Würth PRO560
Drawer box for Würth PRO560: sizes, notch and hook holes
Würth’s PRO560, sold as the Pro Value Series through Würth Louis and Company and other Würth branches, is a 100 lb full extension undermount runner with one detail that trips people up: its front locking devices are required but sold on their own, and its bottom recess is the tightest of any runner we notch for. This page is for anyone ordering a dovetail box to run on PRO560.
Quick answer. A Würth PRO560 box needs sides up to 5/8 in thick, an inside width of opening minus 1 21/32 in, a length equal to the slide length, and a 1 5/16 in by 15/32 in rear notch with a 1/4 in hook hole. Würth publishes the spec; tell us your exact model and we match it. The outside width works out to opening minus 13/32 in (10 mm, often written 3/8 in) with our standard 5/8 in sides, cut to the 1/32 in. PRO560’s maximum bottom recess is 12 mm, a little under our standard 1/2 in recess, so tell us in the notes if you are running PRO560.
The PRO560 drawer box, dimension by dimension
| Dimension | Würth PRO560 |
|---|---|
| INSIDE DRAWER WIDTH | opening minus 42 mm (1 21/32 in), tolerance plus 0, minus about 1/32 in |
| OUTSIDE WIDTH, 5/8 IN SIDES | opening minus 10 mm (13/32 in) |
| SIDE THICKNESS | up to 16 mm (5/8 in) |
| BOX LENGTH | equal to the nominal slide length |
| BOTTOM RECESS | 12 mm maximum, a little under 1/2 in. The tightest recess limit of any runner we notch for. |
| MIN TOP CLEARANCE | about 7/32 in (7 mm) |
| REAR NOTCH, EACH BOTTOM CORNER | 1 5/16 in (33 mm) wide by 15/32 in (12 mm) tall, maximum |
| REAR HOOK HOLE | 1/4 in (6 mm) diameter, 3/8 in (10 mm) deep, centered 9/32 in (7 mm) in from the side |
| CLIP OFFSET FROM THE SIDE | about 1/2 in (12.5 mm) for the 2D clip, 5/8 in (16 mm) for the 3D clip |
| LENGTHS | 12, 15, 18, 21 in |
| LOAD, PER WÜRTH | 100 lb |
Our standard bottom setup, a 1/4 in or 1/2 in bottom captured in a 1/2 in recess, sits slightly deeper than PRO560’s 12 mm maximum. Tell us in the order notes if your box is going on PRO560 and we build the recess to fit that runner; confirm the fit against your own PRO560 drawing before cutting anything yourself, since we have not published a guaranteed shop tolerance for a recess tighter than our standard.
About the PRO560 runner
PRO560 is a full extension, soft close concealed undermount runner built for Würth by Niceco under the model YG3H0MG-21. Würth markets it as the Pro Value Series: a 100 lb runner priced between PRO500 and PRO600. Unlike PRO500 and PRO Economy, PRO560’s own installation sheet states plainly that front locking devices are required and sold on their own, not included with the runner.
To identify PRO560, pull the drawer and look at the stamp on the metal runner member for PRO560 or the Würth part numbers PRO560-12, 15, 18 or 21. Measure how deep your drawer bottom sits above the bottom edge of the side; PRO560’s unusually tight 12 mm recess limit is the detail that separates it from PRO500 and PRO600 at a glance.
Clips: required, and sold apart from the runner
PRO560 is the opposite of PRO500 and PRO Economy here: Würth’s own installation sheet states that front locking devices are required and sold separately from the runner, not included in the box. Würth lists two versions: a flanged 3D or six way device (height, side and depth adjustable, rated for 16 mm sides only) and a non flanged 2D device that takes a 1/8 in spacer for 1/2 in sides.
We do not stock PRO560 runners or their locking devices. Choosing “PRO560 3D / 6-Way Front Locking Devices” in our configurator, $5.99, has us press that device onto your box; send us the pair you bought from your Würth branch, and build for 5/8 in sides, since the 3D and six way device is rated for 16 mm sides only. On 1/2 in sides, use the 2D device with its 1/8 in spacer instead and choose No Clips so you can press it on yourself. We do not sell either device as a standalone product.
Lengths and depths we build for PRO560
| Depth | Added cost over the base box | Minimum inside cabinet depth, per Würth |
|---|---|---|
| 12 in | $0 | about 13 11/32 in (339 mm) to 14 1/8 in (359 mm) |
| 15 in | $7.99 | about 16 3/8 in (416 mm) to 17 5/32 in (436 mm) |
| 18 in | $7.99 | about 19 7/16 in (494 mm) to 20 1/4 in (514 mm) |
| 21 in | $7.99 | about 22 3/8 in (568 mm) to 23 5/32 in (588 mm) |
Prices current as of October 2026. PRO560 needs a deeper cabinet than PRO500 or PRO600 at the same nominal length, since its mounting hardware sits further back; check your cabinet depth against this table before ordering a runner length.
A worked example: 18 in opening to box
Say your cabinet opening measures 18 in wide and your PRO560 runner is stamped 18 in, with 5/8 in sides. Outside width is the opening minus 13/32 in (10 mm, often written 3/8 in), so you enter 17 5/8 in as the width, pick Würth PRO560 as the slide model, and pick an 18 in depth to match the runner. Check that your cabinet has at least about 19 7/16 in of inside depth. We cut a 1 5/16 in by 15/32 in notch at each bottom rear corner, bore the 1/4 in hook hole, and build the bottom recess to the 12 mm maximum PRO560 calls for when you tell us in the order notes. Buy the 3D/six way locking device from your Würth branch and send it with your order if you want us to press it on for $5.99.
Keep your PRO560 slides or replace them?
Keep them if they still glide, close and soft close without grinding. The box usually fails before the runner on a stapled or doweled drawer. Unscrew the old box, screw the new dovetailed box to the same PRO560 runners at the same height, and reconnect your locking device.
Replace the runners only if a member is bent, gritty or the soft close has failed. A new PRO560 pair in the same length keeps the same box, including the tighter bottom recess.
Common mistakes with PRO560 boxes
- Ordering our standard 1/2 in recess without a note. PRO560 tops out at 12 mm; tell us in the notes so we build the recess narrower.
- Using the 3D/six way device on 1/2 in sides. That device is rated for 16 mm sides only; 1/2 in sides need the 2D device with its 1/8 in spacer instead.
- Expecting clips in the box. PRO560 does not include a locking device the way PRO500 and PRO Economy do. Buy it from your Würth branch.
- Using PRO500 or PRO600 cabinet depth numbers. PRO560 needs a deeper cabinet at the same nominal length; check this page’s table, not another model’s.

Questions
Do PRO560 slides come with clips?
No. Würth’s own installation sheet for PRO560 states that front locking devices are required and sold separately, unlike PRO500 and PRO Economy, which ship with their clip included.
3D clip or six way clip for PRO560: which do I need?
They are the same part. Würth’s PRO560FLD-3D is described as both the 3D and the six way flanged device, rated for 16 mm sides only. Our configurator lists it as “PRO560 3D / 6-Way Front Locking Devices” for that reason.
Can I use 1/2 in sides with the PRO560 3D clip?
No. Würth rates that device for 16 mm (5/8 in) sides only. For 1/2 in sides, use the non flanged 2D device with its 1/8 in spacer instead.
Why does PRO560 need a deeper cabinet than PRO500 or PRO600?
Because its mounting geometry sits further back at the same nominal length. Würth’s installation sheet gives PRO560 its own minimum depth table, running from about 13 11/32 in at 12 in to about 22 3/8 in at 21 in, deeper than the matching PRO500 or PRO600 figures.
Can Gritly cut the recess narrower for PRO560?
Tell us in the order notes that your box is going on PRO560, and we build the bottom recess to fit its 12 mm maximum instead of our standard 1/2 in. Confirm the fit against your own runner before installing.
Does the PRO560 depth table already include room for a rear bracket?
Our reading of Würth’s installation drawing is that the lower figure in each pair is the tight, frameless fit and the higher figure allows room for a rear mounting method, the same pattern every other PRO runner’s depth table follows. Würth’s PRO560 sheet does not name a specific rear bracket part the way PRO500 and PRO Economy do, so confirm your mounting method with your Würth branch if your cabinet depth is right at the limit.
