8072 EZ Pivot Door Slide with Baseplate, 30lb Capacity, Ebony Black, 12", Polybag

8072 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Medium Doors

8072 EZ pivot door slide is a Knape and Vogt pocket door slide assembly designed for medium-duty doors up to 30 lb, so it supports typical multimedia or cabinet doors without overbuilding the hardware. As part of the KV 8070/8071/8072 30 lb class family, it matches projects that call for consistent performance across similar pocket door installations. The 12 inch length aligns with shorter door widths, so it suits compact cabinets where full-size pocket systems are unnecessary. This model is rated for maximum door dimensions of 42 inch high by 24 inch wide, which defines a clear working envelope for layout and hinge placement on your door panel. The ebony black finish gives the slide a dark profile, which helps it visually blend into darker cabinet interiors or equipment enclosures. With a baseplate and pivot door mechanism in one assembly, this slide provides a contained solution for a pocketing door that needs to pivot out and slide back cleanly.

Key Pocket Door Details That Support Workflow

• The KV model 8070/8071/8072 30 lb class rating defines this slide as a medium-duty option, so it suits doors that need dependable motion without excess bulk in residential or light commercial cabinetry.
• Maximum door dimensions of 42 inch high by 24 inch wide set precise sizing limits, which simplifies planning for door construction, hinge layout, and cabinet opening design in repeatable builds.
• Precision steel ball bearings provide smooth and quiet operation, which reduces friction during daily use and supports accurate alignment when the pocket door is moved in and out of the cabinet.
• Multiple hinge options for inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors allow the slide to adapt to various door styles, so you can match the hardware to different face conditions within one project line.
• The 12 inch slide length works well with shorter doors, helping you fit the hardware into shallow cabinets or constrained spaces where longer pocket door systems would interfere with interior components.
• The ebony black finish matches darker casework, which helps maintain a clean appearance in AV cabinets, office furniture, or other installations where visible hardware needs a low-profile look.

Installation Details For The 8072PEZ EB 12 Slide

The 8072PEZ EB 12 slide is supplied as a set with top and bottom slides, so both guiding points are matched for a single door installation. Base plates are pre-attached to the slide bracket on this model, which streamlines mounting because the critical connection points are already fixed at the factory. The follower strip bracket is designed so the follower strip can be installed after the slides, allowing you to set the slide positions first and then add the follower element when the cabinet interior is accessible. This sequence supports a straightforward workflow where you mount the slide set, hang and align the door using your chosen hinges, and then position the follower strip relative to the installed slides.

Using This Pocket Door Hardware In Projects

Where This Pocket Door Slide Performs Best

This pocket door hardware fits projects that need a compact pocketing action for doors within the 42 inch high by 24 inch wide and 30 lb limits, such as medium-sized multimedia cabinets or workspace enclosures. Because it belongs to the KV 8070/8071/8072 30 lb class, it can be specified alongside related models in the same family when different slide lengths or hinge provisions are required, keeping hardware choices consistent across a build. The ebony black finish suits darker casework, so it works well in AV furniture, black interior cabinets, or office units where exposed hardware needs to recede visually. With support for inset, overlay, free-swing, thick, and extra thick door hinge options, it can handle varied face conditions, which is useful when different cabinet banks in the same job require different door styles while using the same pocket door slide concept.

Details That Help With Repeatable Installation Results

The precision steel ball bearing construction creates a smooth, quiet travel path, which helps maintain predictable motion each time the door pivots and pockets, reducing the tendency for binding when doors are sized within the stated dimensions. Pre-attached base plates on the slide bracket reduce separate part alignment during mounting, which shortens layout time when repeating the same cabinet design across multiple openings. The follower strip bracket design, which allows the follower strip to be added after the slides, gives flexibility to route wiring or install interior components first in multimedia or workspace cabinets and then bring in the follower element once internal work is complete. By using hinge options that support inset, overlay, free-swing, and thick door constructions, you can keep the same slide geometry while adjusting only the hinge solution, supporting standardization of cut lists and cabinet dimensions.
