Pendaflex Brackets Top Fastening For File Rails
Pendaflex brackets top fastening give you a dedicated way to support 1/8 inch thick Pendeflex hanger rail along a file drawer. Each bracket is constructed of 16 gauge steel, so the rail seats on a rigid support point along the drawer box. The bracket is designed to affix to the top of the drawer box side, which positions the hanger rail correctly for hanging file use inside a file drawer built from standard drawer box parts. Fastening via screw to the outside of the drawer box keeps the bracket anchored to the side wall, so the load of hanging files transfers into the drawer box construction. The 1/2 inch size matches one of the available hanger rail heights, allowing you to build out a file drawer layout around the 1/2 inch Pendeflex hanger rail option.
Key File Drawer Bracket Details For Pros
- The bracket is constructed of 16 gauge steel, which provides a solid bearing surface for the 1/8 inch thick file rail and supports loaded hanging files in normal file drawer use.
- The design affixes to the top of the drawer box side, locating the hanger rail at the correct elevation relative to the drawer sides for standard hanging file operation.
- The bracket fastens via screw to the outside of the drawer box, so installers work from the outer face and keep the interior of the file drawer clear for rail and files.
- Pendeflex brackets are part of a file drawer component system, allowing installers to use standard drawer box construction and then add hanging file capability using matching hanger rail.
- These brackets are offered in three finishes, giving shops options to coordinate visible hardware with other drawer components when file drawers are specified with exposed interiors.
- The bracket family is available for three drawer box thicknesses, so builders can match bracket selection to their chosen drawer side stock without changing core box construction.
Top Fastening Bracket Position And Mounting
This Pendaflex bracket mounts at the top of the drawer box side, using screw fastening through the outside face of the drawer box. That layout keeps the bracket and the 1/8 inch thick file rail aligned directly over the drawer side, so hanging files track parallel to the drawer motion. Fastening to the outside allows installers to work along the cabinet front with standard drivers, which suits both production lines and on-site adjustments where file drawers are part of larger casework runs. Matching the 1/2 inch hanger rail height ties the bracket position to a known rail dimension, simplifying layout when repeating the same file drawer design across multiple cabinets.
Using Pendaflex File Drawer Components In Builds
Where Pendaflex Brackets Top Fastening Are Applied
Pendaflex brackets top fastening are used in file drawer construction where hanging file function is required inside a drawer box. The bracket affixes to the top of the drawer box side and supports a 1/8 inch thick Pendeflex hanger rail, so the rail forms the running edge for hanging file folders. Because the bracket fastens via screw to the outside of the drawer box, it integrates into drawer boxes built for cabinet systems without changing internal clearances for files. The 1/2 inch hanger rail height option works with this bracket setup when a lower-profile file rail is specified, so casework designers can standardize drawer side heights and still add files. Shops working with Kinetron Corporation file drawer components can build out complete file drawers by pairing these brackets with the matching Pendeflex hanger rail.
How These Brackets Support Repeatable File Drawer Results
The 16 gauge steel construction of the Pendaflex bracket gives each hanger rail support point a consistent thickness and strength, so file rails align level across the drawer span under typical hanging file loads. With the bracket tied to the top of the drawer box side, installers have a repeatable reference edge when laying out multiple brackets along a run of drawers, keeping file rails at the same working height from drawer to drawer. Fastening via screw on the outside of the drawer box also standardizes the workflow, since crews can use the same screw pattern on every file drawer built with this system. Because Pendeflex hanger rail is 1/8 inch thick aluminum flat stock and available in two heights, builders can select the 1/2 inch rail height to match this bracket and then cut the 72 inch long rail stock to span the drawer width. Using components from the same file drawer component family helps maintain alignment between the bracket, rail thickness, and rail height, which supports smooth hanging file action and minimizes rework during installation.
