Hettich KA4732/Black/16"-400mm IW12.7mm/35Kg Drawer Channel

Overview

The Hettich KA4732 is a full-extension ball-bearing drawer runner (channel) in black finish, sized 400mm (16 inches), with a 35kg load capacity and an integrated soft-close (silent closing) mechanism. It is manufactured by Hettich India Pvt Ltd and sold as a set of 2 runners.

What It Does

The KA4732 channel allows drawers to open to their full length while sliding smoothly on ball bearings, giving high lateral stability during use. The integrated soft-close system slows and cushions the drawer as it closes, preventing slamming. A lever mechanism allows the runner to be installed or removed without tools.

Who It Helps

This product is suited for:

• Modular kitchen and furniture manufacturers specifying drawer hardware
• Interior designers and carpenters fitting cabinets, kitchen units, or storage drawers
• Homeowners or renovators replacing worn drawer runners with a soft-close upgrade
• Buyers needing a 35kg-rated channel for heavier drawer loads (e.g., utensils, tools, files)
