8050 EZ Hinged Door Slide For Overhead Doors

8050 EZ hinged door slide with 20lb capacity is a Knape and Vogt up and under flipper slide designed to let an overhead door move smoothly and then store up and out of the way. This 12 inch KV Model KV8050 pair provides 3/4 extension travel so the door clears the opening while still keeping the slide compact inside the cabinet. As an up and under flipper slide, it supports doors that pivot and roll into the cabinet, which keeps fronts away from working space in multimedia or workspace installations. The 20 lb class per pair rating matches light overhead doors where controlled motion is more important than heavy load capacity. The 12 inch length suits cabinets sized for shorter flipper doors, keeping stroke and hinge action balanced for consistent movement during repeated use.

Key Working Details For Cabinet Installers

• KV Model KV8050 20 lb class per pair lets you match the slide to lighter overhead doors, so the motion stays controlled instead of overloaded or abrupt.
• The up and under flipper slide design fits multimedia and workspace components, helping doors retract into the cabinet and keep equipment fronts clear during operation.
• The 12 inch length keeps the mechanism compact, which is useful for upper cabinets where interior depth is limited but full door travel is still needed.
• 3/4 extension travel provides enough stroke for typical flipper door swing while reducing slide projection, which can help when routing cables or shelving behind the door path.
• Knape and Vogt construction in an up and under flipper slide format supports repeatable door motion, which is valuable on multi-bay runs where every door needs to behave the same.

Sidewall Mounting And Door Motion Details

This 8050 EZ hinged door slide mounts to the inside of the cabinet sidewall, so the track follows the cabinet interior front-to-back without taking space at the face frame. Mounting on the sidewall keeps the mechanism aligned with the door hinge action, which helps the flipper door roll inside the cabinet in a controlled path. The permanently staked hinge pin ties the door pivot to the slide body, which reduces play at the hinge joint and helps maintain a consistent reveal across the opening. With one-piece, non-marring roller construction, the slide provides door support and rolling action in a single element, reducing component interfaces that can add noise or roughness.

Using This Up And Under Flipper Slide In Projects

Where The 8050 EZ Hinged Door Slide Works

The 8050 EZ hinged door slide is part of the overhead flipper slides group in shelf, closet and garage organization and multimedia and workspace components. In these applications, doors roll inside the cabinet so panels do not project into aisles, bench areas, or viewing zones. By using a 12 inch Knape and Vogt up and under flipper slide, a cabinet can house shorter overhead doors that rise and retract above electronics, tools, or storage bins. The 3/4 extension travel lets the door move far enough to open viewing and access while the flipper slide keeps the track and roller safely inside the cabinet footprint. With a 20 lb class per pair rating, this slide addresses typical lightweight overhead doors in these environments, aligning capacity with the panel and hardware weight commonly used there.

Why These Slide Details Support Repeatable Results

The hinged door slide format with a permanently staked hinge pin means the pivot point remains fixed to the track, which supports consistent door alignment across multiple cycles and reduces the chance of the pivot loosening at the connection. A one-piece, non-marring roller presents a smooth rolling surface to the track, helping protect finished door edges as they travel in and out of the cabinet interior. Sidewall mounting keeps both slides in a matched vertical plane along the cabinet sides, aiding parallel alignment between left and right slides so the 8050 EZ hinged door slide moves uniformly. The 3/4 extension action limits overtravel while still clearing the opening, which can reduce stress on the hinge pin and rollers during repeated up and under movement. By using a 12 inch length sized for compact doors, the slide geometry keeps the door weight close to the cabinet, supporting predictable motion in multimedia, workspace, and storage runs using the same Knape and Vogt pattern.
