8072 EZ Pivot Door Slide with Baseplate, 30lb Capacity, Ebony Black, 22", Polybag
Description
8072 EZ Pivot Door Slide For Medium Doors
8072 EZ pivot door slide is a Knape and Vogt 30 lb class pocket door hardware set designed for medium-duty doors where a clean, retracting door action is needed. The 22 inch length supports pocket-style movement for doors that pivot and slide back into a cabinet or enclosure. As part of the KV 8070/8071/8072 family, this 8072PEZ EB 22 model provides a consistent solution when matching to other installations using the same series. The ebony black finish helps the slide blend into darker casework and multimedia furniture, keeping the focus on the door face rather than the hardware. With a rated maximum door size of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide, it targets typical entertainment, multimedia, or workspace doors without oversizing the mechanism. The pocket door hardware classification keeps it in the sweet spot for retracting cabinet and enclosure doors.
Key Pocket Door Slide Details For Installers
- The KV Model 8070/8071/8072 series is rated as a 30 lb class, which suits medium-duty doors that need reliable motion without moving into heavy industrial hardware.
- A maximum door dimension of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide keeps the slide focused on common cabinet, multimedia, and workspace doors that fall within this envelope.
- This 8072 configuration is supplied as one set of top and bottom slides, so the door is guided from both edges for controlled pivot and pocket motion.
- The 22 inch slide length supports a compact pocket depth while still allowing the door to retract into the cabinet, which helps when casework depth is limited.
- A follower strip bracket is designed so the follower strip can be installed after the slides, which lets installers set and secure the slides first, then fit the strip to suit the door.
- Precision steel ball bearings provide smooth and quiet operation, which matters for entertainment or office environments where noise and drag are unacceptable in everyday use.
Installation Behavior And Mounting Workflow
The 8072 PEZ EB 22 pocket door slide is supplied as a top and bottom set, so the door is supported along both edges and tracks consistently as it pivots and retracts. Its follower strip bracket design allows the follower strip to be fitted after the slide installation, letting installers position and secure the slides to the cabinet and door first, then dial in the follower strip position for proper tracking. Multiple hinge options across the 8070/8071/8072 family - including inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors - open up layout choices when coordinating hinge geometry with the pocket slide path. The ebony black color helps the hardware visually recede inside darker cabinets, supporting a cleaner finished look once the door is fully open or recessed.
Using This Knape And Vogt Pocket Door Slide
Where This Pocket Door Slide Works Best
The Knape and Vogt 8072 EZ pivot door slide fits pocket door hardware applications where a door must pivot out and then retract into the cabinet on a 22 inch slide path. With a 30 lb class rating and door size envelope of 42 inches high by 24 inches wide, it suits medium-duty doors on multimedia cabinets, workspace furniture, or similar casework that stays within this capacity and dimension range. The 8072 version supplies both top and bottom slides, so the door benefits from guided movement at two points, which is useful wherever doors are opened and closed repeatedly through the day. Its ebony black finish coordinates well with dark interior cabinet colors often used in entertainment and office installations.
Details That Support Repeatable Pocket Installations
The follower strip bracket on the 8072 pivot door slide is specifically designed so the follower strip can be installed after the slides are mounted. That sequence allows installers to secure the slides to the cabinet and door, verify movement, and then position the follower strip to maintain a controlled path into the pocket. Precision steel ball bearings help the slide operate smoothly and quietly, which reduces resistance during repeated cycles and limits noise transfer through cabinetry. The multiple hinge options supported across the 8070, 8071, and 8072 range - spanning inset, free-swing, overlay, thick, and extra thick doors - give designers flexibility when selecting door overlays or thicknesses while staying within the same slide family. Using the 22 inch version helps keep pocket depth and cabinet dimensions predictable from project to project, since the same slide length defines the door retraction distance on each installation.
