8082 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Medium-Duty Doors

8082 EZ pivot door slide is a Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware set designed for medium-duty doors up to 30 lb, so it supports typical multimedia or workspace doors without overbuilding the cabinet. The slide is rated 30 lb class, which aligns with many residential and light commercial pocket door applications where smooth travel matters more than extreme load. Maximum door dimensions are 42 in high by 24 in wide, so you can plan door size and cabinet opening with clear limits in mind. This 22 in length version suits cabinets where a compact slide still needs to carry a full-height door on a pivoting, retracting motion. The self-closing function pulls the door to its rest position, which helps doors sit consistently without manual nudging. As pocket door hardware, it lets a door pivot and slide back into the cabinet, freeing up front access to the opening.

Key Pocket Door Slide Details That Matter

• The 8080/8081/8082 family is 30 lb class rated for medium-duty doors, aligning the slide with typical entertainment, closet, or workspace door sizes where controlled movement and predictable load handling are important.
• Maximum door dimensions of 42 in high by 24 in wide define a clear working envelope, helping avoid oversizing doors that could strain the slide or affect alignment over time.
• Top and bottom slides attach with a wood follower strip prior to cabinet installation, so the door and slides can be treated as a single unit for fitting, alignment, and handling.
• A cassette roller is available to add protection for raised panel doors, helping reduce door edge contact and supporting smoother motion on profiled door designs.
• Precision steel ball bearings provide smooth and quiet operation, which is important when pocket doors are used in offices, living areas, or workspaces where noise and drag slow workflow.
• Multiple hinge options support inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors, allowing the same slide family to be applied across varied cabinet and door builds.

Installation And Mounting Approach For This Slide

This Knape and Vogt 8082EZ PEZ EB 22 slide uses top and bottom slides that are attached with a wood follower strip before the assembly is mounted into the cabinet, so the door, slides, and follower move as a single controlled unit. That approach lets the door be located, drilled, and aligned on the bench, then transferred into the cabinet without reworking hinge positions. The slide is self-closing, so once installed and aligned, the mechanism draws the door into position, reducing the need for repeated minor adjustments during daily use. As pocket door hardware in the 30 lb class, it is suited to medium-duty doors within the specified 42 in by 24 in envelope, focusing installation decisions on layout and pivoting action rather than heavy-structural reinforcement.

Using This 8082 EZ Pivot Slide In Projects

Where This Pivot Door Slide Fits Best

This 8082 EZ pivot door slide from Knape and Vogt sits in the 8080/8081/8082 30 lb class family, so it targets medium-duty doors such as those found on multimedia cabinets, workspace storage, or similar pocket door applications. Its maximum door dimensions of 42 in height by 24 in width set a clear size range, which suits many tall but relatively narrow doors that need to retract fully into a cabinet. As pocket door hardware, it supports doors that pivot and slide instead of swinging into the room, which is helpful wherever front clearance is limited or equipment needs to stay accessible without door interference. The availability of multiple hinge options for inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors lets fabricators apply the same slide concept across face-frame, frameless, and specialty door builds, so projects with mixed door styles can still use a consistent motion system.

Details That Keep Door Motion Consistent

The top and bottom slides on this 8082 configuration are attached using a wood follower strip before the assembly is set into the cabinet, so the door and slide geometry is locked in a stable relationship that simplifies maintaining reveal and clearance along the travel. Precision steel ball bearings in the Knape and Vogt design deliver smooth and quiet operation, which is valuable when doors are opened and closed frequently in work or living areas where friction or noise would be distracting. The self-closing action adds a controlled pull at the end of travel, helping the door return to its home position with repeatable alignment. A cassette roller is offered to add protection for raised panel doors, which supports projects using profiled doors by reducing direct edge contact along the slide path. This 22 in ebony black version also aligns with projects where hardware color needs to coordinate with dark interiors or components while still delivering the same 30 lb class performance.
