Left-Hand Undermount Slide Built for Deep, Heavy Drawers

The Hettich Actro YOU is a full-extension, soft-close undermount drawer slide engineered for frameless cabinets. This left-hand cabinet member, rated at 70 kg (154 lb) per pair, is designed for 650mm drawer boxes with sides between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch thick. It disappears beneath the drawer box so the interior view stays clean, and its ball-bearing mechanism delivers a smooth, controlled pull on deeply loaded drawers.

Key Features

• Full extension brings the entire 650mm drawer out to the cabinet face, making the back of the box fully reachable.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut silently without slamming.
• 70 kg (154 lb) per pair load rating handles heavily stocked kitchen or utility drawers with confidence.
• Ball-bearing mechanism rolls smoothly under load across the full travel of the slide.
• Left-hand orientation — pair with the matching right-hand member to complete a single drawer installation.
• Zinc-finished steel construction suited to dry, indoor cabinetry environments.

Where This Slide Earns Its Keep

A 650mm slide pairs with a 650mm nominal drawer box — the kind of deep drawer found in tall pantry cabinets, wide kitchen base units, and built-in wardrobe carcasses where the contents at the back need to be as reachable as those at the front. Full extension means the drawer clears the cabinet opening completely, so nothing hides behind the face frame. At 70 kg per pair, the rating covers demanding loads: stacked pots, full spice libraries, folded linens, or filing. For cabinet shops running frameless construction, the Actro YOU mounts directly to the flat interior side panel without rear brackets, making for a clean, efficient install on the 32mm system.

Construction and Finish

The slide body is steel with a zinc finish — functional and corrosion-resistant for the indoor environments where frameless cabinetry lives. Ball bearings in full-length raceways carry the load evenly and keep the pull consistent from the first cycle to the thousandth. The integrated soft-close damper is built into the slide rather than added on, so the closing behavior is calibrated to the slide's travel and load class. Drawer side thickness compatibility runs from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch — confirm your drawer box spec before ordering, because the fit is engineered, not adjustable across that range.

Who This Is For

Cabinet shops outfitting frameless kitchens and built-ins will find the Actro YOU a reliable production choice at this length and load class. The 650mm size suits European-standard deep cabinets where 500mm or 550mm slides come up short. Designers specifying handle-less or push-to-open kitchens should note that Hettich offers compatible push-to-open components for the Actro YOU program — confirm series match before adding motion hardware. Homeowners replacing worn slides on a deep frameless cabinet can use this slide provided the drawer box was built to 650mm nominal and the sides are within the 1/2 to 5/8 inch thickness range.

A Deep-Draw Slide That Does Not Ask You to Compromise

Full extension, serious load capacity, and an integrated soft-close in a single left-hand member — the Actro YOU 650mm is the straightforward choice when the drawer runs deep and the load runs heavy.
