Zinc Ball-Bearing Undermount Slide For Frameless Cabinet Drawers

The Hettich Quadro V6 450mm left-hand undermount slide is a concealed, full-extension runner built for frameless cabinets, running on ball bearings with integrated soft-close and a 90 lb per-pair rating. This is the left-hand member only, sized for drawer sides from 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face, giving complete access to the back of the drawer.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently on every cycle.
• Ball-bearing carriage provides smooth, precise travel under load across the full 450mm nominal length.
• 90 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with confidence.
• Zinc-finished steel construction delivers lasting indoor durability in a finish that stays out of sight beneath the box.
• Left-hand orientation is clearly marked — pair with the matching right-hand slide to complete one working set.

Where This Slide Does Its Best Work

This slide is engineered for frameless cabinetry, where the runner mounts directly to the flat interior panel without a face frame in the way. That makes it a natural fit for production shops building European-style kitchen and bath cabinets, as well as custom shops installing concealed drawer hardware in furniture-grade casework. At 450mm nominal length and a minimum installation depth of 18-11/16 inches, the slide suits standard base cabinet drawers where the box runs front-to-back at that nominal size. The 90 lb per-pair rating covers everything from a moderately loaded utensil drawer to a heavier pantry pull-out, and the full-extension travel means nothing stays buried at the back.

Build and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give the Quadro V6 the corrosion resistance it needs for years of indoor service. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box and stays concealed when the drawer is open, the zinc finish is a functional choice rather than a decorative one — it protects the steel without adding visual bulk. The ball-bearing carriage is the feature that sets the Quadro V6 apart from roller-based economy slides: ball bearings maintain smooth, consistent travel even as drawer contents shift and the load changes over the full range of motion.

Who Should Order This Slide

Cabinet shops that run frameless production lines and need a reliable, soft-close undermount will find the Quadro V6 a dependable fit at the 450mm length. It is also a sound choice for finish carpenters and woodworkers specifying hardware for a single custom piece — the integrated soft-close is already built in, so there is nothing extra to order for that feature. Designers specifying concealed hardware for handle-less fronts can pair this slide with a push-to-open locking device, though the slide itself is the soft-close model and the motion technology is not a combined unit. This is strictly an indoor slide, suited to the dry conditions of residential and light commercial casework.

The Right Runner for a Clean, Concealed Install

When frameless casework calls for full-extension soft-close and nothing showing beneath the box, the Quadro V6 delivers — match your right-hand slide, build the box to spec, and the drawer runs smoothly from day one.
