The Hettich KA5632 is a 14 inch (350mm) full-extension, side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide with an integrated soft-close Silent System, designed for cabinet drawers where smooth, silent closing matters as much as solid load capacity. Sold as a set, it delivers 90 lb per-pair capacity on a clean zinc finish that fits most interior cabinetry without standing out.
A 14 inch soft-close slide fits the shorter drawers that show up most often in kitchen base cabinets, bathroom vanities, and office casework — spice drawers, utensil trays, filing sections, and nightstand drawers. Full extension matters most in those contexts: a drawer that stops three-quarters of the way out forces you to reach into a shadow to find what you need. This one brings the whole box forward. The silent damping is the other half of the story. In a kitchen or bedroom where cabinets get used dozens of times a day, a drawer that closes itself quietly is less a luxury than a basic expectation. The KA5632's Silent System handles that without needing a separate add-on mechanism.
Steel members with a zinc (galvanized) finish give the slide corrosion resistance suited to indoor environments, including the slightly humid conditions common near kitchen sinks and bathroom vanities. The zinc coating is a functional, low-profile finish — it disappears inside the cabinet rather than drawing attention. Ball bearings run in formed steel raceways across the full slide length, which keeps the load distributed evenly and prevents the jerky travel that shorter bearing runs can produce under weight.
Cabinet shops building residential kitchens and bath vanities will find the 14 inch length covers a high percentage of their shorter drawer runs in one SKU. The 90 lb rating handles anything a kitchen drawer realistically holds, and the non-handed format simplifies the picking process when running a batch of boxes. For homeowners replacing worn-out drawer hardware, this slide matches the standard 1/2 inch side clearance geometry of most existing side-mount installations, making a swap straightforward. Designers specifying handle-less fronts should note that this is a soft-close slide, not a push-to-open unit — if the project calls for touch-release opening, a different mechanism is needed at the front.
The damping is integrated into the slide set — there is no separate soft-close unit to order or install. The Silent System is part of the KA5632 from the factory.
Plan for 1/2 inch of side clearance between the drawer box and the cabinet wall on each side — build the box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. The drawer should be sized for a 14 inch (350mm) nominal slide length.
The KA5632 is a side-mount slide, so in a face-frame cabinet the back end of the slide needs rear support. Check whether rear mounting brackets are available for this series before specifying it in face-frame construction.
The 90 lb capacity is per pair — both slides together, which is the standard way load ratings are stated for drawer slides.
The zinc finish resists corrosion in normal indoor conditions, including damp kitchen and bath environments. It is not rated for outdoor, marine, or washdown applications — those call for a stainless steel slide.
The KA5632 brings together the three things a working cabinet drawer needs most — full reach, solid capacity, and a close that happens quietly every time — in a 14 inch side-mount package that installs without fuss.
