Kinetron Pendaflex Hanging Rail Bracket 5/8", Black, KHFB-625-BL

Matte Black Finish, Purpose-Built Side-Mount Fit

This is a 5/8 inch steel hanging rail bracket from Kinetron's Pendaflex series, finished in black, for building or replacing the file rail mount on a drawer box. It positions a 5/8 inch hanging rail along the drawer side so hanging folders ride at the correct height — no improvised hardware, no mismatched heights.

Key Features

• Side-mount position — mounts along the interior wall of the drawer box, keeping the rail anchored where folders load and unload.
• 5/8 inch bracket height — matched to 5/8 inch hanging rail stock so folder hooks seat correctly and ride without catching.
• Steel construction — a solid metal bracket built to carry the weight of a loaded file drawer rather than flex under a full hang.
• Black finish — a clean, low-profile look inside painted, laminate, or dark-finished drawer boxes.
• Pendaflex series by Kinetron — designed to pair with Kinetron's Pendaflex hanging rail stock for a matched, correctly dimensioned file system.

Where This Bracket Does Its Work

Side-mount hanging rail brackets are the foundation of a built-from-components file drawer. They hold the rail at a fixed height along the drawer side so hanging folders hang level and slide freely on the rail's upper edge. This bracket is sized for 5/8 inch rail — the height dimension that the folder hooks and the rail profile must agree on. Pair it with 5/8 inch Kinetron Pendaflex hanging rail stock cut to the drawer's interior length, and the file system is ready to load.

Common applications include building file drawers in office desks, lateral file casework, shop storage, and kitchen base cabinets repurposed for document storage. It also suits repair and replacement work on existing file drawers where the original bracket has failed or was lost.

Steel Build and Black Finish

The bracket is formed steel — the right material for a part that carries a suspended load of hanging folders and their contents across a long rail span. Black finish gives the bracket a finished appearance inside the drawer box without competing visually with the box interior. It reads neutral against black, dark gray, or matte-finish interiors, and nearly disappears inside painted boxes in similar tones.

Who Reaches for This Bracket

Cabinet shops building custom file drawer inserts from rail components reach for brackets like this when the design calls for specific rail heights rather than a drop-in kit. Office furniture makers and casework contractors use the Pendaflex series to fit file function into a range of drawer sizes. Homeowners replacing broken hardware in an existing file drawer will find this bracket a direct, spec-matched replacement — as long as the current rail is 5/8 inch height and the mounting position is side-mount.

For drawers where a 1/2 inch rail is already installed, choose the matching 1/2 inch bracket instead. Bracket height and rail height must match for the folder hooks to seat correctly.

A File Drawer Built Right Stays Right

Matching the bracket height to the rail height is the one detail that makes a file drawer work reliably from the first folder to the last. Get that pairing right with the 5/8 inch Pendaflex bracket in black, and the rest of the build follows.
