Precision fittings since 1888
Drawer slides, hinges and movement systems planned for OEM furniture lines, commercial interiors and MRO replacement programs.
Application lanes
Each lane keeps the same practical focus: fit, load behavior, installation sequence and availability across the product life cycle.

Use these planning checkpoints before final sample approval, especially when one cabinet line must cover several installation teams.
| Checkpoint | Drawer slide program | Concealed hinge program |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use | Undermount, side-mount and runner sets for furniture and storage drawers. | Soft-close and opening-angle options for framed and frameless cabinet doors. |
| Planning data | Nominal length, load class, extension type and drilling pattern. | Cup diameter, overlay, opening angle, baseplate and adjustment range. |
| Installation focus | Runner alignment, drawer box tolerance and removal sequence. | Door reveal, closing speed and repeatable jig setup. |
| Service continuity | Cross-reference common replacement sizes before line changeover. | Keep hinge arm and mounting plate pairs documented by cabinet series. |
Vertical timeline
Hettich's early manufacturing culture set the baseline for repeatable fittings, measured tolerances and catalog discipline.
Drawer runners, hinges and sliding hardware become planned parts of cabinet engineering rather than afterthought accessories.
Factories and commercial installers rely on drilling patterns, adjustment windows and stable article references to reduce site rework.
Program teams align availability, sample review and substitution notes before a cabinet range moves from prototype to repeat order.
Compact list
Fit, removal, load review and drilling confirmation for cabinet programs.
Overlay, cup position, baseplate pairing and adjustment range review.
Use one sheet for SKU, quantity, finish, packaging and target delivery windows.
Application review
Send drawer dimensions, door overlay, finish requirements or replacement references. The response can focus on fit checks, sample needs and practical next steps.
