Types of Hettich Quadro guides, nuances of choice
The size range of Hettich guides allows you to install drawers in a base with a depth of 260mm with a subsequent pitch of +50mm as with all standard guide sizes. The design of the mechanism itself is such that the running parts are automatically cleaned during the extension process, so no additional maintenance is required. Also, the quality of the galvanized steel of the Quadro guides allows them to be installed on furniture in rooms with high humidity.
The range of Hettich QUADRO guides is presented in two main series with different functionality:
- QUADRO 25/30 series – partial extension guides.
- QUADRO V6 series – full extension guides with a load-bearing capacity of up to 30 kg.
- QUADRO V6+ series – full extension guides with a load-bearing capacity of up to 50 kg.
Optionally, the series is equipped with an expanded ability to adjust in three planes (Hettich QUADRO 4D) - lateral, height and tilt. This quality is especially valuable when installing built-in furniture, where there may be minor differences in the accuracy of the installation relative to the geometry. In any case, it is possible to adjust the drawers so that they slide smoothly when rolling out and do not warp, while the facade itself looks smooth and without cracks.
Each of the Hettich QUADRO V6 and 23/30 series has two possible configuration options:
- Quadro Stop Control – silent pulling (self-closing) without self-opening, the option is built in by default.
- Quadro Silent System – built-in closer for smooth closing.
- Quadro Push to open – built-in push-to-open mechanism.
All options are interchangeable. That is, initially, for example, you can install guides with Quadro V6 Push to open, and then change them to guides with a Quadro V6 Silent System closer. There is no need to recalculate the parts of the drawer frame itself.

Characteristics
Detailed calculation
Hettich Top Line L Door height = overall cabinet height – plinth height + 30 mm Door width = (overall cabinet width) / 2 + 13 mm Roof depth = overall cabinet depth – front door thickness – EB – 24.5 mm Bottom depth = overall cabinet depth – front door thickness – EB – 8 mm Depth of the first (small) rack = overall cabinet depth – front door thickness – EB – 8 mm Depth of the second (large) rack = overall cabinet depth – front door thickness – 8 mm Middle rack depth = overall depth of the cabinet - thickness of the front door - EB - 24.5 mm Height of the middle rack = overall height of the cabinet - height of the plinth - bottom thickness - roof thickness In the configuration that we supply, the roof is flush with the racks, and the bottom guide STB11! The upper running profile is located in FRONT of the roof. Minimum plinth height = 60 mm X is the door thickness Y is the technical gap between the front and rear door EB is the mounting dimension of the front door roller (which depends on the door thickness)

Hettich Quadro
The manufacturer offers two options for calculating the parts of a drawer, with a skid bottom and flush. But the easiest way is to calculate Hettich QUADRO drawers with a chipboard bottom recessed for installation of guides.
At the same time, the expanded 4D adjustment capabilities allow the use of uniform design diagrams for installation/replacement for any bottom-mounted guides from other manufacturers.
It is also possible to replace the partial extension guides with a full extension with the Hettich quadro push to open or Hettich quadro v6 silent system options selected.
The general scheme for calculating the parts of a drawer for installing any Hettich Quadro guides is as follows:
- The length of the side of the drawer = the length of the guide (250, 300, 350, etc.), the height is approximately (-50mm) from the height of the facade.
- The front panel of the drawer is 12mm shorter in height than the side panel; its length is calculated using the formula (internal niche size) -20x2.
- The bottom is inset, recessed along the height of the front panel.
Calculation example:
The length of the drawer guides is selected according to the depth of the niche for embedding. The difference should be from (+13mm) for the overlay facade and from (+35) for the internal one.
For example, for a cabinet with two drawers with HxWxD 300x600x450, guides with a length of 400 mm are suitable.
We get the calculation of parts for the drawer:
- Sidewall of drawers 400x220 – 2 pcs.
- Front/rear panel (600-32-20x2)x(220-12)=528x208 – 2 pcs.
- Bottom 368x528 – 1 piece.

DIY installation of drawers with Hettich Quadro guides
Installation of Hettich Quadro guides is carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions according to the marking scheme.
Please note that fastening the guides must be done with a distance of 1.5 mm from the edge, and then in accordance with system 32 for chipboard, 37 mm for the first mounting hole and a pitch of 32 mm.
If you need to install Hettich Quadro with push-to-open (push to open series), then the gap between the inside of the facade and the body increases to 4 mm.
It is needed to activate the pusher. But if the side of the cabinet is visible, the appearance of the furniture may suffer. Therefore, it makes sense to take this into account and change the design by adding an overlay panel.
After screwing the guides to the inner sides of the niche and the drawer frame, the last step remains - inserting the drawer itself inside the cabinet. This can be done in two ways: push-on and slide-on (with locking locks).
The drawer is inserted at an angle from above on fully extended runners. Two holes in the back of the drawer raise hooks on the rear runners. Pressing down on the drawer engages the locating pins (trunnions) and they will easily slide into position and provide a precise and secure fit. Removing the drawer is just as easy. You need to pull it out completely, lift it slightly and then remove it from the runners.
Built-in height adjustment ensures perfect front panel adjustment - no tools required. Simple sliding assembly: the drawer sits on the skids and slides easily into place. The lock latch automatically secures the drawer onto the Hettich Quadro guides. Removing the drawer from the slides is just as easy, you just need to pull it out, feel the locks and release the stopper.
