Timberline File Frame Set for Letter Width File is a metal rail system that creates letter-size filing inside a drawer box, so a standard drawer can be set up to hang letter-width file folders in an organized row. The kit uses front and rear rail brackets designed to screw mount into the front and back of the drawer box, giving the frame a fixed reference to the drawer structure for repeatable alignment. Two 25 inch long front-to-back side rails snap onto these brackets after being cut to length with a hacksaw, so the file frame can be sized to match the internal drawer depth. A 12 inch long side-to-side rail then snaps into place between the side rails, tying the system together so files track straight across the opening in normal use.
This file drawer component set is laid out for a simple three-step installation sequence, so the drawer can be converted to letter-size filing with basic shop tools. Step 1 is to screw the front and rear rail brackets into the drawer box, which anchors the system to solid drawer members for strength. Step 2 is to cut the side rails to length with a hacksaw, then snap them onto the mounted front and rear rail brackets so the rail length matches the drawer interior. Step 3 is to snap the center side-to-side rail into place between the front-to-back side rails, completing the rectangular frame that carries letter-width files.
This file frame set is intended for use inside drawer boxes where a letter width file layout is required, making it suitable wherever standard letter-size file folders need to hang front to back. As a file drawer component in the drawer construction systems category, it works within drawer box accessories workflows where installers adapt existing or new drawer boxes into functional file drawers. The 13-1/8 inch long front and rear rail brackets screw mount into the front and back of the drawer box, so they tie directly into common drawer front and back constructions used in cabinetry and casework. Because the two 25 inch long front-to-back side rails can be cut with a hacksaw before snapping onto the brackets, the system can be fitted to drawer boxes that fall within that rail length range without needing custom rail fabrication.
The defined rail lengths and snap-together design help installers repeat the same setup across multiple drawers, giving predictable file spacing from job to job. Cutting the side rails to length with a hacksaw lets the installer fine-tune the depth so letter-size folders hang fully supported, which helps avoid files dragging on the drawer bottom. The 12 inch long side-to-side rail that snaps into place provides a fixed crossmember, so files remain aligned across the span when the drawer is opened and closed repeatedly. Two clips designed for use with the front-to-back side rail add extra hold at the rail connection, so the frame resists movement under the load of filled letter files. The metal rail system with a black finish, guaranteed to withstand 50,000 cycles with no paint wear or other degradation, maintains its appearance over long-term operation, which is important in office and commercial millwork where visible hardware must stay consistent over time.

The manufacturer part number for this Timberline file frame set is FF-SK2-W, which identifies this specific letter-size, metal, black-finish file system configuration.
This Timberline file frame set from the file drawer components category is laid out for installers converting drawer boxes to letter-width filing with a defined three-step process. The screw-mounted front and rear rail brackets, cut-to-length side rails, and snapping side-to-side rail work together to create a metal, black-finished frame for letter-size files. For drawer box accessories work where a consistent letter file layout is needed across multiple casework pieces, the FF-SK2-W rail system provides a repeatable way to establish file support inside standard drawer boxes.
