Hettich 10" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides KA 4932 Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 1071901

Hettich 10 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides For Cabinets

Hettich 10 inch over travel drawer slides use a ball bearing design to support smooth drawer motion, which helps drawers open and close in a controlled way on side-mount installations. The KA 4932 series over travel function projects the drawer past the cabinet face, which opens up access to the back of the drawer for easier loading and unloading in tight cabinets. An unhanded configuration means the same slide design works on either side, which simplifies layout and reduces part variation during installation. The zinc finish covers the steel slide members, which helps the hardware blend with common cabinet components in shops and job sites. A positive in and out stop feature controls travel limits, which helps protect the slide from over-extension during regular use. The built-in detent in feature holds the drawer in the closed position, which helps drawers stay shut until pulled by the user.

Key Hettich KA 4932 Details For Real-World Use

• The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch sets the running gap between drawer and cabinet, which guides drawer box sizing so the ball bearing members track correctly without binding during movement.
• The slide height of 2-9/32 inches defines the vertical space occupied on the drawer side, which helps installers plan drawer box height and reveals so the slide fits without interfering with adjacent components.
• The 32 mm pattern mounting holes, with the first hole setback at 37 mm, match common system drilling, which speeds layout on case sides and allows repeatable installation across multiple cabinet runs.
• The drawer member trigger disconnect allows the drawer member to separate from the cabinet member, which simplifies installing or removing the drawer during fitting, adjustment, or service work.
• The cushioned action feature moderates travel at the ends of stroke, which reduces harsh impacts at the stops and supports smoother-feeling operation over repeated openings and closings.

Side Mount Ball Bearing Drawer Slide Installation Focus

This side mount ball bearing drawer slide uses a unhanded layout, which lets installers mount the same part on left and right sides without tracking separate versions during a job. The 32 mm pattern hole spacing with a 37 mm first-hole setback aligns with system-drilled cabinet sides, which helps jigs and line-boring equipment place mounting screws consistently along the slide. The specified 1/2 inch side clearance defines the gap required between drawer and cabinet, which guides drawer box construction so the ball bearings roll smoothly. A slide height of 2-9/32 inches sets the vertical location on the drawer side, which helps coordinate slide placement with drawer bottom position and face reveals. The drawer member trigger disconnect separates the drawer member from the cabinet member, which aids in installing the drawer box onto the slide and simplifies removal when adjustments are needed.

Where Hettich 1071901 Slides Support Workflow

Using Hettich KA 4932 Slides In Cabinet Builds

These Hettich KA 4932 drawer slides belong to the side mount drawer slides class, which suits cabinet designs that rely on visible slide members running along the drawer sides. The over travel capability lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front, which improves reach to items stored at the rear of a 10 inch deep drawer and reduces the need to dig under the face frame area. Cushioned, positive in and out stops manage the end limits of travel, which protects the slide mechanism when users pull or push drawers firmly during everyday operation. The detent in function holds the drawer in the closed position, which helps drawers stay seated in their carcases in busy shop or residential environments. An unhanded slide structure allows the same Hettich 1071901 pair to serve both sides, which simplifies inventory on multi-cabinet runs.

Why These Installation Details Matter For Results

The 1/2 inch side clearance specification between drawer and cabinet defines the working envelope for the ball bearings, which supports smooth operation when drawer boxes are sized to that gap. The 2-9/32 inch slide height determines how the slide shares sidewall space with drawer bottoms and joinery, which helps avoid conflicts with fasteners or grooves along the lower edge. Holes located in 32 mm increments, starting with a 37 mm setback, integrate with standard drilling patterns, which lets installers align screws quickly and maintain level slide positioning from cabinet to cabinet. The drawer member trigger disconnect allows removing the drawer box without detaching the cabinet member, which saves time during finishing, transport within a shop, or later adjustments. A zinc finish on the slide surfaces offers a clean metallic appearance, which coordinates with other cabinet hardware components supplied through Wurth Baer Supply for woodworking projects.
