Hettich Quadro V6 5D 21" Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9374902

Hettich Quadro V6 5D Undermount Slide Use

Hettich Quadro V6 5D undermount drawer slide delivers soft-close, full-extension motion for 21 inch drawers, so drawers travel the full depth while closing smoothly for higher-end cabinet function. The right hand ball bearing design supports consistent running action, which helps maintain predictable drawer feel across a kitchen or built-in run. Its undermount configuration keeps the slide beneath the drawer, leaving the drawer sides clear for clean-lined boxes and easier side panel design. The integrated Silent System handles the controlled closing action, which reduces slamming forces that can stress drawer joints over time. Rated to a load capacity up to 30 kg for standard applications, the slide supports typical residential storage loads while keeping motion stable under weight. A galvanised steel construction provides a robust track structure, which supports long-term use in normal interior woodworking environments.

Key Functional Details For This Drawer Slide

• Soft-close full extension action allows drawers to open fully to the back, improving access to stored items and reducing the need to reach into the cabinet interior during everyday use.
• Slide on installation with 2D front fixing clips and tilt adjustment speeds up drawer fitting, since the runner locates quickly and the front can be aligned without disassembling the drawer box.
• Tool-less, intuitive adjustment of the drawer front panel means height, side, depth, tilt, and radial positions can be tuned on site, helping align reveals after cabinet installation and leveling.
• Optional Push to open Silent function can be retrofitted, allowing the same runner to work in handleless fronts where a gentle push activates opening and the Silent System still controls the closing stroke.
• Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 and galvanised steel construction together provide a tested runner structure, giving installers a slide engineered for demanding standard drawer applications.

Installation And Adjustment For Accurate Drawer Fit

Slide on installation with 2D front fixing clips lets the drawer connect to the undermount slide quickly, which helps when setting multiple drawers in a run. Tilt adjustment at the front works with the undermount geometry to fine-tune the drawer angle, so faces line up neatly even when floors or cabinets vary slightly. Tool-less height adjustment up to plus 3 mm provides vertical tuning of the drawer front, which supports creating even top and bottom gaps across stacked drawers. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm, with a maximum drawer side profile thickness of 15 mm, lets the front shift laterally for parallel reveals against adjacent fronts. Depth adjustment up to plus 2 mm and minus 1 mm allows the drawer front to sit flush to the cabinet face or fascia detail, avoiding proud or recessed fronts. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm further refines front alignment, which is useful when squaring fronts relative to slightly out-of-true carcasses.

How This 21 Inch Right Hand Slide Performs In Use

Where The 21 Inch Undermount Slide Fits Best

The 21 inch length targets drawer depths that match standard cabinet carcase dimensions, so the Full Extension function moves the drawer to the front edge, maximizing usable storage depth. As a right hand undermount runner, it is part of a handed system where each cabinet side uses a specific slide, which supports precise guidance geometry on both sides of the drawer box. The soft-close Silent System manages the last part of the closing stroke, so the drawer is pulled consistently to the fully closed position against the cabinet front, helping fronts stay aligned over repeated use. Because the slide is undermount, the mechanism stays largely concealed under the drawer bottom, allowing designers to specify thicker or decorative drawer sides within the stated maximum side profile thickness of 15 mm.

Load capacity up to 30 kg for standard applications gives the slide the strength for typical kitchen, bath, or storage drawers carrying everyday contents within that range, which supports stable motion even when drawers are fully loaded. A version available for particularly light drawers up to 10 kg extends the Quadro V6 5D concept to smaller, lighter-use drawers, which can benefit from the same controlled movement while using a slide tailored for reduced loads. Ball bearing technology in the Quadro mechanism provides defined running characteristics along the steel tracks, so drawers feel consistent from initial opening through full extension. The Push to open Silent retrofit option allows handleless operation by combining a push-to-open trigger with soft-close behavior, which can simplify hardware selection when balancing design goals with functional requirements.
