Hettich Auto Close Drawer Channel
What is the use of drawer channel?
Telescopic channel/runner, also known as a drawer runner/channel is generally used in drawers, which are used for storing things. It is a small device which helps to simplify fluid motion while the drawer is closed and opened.
What are the types of channel used for the drawers?
There are mainly two types of channels – telescopic non-soft closing, and telescopic soft closing. As the names suggest, soft closing allows you to push the drawer and the last couple of inches close by itself so the drawers do not bang around.

Take into consideration any obstacles inside the cabinet, such as nailers or stretchers, as well as whether your drawers are full inset or overlay. Full inset drawers will reduce the maximum depth of the drawer. Typically, side-mount ball-bearing slides should be the same length as the drawer box.

Measure the box, not the drawer front
Start at the back of the box and measure to the front of the box without including the face of the drawer. Once you have the length, round the number down. For example, if the drawer is 20 ½ inches long you will need to purchase 20 inch drawer slides.
What is the maximum drawer size?
The rule of thumb is 1.5 times the length of the drawer slide. If you have a standard depth kitchen cabinet then the normal length of drawer slide is 22”. If you multiply 22” x 1.5 = 33”. You can go wider, but the wider you go the more chance that the slide will not pull out as smoothly as you hope or expect.
What is the benefit of Hettich?
Hinges by Hettich come with an integrated hidden soft-closing mechanism which puts an end to banging doors. They also let the cabinet doors close automatically from an opening angle of 35 ° approximately. So, a gentle flick of the wrist is all it takes to close the cabinet doors.
