Full-Extension Soft-Close Undermount Slide for Frameless Cabinet Work

The Hettich Actro YOU is a 450mm concealed undermount drawer slide with integrated soft-close, full extension, and a ball-bearing carriage — engineered for frameless cabinets and drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides. This listing is the right-hand member, sold as a single.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face, putting every inch of the box within reach.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it silently without slamming.
• Ball-bearing carriage delivers smooth, consistent travel under load across years of daily use.
• 40 kg (88 lb) capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen and utility drawers comfortably.
• Right-hand single sold in bulk — pairs with the matching left-hand Actro YOU member to complete one drawer installation.
• Steel construction with zinc finish provides lasting corrosion resistance for indoor cabinetry.

Where This Slide Fits

The Actro YOU mounts in frameless (European-style) cabinets, fastening directly to the flat cabinet side panel. At 450mm, it suits drawers in base and upper cabinets where a concealed runner and a quiet, controlled close matter — kitchen drawers carrying spices, utensils, or dry goods, bath vanity drawers, and furniture pieces built on a frameless box. The full-extension travel means the back of the drawer comes all the way out, so nothing gets buried at the rear of the box. For production shops running metric-dimensioned frameless lines, the Actro YOU integrates into the Hettich system without adapting to an inch-based layout.

Build and Finish

Steel members with a zinc finish give the slide its durability through everyday indoor service. The ball-bearing carriage distinguishes the Actro YOU from roller-based economy undermounts: hardened steel balls in retainers run in formed raceways, maintaining smooth, rattle-free travel even as drawer weight approaches the rated load. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box and stays fully concealed when the drawer is open, the zinc finish is a functional coating rather than a decorative one — it protects the steel and stays out of sight.

Who Orders This Slide

Cabinet shops running frameless production with metric slide lengths reach for the Actro YOU when they need a reliable, quiet undermount at a sensible price point — one that pairs ball-bearing smoothness with integrated soft-close without stepping up to the full Quadro premium tier. Designers specifying handle-less or minimalist interiors value the concealed installation. Contractors and serious DIYers finishing a frameless renovation project find the same benefits: nothing visible under the drawer, a controlled close, and a slide that fits the 450mm metric standard without cutting down a longer slide.

The Right Concealed Slide for a Frameless Build

Match the Actro YOU to a drawer box built to Hettich's spec, pair this right-hand member with its left-hand counterpart, and add the series locking devices your installation requires — the result is a quietly closing, fully concealed drawer that performs across years of daily use.
