Kinetron Pendaflex Hanging Rail Bracket 5/8", Zinc, KHFB-625-ZC

Zinc Side-Mount Bracket for Building Reliable File Drawers

This 5/8 inch Pendaflex hanging rail bracket from Kinetron Corporation is a steel, zinc-finished side-mount bracket that secures a 5/8 inch hanging rail inside a drawer box, turning a standard deep drawer into a functioning filing drawer for hanging folders.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch height — matches the 5/8 inch hanging rail profile so folders hook and ride evenly.
• Side-mount position — fastens to the interior drawer box wall to hold the rail flush along the side.
• Steel construction — a solid metal bracket built to carry the weight of a full drawer of hanging folders.
• Zinc finish — a clean, corrosion-resistant coating suited to shop and office environments alike.
• Pendaflex series by Kinetron — part of a matched rail and bracket program with consistent sizing across the line.

Putting the Bracket to Work

Side-mount hanging rail brackets do one job: they hold the rail at the right height along the drawer side so hanging folder hooks engage cleanly and folders slide without binding. This bracket is sized for a 5/8 inch rail — that height must match the rail profile you are pairing it with. A 1/2 inch rail calls for a 1/2 inch bracket; putting the wrong height bracket under a 5/8 inch rail throws off the folder ride and creates binding at the front of the drawer. The bracket mounts to the interior face of the drawer box wall, so the rail sits parallel to the drawer sides and presents a level run for the folder hooks end to end. Brackets are sold per piece; a single drawer needs two, one per side, to carry a working rail pair.

Finish and Construction

The zinc finish on this bracket gives it a neutral, light metallic look that reads as professional hardware rather than bare steel. Zinc plating also adds a baseline layer of corrosion resistance, which makes this bracket a reasonable choice for office casework, shop storage drawers, and environments with moderate humidity. The underlying steel keeps the bracket rigid under load — a drawer full of hanging folders is heavier than it looks, and a flimsy bracket deflects and lets the rail sag. These brackets hold their position.

Where This Bracket Fits the Job

This is the bracket for builders who want the visual step up that a zinc finish provides over a plain black bracket — often the right call in a home office built-in, a light-duty shop drawer cabinet with exposed hardware, or any application where the interior of the drawer will be seen. It also works well in multi-drawer casework where the zinc pairs naturally with zinc or silver-toned drawer hardware and pulls. Cabinet shops adding file capability to a standard drawer box, contractors building office millwork, and homeowners converting a deep base cabinet drawer to hanging file storage all reach for a bracket like this one. Match it to a 5/8 inch hanging rail from the same Pendaflex line for a system-matched fit.

The Right Foundation for a File Drawer That Works

Get the bracket height right, pair it with the matching 5/8 inch rail, and the file drawer comes together cleanly — folders hang level, slide without effort, and the zinc finish keeps things looking intentional rather than improvised.
