Installation Use Of This Aluminum Hanger Rail

This Pendaflex hanger rail uses 1/8 inch thick aluminum flat stock, so it behaves like a straight, stable bar when integrated into drawer sides or supports, helping installers set parallel tracks for hanging files. The 1/2 inch height gives a defined edge to locate relative to the drawer side top, which simplifies marking and cutting operations when matching rail height from drawer to drawer. With a 72 inch length, one rail can be cut into multiple segments, allowing layout of left and right sides of several file drawers from a single piece, keeping dimensions synchronized. As part of file drawer components, it fits naturally into workflows where rails are set at matching heights on opposing sides to carry Pendaflex style hanging folders.

Using This File Drawer Component In Real Projects

Where This 72 Inch Pendaflex Rail Fits Best

This 72 inch Pendaflex hanger rail fits into file drawer construction where hanging file folders need a defined track, since its aluminum flat stock profile presents a uniform edge for folder hooks. In drawer box accessories workflows, the 1/2 inch height lets the rail sit at a predictable elevation relative to the drawer side, so rows of drawers in a cabinet can share the same working height. The 72 inch length suits shop environments building multiple drawers at once, because installers can cut pairs of rails for several drawer widths from a single stick and keep their layouts consistent. As a file drawer component from Paramount Extrusions Company, it supports projects that rely on metal rails rather than wood ledgers to carry files.

Why The Aluminum Rail Profile Supports Consistent Results

The 1/8 inch thick aluminum flat stock design maintains its profile along the 72 inch rail, which helps keep file motion even from front to back when the rail is cut and mounted square in the drawer. The 1/2 inch height simplifies repeating the same rail position, because installers can reference this fixed dimension when aligning to drawer sides in a run of cabinets. Being a Pendaflex hanger rail, the cross-section is intended to work with hanging file hooks, so once rails are cut to width, the folder support line remains consistent from drawer to drawer. Positioned within drawer box accessories and file drawer components, this rail helps standardize how hanging files are supported across multiple casework installations, reducing layout variation between units.
