8080 EZ Pivot Door Slide with Hinge and Plate, 30lb Capacity, Black, 12
Description
8080 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Medium-Duty Doors
8080 EZ pivot door slide with hinge and plate, 30lb capacity, black, 12 is a Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware solution designed for medium-duty doors that need to pivot out and slide back into a cabinet. This 30 lb class rating supports medium-duty doors so they move reliably without overbuilding the cabinet. The black finish gives the hardware a low-visibility look that works well in multimedia and workspace components where hardware should not draw attention. Being part of the KV 8080/8081/8082 family means the slide is engineered for pocket door use rather than adapted from general drawer slides, which supports smoother operation in this application. As pocket door hardware within shelf, closet, and garage organization, it helps doors clear openings, pivot, and stow without needing external swing space.
Pocket Door Hardware Details That Support Workflow
- The 30 lb class rating is designed for medium-duty doors, so typical multimedia or workspace doors operate smoothly without overstressing the slide components during daily use.
- Maximum door dimensions of 42 inch high by 24 inch wide define the working envelope, which helps match door size to slide capacity so doors track properly and stay aligned.
- Top and bottom slides are attached with a wood follower strip prior to cabinet installation, which ties the slides together and helps maintain consistent spacing for better door action.
- Precision steel ball bearings provide smooth and quiet operation, which matters on pocket doors that move fully in and out and need controlled, low-resistance travel.
- Multiple hinge options for inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors allow one slide family to cover varied door constructions and reveals within a project.
- Available black finish coordinates with dark interiors, helping the hardware visually recede while still delivering the required motion for the door system.
Pivot Door Slide Mounting And Hinge Options
The top and bottom slides in the 8080 series are designed to be attached first to a wood follower strip, then installed as an assembly into the cabinet, which simplifies alignment between upper and lower tracks. This approach helps keep the door square to the opening as it pivots and slides, reducing binding. Within the KV 8080/8081/8082 options, multiple hinge choices support inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors, so the same slide concept can be used across different door layouts. That flexibility is useful when matching face frame and frameless cabinets or varying door thicknesses in one run.
Using 8080PEZ EB 12 Slides In Cabinets
Where This Medium-Duty Pocket Door Slide Fits
The 8080 EZ pivot door slide with hinge and plate, 30lb capacity, black, 12 belongs to Knape and Vogt model 8080 within the 8080/8081/8082 pocket door slide packs, placing it in the pocket door hardware class. With a 30 lb class medium-duty rating and maximum door dimensions of 42 inch high by 24 inch wide, it suits doors in multimedia cabinets, workspace components, and similar built-ins that fall inside that size and weight envelope. The product resides in shelf, closet, and garage organization as well as multimedia and workspace components, so it aligns with applications where doors need to retract fully into the cabinet. A black finish supports use in darker interiors or where a more discreet hardware appearance is preferred.
Details That Support Smooth, Repeatable Door Travel
Top and bottom slides are attached with a wood follower strip prior to installing into the cabinet, which establishes a fixed relationship between upper and lower tracks so the door travels in a consistent plane during every cycle. Precision steel ball bearings inside the slide support smooth and quiet motion, useful when pocket doors move a full depth into the cabinet and back out many times a day. A cassette roller is available to add protection for raised panel doors, helping shield the panel profile as the door pivots and slides within the pocket. Multiple hinge options within the 8080 system cover inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors, allowing accurate door positioning and swing characteristics while using the same slide family. The slide is part of Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware, which is designed specifically for doors that pivot and retract, supporting predictable performance in cabinets built around this motion.
