The Blum 562H TANDEM PLUS is a 12 inch full-extension undermount drawer slide built for face-frame cabinets where interior depth is limited. It mounts concealed beneath the drawer box, keeping hardware out of sight when the drawer is open.
At 12 inches, this is the right slide for the shallowest drawers in a cabinet run: spice drawers, pencil drawers, narrow base rollouts, and vanity drawers in tight bath cabinets. Face-frame construction is where this model belongs, whether that is a traditional kitchen with a painted hardwood frame or a built-in with inset fronts. Because the slide delivers full extension, even a shallow 12 inch drawer gives up nothing at the back — the contents come all the way out to the opening. For face-frame work specifically, the 562H series provides the correct geometry to seat behind the frame with its matching rear mounting brackets (sold separately, series-specific to the 562H).
The 562H runs on a roller-bearing carriage inside a formed steel housing with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is the standard protective finish for this class of slide: functional, corrosion-resistant in dry indoor environments, and unobtrusive under a drawer box where the finish is never decorative. The steel members hold their geometry under repeated loading, and the roller carriage maintains smooth travel without the maintenance that wooden runners require.
Cabinet shops building traditional face-frame kitchens reach for the 562H when a run includes short drawers alongside standard-depth ones — ordering within a consistent Blum TANDEM PLUS family keeps hardware compatible and installation procedures uniform. Designers specifying built-ins with shallow display drawers or bedroom furniture with inset fronts will find the 12 inch length covers the cases that longer slides cannot. Homeowners replacing worn or broken slides in an existing face-frame cabinet can match this slide to a box built to the Blum specification for the 562H series, including the correct side thickness, box width, rear notch, and locking-device drilling.
The 562H is the face-frame version of the TANDEM PLUS line. For frameless cabinets, Blum offers a separate frameless-configured model in the same family.
The side thickness compatibility for this specific 562H model is not confirmed in the available product data. The related 563H series is engineered for 1/2 to 5/8 inch (12.7 to 16mm) drawer sides; verify the 562H specification against Blum's published installation guide before building or ordering drawer boxes.
Rear mounting brackets are required for face-frame installation and are sold separately. Use only the series-specific brackets for the 562H; brackets from other Blum series are not interchangeable.
Front locking devices are not confirmed as included with this SKU. They are series-specific accessories for the TANDEM PLUS line and should be ordered separately if not already on hand.
The 562H TANDEM PLUS is a full-extension slide without integrated soft-close. If damped, silent closing is a requirement, look to the Blum 563H TANDEM plus BLUMOTION series, which adds integrated soft-close to a comparable full-extension undermount.
The 12 inch 562H TANDEM PLUS gives face-frame cabinets a clean, fully concealed slide with full-extension travel — the right foundation for shallow drawers that still need to work hard.
