8082 EZ Pivot Door Slide with Baseplate (No Hinge), 30lb Capacity, Self-Closing, Ebony Black, 20", Polybag
Description
8082 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Flipper Doors
8082 EZ pivot door slide is a Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware solution designed for medium-duty flipper or pocket style doors where a 30 lb class rating supports typical cabinet and multimedia door loads. The 20 inch length helps match doors and cabinets built for that slide travel, which matters when laying out clearances around equipment or shelving. The ebony black finish lets the hardware visually blend with darker interiors or door components so the focus stays on the installation, not the mechanism. As a self-closing slide, it pulls the door into its stored position at the end of travel, which helps deliver a consistent closed alignment without extra adjustments on every cycle. A pair of top and bottom slides work together in this 8082 configuration to manage door movement into and out of the cabinet pocket.
Key Slide Details That Support Door Projects
- The 8080/8081/8082 family is rated as 30 lb class for medium-duty doors, which suits applications where doors stay stable without overbuilding the supporting casework.
- Maximum recommended door dimensions of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide help define workable layouts so the door size stays within what the slide is designed to carry.
- Top and bottom slides attach to a wood follower strip prior to cabinet installation, which simplifies handling the assembly as a unit when positioning it inside the case.
- Precision steel ball bearings in the slide provide smooth and quiet operation, which matters in multimedia, office, or residential cabinets where noise and drag slow workflow.
- A cassette roller designed for raised panel doors, sold separately, adds protection for those profiles so detailing on the door edge is less exposed to wear at the slide interface.
- Multiple hinge options for inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors create flexibility when matching this slide to different door constructions and face treatments.
Installation Details For 20 Inch Ebony Black Slide
This 20 inch Knape and Vogt model uses top and bottom slides that are attached to a wood follower strip before the assembly is installed into the cabinet, which lets the installer work on a bench for better alignment and drilling. Once assembled, the slide and follower strip combination can be set into the case as a single unit, helping maintain parallelism between top and bottom tracks. The ebony black finish supports projects where a dark interior or trim is preferred, keeping visual continuity as the door pivots and retracts.
Using 8082 EZ Slide In Cabinet Projects
Where This Pocket Door Hardware Fits Best
This Knape and Vogt 8082 EZ pivot door slide with baseplate (no hinge) is part of the 8080/8081/8082 pocket door slide family rated for 30 lb class medium-duty doors, which suits cabinets, closet components, or multimedia enclosures built around that door weight. Maximum door dimensions of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide define a working envelope for designs that must retract doors fully into a pocket while protecting the frame. Top and bottom slides are attached using a wood follower strip before installation into the cabinet, so the working geometry is dialed in while the assembly is accessible. The ebony black finish supports installations in darker case interiors or where a black hardware line is part of the project specification. As pocket door hardware, this slide helps keep doors clear of equipment or workspace when open while allowing a clean closed position at the face.
Details That Support Repeatable Door Performance
The 8082 configuration provides a pair of top and bottom slides with a pair of hinge base plates attached to each, which streamlines mounting of compatible hinges in repeat cabinet runs. A self-closing function draws the door into its final stored position, which reduces the tendency for doors to sit partially open and improves visual consistency across multiple openings. Precision steel ball bearings support smooth and quiet movement along the track, helping doors glide without binding that could stress hinge mount points. Multiple hinge options covering inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors allow this pocket door slide to serve varied face treatments while using the same slide layout for production efficiency. The availability of both black and anochrome finishes in the model line means the hardware can visually coordinate with other components without changing the functional layout.
