Ball Bearing Precision And a Frameless-Ready Fit in 500mm

This is the left-hand runner of the Hettich Quadro V6 500mm undermount slide system — a full-extension, soft-close concealed slide built on ball bearings, rated 90 lb per pair, and sized for frameless cabinets with 1/2 to 5/8 inch drawer sides.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer box out to the cabinet face, putting the back of every 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 smooth, controlled pull under load that roller-only systems cannot match at this travel length.
• 90 lb capacity per pair covers loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with margin to spare.
• Left-hand orientation pairs with the matching right-hand runner to make one complete, working set.
• Steel construction with zinc finish holds up through years of daily indoor cycling.

Where the 500mm Length Fits the Job

At 500mm nominal length (19-11/16 inches closed), this slide suits cabinet runs designed around deep base drawers — think full-depth kitchen pots-and-pans drawers, wide utility pulls, and bath vanity drawers where a standard 18-inch slide leaves a gap between the box rear and the slide end. The 500mm length calls for a minimum installation depth of 20-11/16 inches, so confirm the cabinet interior clears that dimension before ordering. The Quadro V6 is engineered for frameless cabinet construction, mounting directly to the flat side panel without a face frame in the way.

Steel, Zinc, and Ball Bearings

The Quadro V6 runs on ball bearings rather than nylon rollers, which matters at the 500mm span: ball bearings distribute load more evenly across the travel length and maintain smooth action when the drawer is pulled to full extension under weight. The zinc finish on the steel members protects against indoor humidity and the daily wear of a working kitchen — it is a functional finish, hidden beneath the drawer box in use. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the runner body, so there are no add-on dampers to fit or replace separately.

Who Orders the Left-Hand Single

Production cabinet shops that stock Quadro V6 runners by the case buy lefts and rights as separate line items and pair them at the bench. If you are fitting a single drawer, you need one left-hand and one right-hand runner. If you are outfitting a full kitchen run, buying separate handed singles lets you maintain a clean inventory of each rather than unpacking pairs. Either way, two runners make one complete drawer installation — this SKU supplies one of those two.

One Runner, One Drawer Step Closer to Done

Match the right-hand runner, build the box to Hettich's spec, and the Quadro V6 delivers full-extension, soft-close performance in a frameless cabinet that will cycle quietly for years.
