Description
8070 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Pocket Doors
8070 EZ Pivot Door Slide describes a Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware set that pivots a medium-duty door into and out of a cabinet opening. The 30 lb Class rating supports doors within that weight range, which suits moderate-size cabinet or multimedia doors. The 22 inch slide length works with cabinet layouts needing that reach for pocketing the door fully. The ebony black finish ties into darker casework where visible hardware needs a dark tone. This hardware is set up for doors up to 42 inches high and 24 inches wide, which frames a clear working envelope when sizing doors for an opening. The product is part of the 8070/8071/8072 family, so it aligns with that Knape and Vogt pocket door system for consistent function across related applications.
Key Pocket Door Slide Details For Projects
- The 30 lb Class rating supports doors within that load, which matters when choosing material thickness and hardware layout so the slide operates without strain.
- Maximum door dimensions of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide define the door panel envelope, helping plan cabinet openings and door construction around a known limit.
- Precision steel ball bearings provide smooth and quiet operation, which improves the feel when a door pivots and retracts and helps repeated cycles stay consistent.
- The ebony black color ties into darker cabinet interiors or trim, helping the slide visually recede when the door is open or stowed inside the cabinet.
- Multiple hinge options are supported for inset, free-swing, overlay, and thick or extra thick doors, so the same slide system can be matched to different door styles.
- The follower strip bracket is designed so the follower strip can be installed after the slides, which can simplify sequencing work on built-ins or retrofits.
Installation And Mounting Details For 8070 Slide
The 8070 EZ Pivot Door Slide is a top and bottom slide set, so the door is guided at both edges for alignment as it travels. The follower strip bracket allows the follower strip to be added after the slides are in place, which can streamline layout when the cabinet is already installed. The multiple hinge options referenced for inset, free-swing, overlay, and thick or extra thick doors let the installer match hinge geometry to the door build without changing the slide. The precision steel ball bearings in the slide carry the door along its path with controlled motion, which supports reliable travel as the door pivots and tucks into the pocket.
Using This Pocket Door Hardware In Builds
Where 8070 EZ Pivot Door Slide Fits Best
This Knape and Vogt pocket door hardware is classified as pocket door hardware and multimedia and workspace components, which fits cabinetry where doors retract into the case, such as entertainment, office, or similar built-ins. The 30 lb Class rating and 42 inch by 24 inch maximum door dimensions align with medium-duty doors rather than full-height panels, which suits upper cabinets or workstation enclosures. The 22 inch slide length suits cabinets where that stroke provides enough travel for the door to fully recess. The ebony black finish works alongside darker cabinet interiors often used in multimedia or workspace applications, so the visible portions of the slide coordinate with surrounding materials.
Details That Support Repeatable Pocket Door Results
The top and bottom slide configuration keeps the door guided along both edges, which supports squareness and reduces side-to-side play as the door moves. Precision steel ball bearings in the slides create smooth and quiet operation, which helps doors start and stop predictably during repeated use. Multiple hinge options for inset, free-swing, overlay, and thick or extra thick doors let one slide family support varied door thicknesses and reveals, which aids standardizing hardware across different cabinet runs. The follower strip bracket, designed for follower strip installation after the slides, supports a staged workflow where slides are set first and the follower linkage is aligned once the door motion is proven. Being part of the 8070/8071/8072 series gives a consistent system reference so projects using several configurations keep motion and general layout similar.
