KV 26" Card Index Follower Track, Anochrome, 476T ZC 26

26 Inch Card Index Follower Track For File Drawers

26 inch card index follower track from Knape and Vogt is a steel bottom track designed as part of the KV475/476 series file drawer components, so it works as the guided base for matching followers in file and index drawers. The 2-1/4 inch by 1/4 inch profile keeps the track low and narrow in the drawer, which preserves usable storage space while still giving the follower a guided path. The anochrome finish on the steel track provides a uniform hard surface, which supports smooth follower travel and consistent performance over repeated drawer use. As a file drawer component within drawer box accessories, this track supports a controlled row of files or cards, helping organize higher-use drawers in office or service environments.

Follower Track Details That Support Daily Use

• The track is part of the KV475/476 series, so it matches that system of file drawer components and keeps the follower moving along a defined path for predictable file or card positioning.
• Steel construction gives the follower track a rigid base, which helps it hold a straight line in the drawer and keeps the follower aligned as papers or cards are moved forward.
• The anochrome finish on the steel track creates a hard, even surface that supports consistent sliding contact with the follower and helps maintain a clean, professional look inside the drawer.
• The 2-1/4 inch by 1/4 inch size keeps the track compact, so it fits into the drawer bottom area while leaving room for files or cards to stand and move along the guided row.
• As a file drawer component in the drawer construction systems category, this track integrates into purpose-built file drawers where controlled front positioning of papers and cards is needed.

Bottom Mount Follower Track Installation Use

The bottom track can be surfaced or recessed mounted, so it fits into different drawer construction styles while providing a defined base for the follower. Surface mounting lets the track sit on top of the drawer bottom, which can speed layout in new work where height is available. Recessed mounting allows the track to sit down into a groove or pocket in the drawer bottom, which helps keep the interior floor flatter around the file or card area. Because the track can be cut to length, installers can trim it to match specific drawer depths, giving a continuous guide from front to back without overhang that might interfere with drawer operation.

How This File Drawer Component Works In Practice

Where This Card Index Follower Track Fits

This follower track is used in file drawer construction as part of the Knape and Vogt KV475/476 series, so it fits projects where organized paper or card storage is built into drawer boxes. In file drawers, the track works with a follower to keep papers or files to the front of a drawer, which helps maintain a consistent working edge for filing and retrieval. In card index setups, the follower options support smaller formats such as library cards, index cards, or service cards, giving the same controlled forward position in more compact drawers. The 2-1/4 inch by 1/4 inch dimension suits the floor area of these drawers, and the ability to cut the track to length allows it to match various cabinet and casework depths on the job.

Why Track Design Supports Repeatable File Positioning

The steel construction and anochrome finish combine to create a stable sliding base for the follower, which helps the assembly keep papers or files to the front of a drawer even after repeated opening and closing. As a file drawer component in the drawer box accessories category, the track is tailored to support dedicated file storage rather than general-purpose drawer use, which improves how consistently files or cards line up at the front. The option for surface or recessed mounting gives installers flexibility to align the track with the drawer bottom design, helping the follower sit at the right height relative to hanging files, folders, or cards. Because followers come in two sizes - small for library cards, index cards or service cards, and large for file drawers - the same style of track can support both card index drawers and full-size file drawers when matched with the appropriate follower style.
