It is! The latching function of the “Push to open” assembly may be restricted when installed on its side. However, the units work properly again when they are returned to the upright position (situation when they are in use) which means that this is not a defect and does not constitute any malfunction.

The catches for the Quadro 25 partial extension runner and the Quadro V6 full extension runner are designed to withstand repeated detachment from the runner by wrenching them up and off. Yet as a precautionary measure, you should advise your furniture customers not to yank the drawers up when, for example, they are dismantling their furniture on their own and want to detach the drawers for transportation purposes.

Our Quadro drawer runners are always rated for their respective load class and comply with all of the requirements defined in DIN-EN test standards for drawer systems and runners. If greater lateral stability is required, you should look at changing to the next higher load class.

With slide on installation, the wooden drawer (ready prepared with catch) is placed horizontally on the opened runner. Both are then pushed together into the cabinet body until the runner's C hook engages in the hole provided for this purpose in the drawer rear panel. At the same time, the drawer's catch audibly engages in the runner. Slide on installation always requires a set of catches in addition to the runner. The same YOU catch (1D=1-dimensional adjustment, height) can be used for Quadro 25 YOU and Quadro V6 YOU, with Quadro 25 2D and Quadro V6 5D requiring the 2D catch (2D=2-dimensional adjustment, height and side).

The Quadro "Push to open" comfort function lends itself to handleless design and to drawers of conventional width.On drawers that are also designed for pulling open, the Push to open unit is likely to get damaged. After "pulling" the drawer open a few times, functional problems may occur: the runner no longer "catches" correctly when the drawer is pushed closed. As a result, using "Push to open" is not recommended for this application.For "Push to open" to work properly it is also always important as well to observe the runner's maximum load capacity and the installation instructions:In the case of very wide drawers or wider type shallow drawers, the runner may encounter activation or closing problems when pressing the front panel at the edges.The function for activating "Push to open" is at its best by pressing the centre of the front panel and loses effectiveness towards the edges. The guaranteed vertical On front panels 200mm in height, the guaranteed activation zone is 50% above the panel centre.The activation zone for laden drawers is usually significantly larger than for unladen drawers.This activation zone can no longer be guaranteed for drawer fronts of cabinet body height or for drawer fronts from a height of 300 mm (not in a laden state either). To enhance the zone for activating the "Push to open" function, the synchronisation option (synchronisation bar plus two adapters) should be installed for high front panels or wide drawers. This option is currently available for all Quadro full and partial extension runners as well as for Actro YOU and Actro 5D.

Unlike the other Quadro runners, runners with "Push to open" require a gap of at least 4 mm between the front panels instead of the usual 0 mm on account of the distance needed to tension the spring. As this distance is already built into the runner, the screw on positions remain unchanged. The positions for screwing on all wooden drawer Quadro runners are configured for System 32, with the screw mounting positions at the front spaced at 37 mm from the cabinet body front edge.

In the platform system, Quadro V6 YOU and Quadro V6 5D runners are always compatible. However, a number of differences must be taken into account when installing them: The systems come with specific catches. Quadro V6 YOU requires the YOU catch, Quadro V6 5D requires the Quadro 2D catch.The front recess measures 50 mm for the Quadro V6 YOU and, diverging from this, 75 mm for the Quadro V6 5D.

Installing the draweron the Quadro drawer runners Quadro V6 YOU (full extension runner) and Quadro V6 5D (full extension runner) For slide on installation, a set of catches is required in addition to the runner.The same catch is used for Quadro 25 YOU and Quadro V6 YOU (YOU catch, 1D=1-dimensional).The same catch is also used for Quadro 25 2D and Quadro V6 5D (2D catch=2-dimensional). Preparing the wooden drawerfor the Quadro drawer runner Quadro V6 YOU (full extension runner) as well as Quadro V6 5D (full extension runner)  Nothing changes to the way in which the drawer is prepared.Drawer side profile overhang is still 12-13 mm for all Quadro runners for slide on installation.With a four sided drawer, the front recesses for the catch measure 50 mm for Quadro 25 YOU and Quadro V6 YOU,75 mm for Quadro 25 2D and Quadro V6 5D and recesses at the rear panel ≥ 50 mm each. Installation space/overall heightfor the Quadro drawer runner Quadro V6 YOU (full extension runner) as well as Quadro V6 5D (full extension runner) "Installation space" describes the distance required between the row of mounting screws and the bottom edge of the runner. Allowance must be made for this in the cabinet body layout plan, particularly for the bottom most drawer and its runner. at least 34 mm for the Quadro 25 YOU partial extension runnerat least 34 mm for the Quadro 25 2D partial extension runnerat least 38 mm for the Quadro V6 YOU full extension runnerat least 38 mm for the Quadro V6 5D full extension runner Full extension runners have an additional profile (centre profile) to permit their longer opening travel.This additional profile makes full extension runners higher which means they require more "installation space" than partial extension runners: To permit full interchangeability between partial and full extension runners, provision should be made for an installation height (lowest screw mounting height) of 38 mm. The positions for attaching the front panels, especially to the bottom most drawer, may otherwise have to be redefined if provision has not been made for specified installation space. Front panel positionfor the Quadro drawer runner Quadro V6 YOU (full extension runner) as well as Quadro V6 5D (full extension runner) The distance from the top screw mounting position and the underside of the drawer base is always the same for all Quadro runners for wooden drawers: 9.5mm.This means that on different runners the same drawer is always positioned at the same height in the cabinet body and the position of the front panel always remains the same too.

The Quadro generation marketed to date will be continued from 2024, although only in industrial packs. The old generation's Quadro V6+ drawer runners with a load capacity of 50 kg and Quadro V6 4D will be discontinued from the beginning of 2024. We will be offering our Actro drawer runners for load capacities in excess of 30 kg.

The new generation will be available from the 3rd quarter of 2024.

"IW" denotes for the drawer's installed width.The dimension indicates the distance between the inside of the cabinet body and the inside of the inside of drawer side profile below the drawer.The IW can be used to calculate the appropriate internal drawer width:Cabinet body inside width – 2 x IW = drawer inside width.The generation of Quadro drawers introduced from 2024 and the "YOU" platform from Hettich will all have an installed width of "IW21", i.e. a distance of 21 mm between the inside of the cabinet body and the inside of the drawer side profile below the drawer.
