Hettich ActroYOU Front Locking Device, Left Hand, Anthracite, 9257263

Anthracite Finish and Actro YOU Compatibility

The Actro YOU Left Locking Device is the handed front clip that secures a drawer box onto Hettich's Actro YOU undermount slide system. This is the left-hand version, finished in Anthracite, for installations where the hardware at the drawer front will remain visible or partially visible and a dark, coordinated tone matters.

Key Features

• Actro YOU system-specific fit — engineered exclusively for the Actro YOU undermount slide series and not interchangeable with other Hettich runner families.
• Left-hand orientation — this is the left-hand member; pair it with the right-hand version to complete a front fixing set for one drawer.
• Anthracite finish — a dark, near-matte tone in zinc construction that reads as a deliberate detail rather than a hidden fastener in exposed-hardware installs.
• 3mm height adjustment — the clip provides up to 3mm of height correction after the drawer is hung, letting you true the front without removing the box.
• Zinc construction — durable material that holds adjustment and resists wear through years of daily opening cycles.

Where This Clip Earns Its Place

Locking devices on undermount slides do two jobs: they lock the drawer box onto the runners and they let you fine-tune the front alignment after installation. In most kitchen and bath builds, these clips are hidden behind the drawer front and finish is irrelevant. The Anthracite version matters in two specific situations: open-frame or handle-less designs where the clip edge is visible at the front gap, and shops or designers who specify matching hardware throughout a build so that every exposed metal detail reads the same dark tone. If your drawer front fully conceals the fixing hardware, any finish in this series works equally well and the choice comes down to what is in stock.

Material and Finish Details

The clip is zinc, which gives it the dimensional stability and thread-holding strength needed for a component that takes the full lateral force of opening and the weight correction load of height adjustment. The Anthracite finish is applied to coordinate with dark cabinet interiors, Anthracite drawer system components, and hardware suites specified in that tone. Use it alongside other Actro YOU Anthracite components for a consistent look across the pull-out system.

Matching It to Your Project

Actro YOU locking devices are for Actro YOU undermount slides only — do not substitute them into other Hettich runner series or cross-brand systems. This left-hand device pairs with the corresponding right-hand locking device to make a complete front fixing set for one drawer. If you are outfitting a run of cabinets, order one left-hand and one right-hand clip per drawer opening. The 3mm height adjustment handles normal installation tolerance, but it is not a substitute for accurate drawer box construction; build the box to the Actro YOU specification before relying on clip adjustment to finish the fit.

The Right Clip Keeps the Front True

A front locking device is a small part with a direct effect on how every drawer in a cabinet looks at the close. Getting the handed orientation, the system match, and the finish right from the first order keeps the install moving without a second shipment.
