8091 4x4 Pocket Door Slide No Baseplate, 75lb Capacity, Ebony Black, 30

30 Inch Flipper Slide Black For Pocket Doors

30 inch flipper slide black identifies this Knape and Vogt 8091SP EB 30 pocket door slide as a 30 inch ebony black slide designed for pocket door hardware, so it suits installations where a dark finish is preferred in multimedia or workspace cabinetry. As part of the 8091 model family in the pocket door hardware class, this slide is intended as a top and bottom slide set for a single door, which lets you build pocket doors into cabinets, closets, or work centers that hide the door when open. The 75 lb class rating supports heavy duty applications, so doors within that load range can operate while staying within the manufacturer’s performance envelope for typical use. Maximum door dimensions of 72 inches tall by 26 inches wide define the workable envelope for door size, so you can size doors confidently around that height and width.

Key Working Details Of This Pocket Slide

• The 8091 model designation defines this unit as the version of Knape and Vogt pocket door slides supplied without hinge base plates, so it suits projects where hinges and base plates are selected separately to match a specific cabinet construction.
• The 75 lb class rating for heavy duty applications sets an upper door weight class for this slide, so you can align door material and hardware selection to stay inside that rating for consistent operation over the life of the installation.
• Maximum door dimensions of 72 inches tall by 26 inches wide establish a clear design window for panel size, which helps avoid oversizing doors that could stress the slide system or affect smooth travel into the pocket.
• The dual rack and pinion system is engineered to eliminate potential for sag in the connected slides, keeping the top and bottom slides synchronized so doors track squarely into the pocket and reduce the chance of binding along the travel path.
• Precision ball bearing slides provide smooth and quiet operation in the pocket door movement, which matters in multimedia and workspace components where frequent opening and closing is expected near desks, workstations, or residential living areas.

Mounting Details For 8091 Pocket Door Slides

The Knape and Vogt 8091 pocket door slides function as top and bottom slides for a single pocket door, so each installation uses a coordinated pair to guide the door into its pocket. Pinion shafts in 36 inch, 48 inch, or 72 inch lengths connect the top and bottom pocket door slides, synchronizing movement through the dual rack and pinion system so both slides travel together. These pinion shafts can be cut to exact length as needed, which lets you adapt the connection to cabinets or enclosures with different interior depths while keeping the rack and pinion linkage tight. The system is part of the broader KV8091/8092/8091KIT-M family, so the slides integrate into the same pocket door hardware line used across multimedia and workspace components.

Pocket Door Slide Use And System Planning

Where This 30 Inch Slide Is Applied

This Knape and Vogt 8091SP EB 30 pocket door slide is classified under pocket door hardware and multimedia and workspace components, so it fits projects where a cabinet or enclosure needs a door to retract fully into a side pocket. The 30 inch slide length matches installations needing that travel distance, tying the slide stroke to typical cabinet depths used in media centers or workspace furniture. Maximum door dimensions of 72 inches tall by 26 inches wide support tall, relatively narrow doors, which is common in entertainment cabinetry or utility storage where doors have to clear equipment or shelving when retracted. The ebony black finish ties visually into dark casework or trim, so the slide hardware blends with black or deep-toned interiors rather than standing out.

Details That Support Straight, Repeatable Travel

The dual rack and pinion system on these 8091 pocket door slides is designed to eliminate any potential for sag, so the connected top and bottom slides move in unison and help keep the door plumb during opening and closing. When pinion shafts are used to connect the top and bottom pocket door slides, the racks on each slide stay synchronized, which reduces racking forces on the door and can limit side loading on the slide members. Available pinion shafts in 36 inch, 48 inch, or 72 inch lengths can be cut to exact length as needed, allowing the installer to tailor the linkage so the shaft fits between slides without excess play. Precision ball bearing slides further support smooth and quiet operation through the full travel, which is useful where repeated cycling is expected around multimedia equipment or workspace stations. Within the ordering instructions, the 8091 path specifies ordering the specific 8091 slide length and then ordering the pinion shaft, while hinges and hinge base plates are supplied by the customer, aligning the slide purchase with custom hinge selection and cabinet design.
