Hettich Quadro V6 420mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Left hand Zinc - 9047747

Hettich Quadro V6 420mm Drawer Slide Performance

Hettich Quadro V6 420mm drawer slide is a soft-close, full extension undermount drawer runner that supports smooth travel for drawers in cabinet projects. The full extension design lets the drawer open its complete length, giving access to the full drawer depth in daily use. The undermount configuration hides the runner beneath the drawer, supporting a clean cabinet interior while still carrying the drawer weight. The integrated Silent System provides soft-close action, so drawers decelerate smoothly at the end of travel, which reduces impact on the cabinet and front panel during repeated openings. This runner is specified as left hand, so it forms one side of a handed undermount pair when assembling a drawer system. The 420mm length defines the nominal drawer depth it is designed to support, which helps align cabinet body depth and drawer box dimensions in planning.

Key Drawer Slide Details For Cabinet Projects

• The soft-close full extension undermount runner design combines complete drawer travel with concealed guidance underneath the drawer, which supports easy access while keeping hardware out of sight in finished cabinetry.
• Integrated Silent System uses the built-in mechanism described in the product data to slow the drawer near closing, which reduces slamming forces on the cabinet body, drawer front, and joints over repeated use.
• Slide on installation with latches allows the drawer to be attached to the runner using the stated slide-on method, which streamlines drawer mounting steps once cabinet and runner positions are prepared.
• Tool-less height adjustment is built into the runner system, allowing fine vertical changes to drawer position without tools, which helps align front gaps between adjacent drawers and doors during final fitting.
• Suitability for drawers with a side profile thickness of up to 16 mm defines the drawer side material envelope for this runner, so drawer construction can be planned around that thickness in panel selection.
• Galvanised steel construction means the runner components use the specified coated steel material, which supports resistance to normal indoor moisture and handling in typical woodworking and cabinet environments.

Slide On Installation And Height Adjustment Workflow

The slide on installation with latches allows the drawer box to engage the Hettich Quadro V6 420mm drawer slide by sliding it onto the undermount runner and locking it using the latch mechanism, which simplifies the physical mounting sequence. This approach supports repeatable installation when multiple identical drawers are built for a cabinet run. The tool-less height adjustment described in the product data lets the installer fine-tune vertical drawer position without reaching for tools, which speeds front alignment during cabinet set-up. The platform concept with identical cabinet body, drawer and front panel dimensions for Quadro partial and full extension runners means one cabinet drilling and drawer sizing scheme can serve multiple runner types, which helps keep fabrication consistent across different slide choices.

Using This Quadro V6 Runner In Cabinet Builds

Where This Undermount Drawer Slide Fits Best

The Hettich Quadro V6 420mm drawer slide belongs to the undermount drawer slides class, so it sits beneath the drawer and works with drawers having a side profile thickness of up to 16 mm, which directs material and construction choices for the drawer box. Its 420mm nominal length matches drawer depths in that range, which aligns with common cabinet body depths in many furniture and built-in applications. The platform concept, with identical cabinet body, drawer and front panel dimensions for Quadro partial and full extension runners for slide on installation, allows this runner to operate within a standardized cabinet layout, so projects using both partial and full extension Quadro variants can share the same carcass and front planning. The load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 ties the runner to a defined performance level in that standard, which indicates that it is designed to carry loads tested to that classification in normal drawer use.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Performance

The integrated Silent System in this undermount runner provides a controlled soft-close action at the end of travel, which limits shock on fastened joints and front panels over long-term operation. The full extension travel means the runner guides the drawer throughout the entire opening stroke, which keeps side clearance consistent and supports smooth running when properly aligned. The galvanised steel material gives the runner a protective zinc-based finish, which supports long-term function in typical indoor woodworking environments where drawers are opened and closed frequently. Optional references in the product data to a catch and plug for pull-out shelves and to a pull-out shelf locating catch show that this runner concept can interact with elements used for pull-out shelves, which is relevant when a project uses both drawers and pull-out shelf components based on similar hardware. The designated left hand orientation, combined with its undermount form, gives installers a clear role for this part within a handed runner pair, which aids in organizing parts during installation.
