoring a short-drawer installation where soft-close and full access both matter, this slide covers both requirements in one unit.

The Right Slide for a Short Drawer Done Right

When the drawer is compact but the spec still calls for full extension and soft-close, the Quadro V6 280mm right-hand member delivers both without compromise — pick up the matching left-hand member and the series-matched locking devices to complete the drawer.
