Hettich QuadroYOU 500 mm Soft-Close Full Extension 67 lb Undermount Drawer Slide, Right Hand, Zinc, 9256873

500mm Undermount Drawer Slide for Frameless Cabinets with Metric Sizing

This is the right-hand member of the Hettich Quadro YOU undermount system in the 500mm length — a full-extension, soft-close concealed runner on ball bearings, rated 67 lb per pair, made for frameless cabinets and drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides. Sold as a single right-hand slide; pair it with the matching left-hand Quadro YOU 500mm member to complete one drawer.

Key Features

• Right-hand single: this is one member of the pair — order the left-hand slide separately to make a working set for one drawer.
• 500mm nominal length: a metric-system slide suited to production frameless cabinetry on the European 32mm grid.
• Full extension: the drawer box travels the full 500mm length, putting the entire interior within reach.
• Integrated soft-close: the built-in damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without a slam.
• Ball-bearing carriage: steel ball bearings in full-length raceways deliver a smooth, controlled pull under load.
• 67 lb capacity per pair: sized for standard kitchen and bath drawers in residential and light-commercial production.

Where the 500mm Length Fits

The 500mm nominal length corresponds to the drawer depth that appears frequently in European frameless cabinetry — deep enough for a full-height base drawer or a pantry pull-out in a standard-depth kitchen cabinet. The slide mounts directly to the flat interior side of a frameless panel on the 32mm system grid, with no face frame to work around and no rear mounting bracket required. Build the drawer box to Hettich's published specification for the Quadro YOU series: nominal 500mm box length, correct width for the required side clearance, bottom recess, rear notch, and drilling for the Quadro YOU front locking devices. The locking devices attach under the drawer box front and are series-specific — they do not interchange with other Hettich lines or with other brands.

Construction and Finish

The slide is steel throughout with a zinc finish that protects the members through years of indoor service. Ball bearings run in formed steel raceways — a step up from nylon-roller Euro slides in load behavior and travel precision. Because the slide mounts beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish is a functional corrosion-resistance measure rather than a decorative one; it stays out of sight once the drawer is installed. The Quadro YOU series is Hettich's value-accessible metric undermount line, designed to hit a lower price point while delivering the full-extension travel and integrated soft-close that frameless production shops expect.

Who Orders This Slide

Production cabinet shops running European frameless casework on the 32mm grid are the primary buyers. The metric 500mm length slots into CNC workflows and boring templates without the inch-to-metric conversion that imperial slides require. Designers and custom shops specifying handle-less or hardware-minimal interiors also reach for this slide when the soft-close damper is a required specification and the concealed mount needs to disappear beneath the box. Because the slide sells as a handed single, shops typically stock left-hand and right-hand members in equal case quantities and pull them per drawer as production runs.

The Right Runner for the Right Drawer

Match the 500mm right-hand Quadro YOU to its left-hand counterpart, build the box to spec, and this concealed runner delivers full extension and soft-close in every frameless drawer on the job.
