This is a 1/2 inch black hanging file rail from Custom Accents' Pendaflex series — a long-stock plastic rail cut to length and mounted in a drawer box to carry letter-size hanging file folders.
A hanging file rail runs along each side of the drawer box, giving hanging folder hooks a track to ride on. This rail is sold as long stock, so the shop cuts it to the drawer's interior length, sets it on a pair of 1/2 inch hanging rail brackets, and the drawer is ready for standard letter hanging folders. One rail covers several drawer builds before it runs out, making this format efficient for a shop turning out multiple file drawers in a run.
Because the rail profile is 1/2 inch tall, every bracket and folder hook in the installation must match that height. A 3/4 inch bracket will not seat this rail at the right level, and mismatched heights put the folders at the wrong depth in the drawer.
The rail is plastic, finished in black. The black color reads cleanly against dark drawer interiors and does not call attention to the hardware inside an open file drawer. For shops building file drawers with painted black interiors or dark laminate boxes, the black rail blends in rather than contrasting. Shops building white or light-wood interiors may prefer the white variant in this series instead.
This rail suits cabinet shops and millwork operations building file drawers in quantity, office furniture builders, and contractors converting deep drawers to filing use. Because it is long stock rather than a pre-cut pair, it works best for shops that want to cut to length in-house and reduce the number of SKUs on hand. Homeowners or designers fitting a single desk or built-in can use it too, but a pre-cut rail set may be more convenient for a one-off installation.
It is long stock at 98-1/8 inches. You cut it to your drawer's interior length on site. One rail typically covers several drawers.
Use 1/2 inch hanging rail brackets — the bracket height must match the rail's 1/2 inch profile so folders hang at the right level. Do not mix with 3/4 inch brackets.
The source data does not specify legal-size compatibility. Letter and legal folders use different rail spans; confirm the rail length and bracket spacing suit legal folders before ordering for a legal-size file drawer.
Two — one for each side of the drawer box. Each rail runs the length of the drawer interior, so cut two pieces from this stock per drawer.
It can sit in any drawer box where the interior dimensions and bracket mounting allow it. Metal system drawers often have their own system-specific file rail accessories, so check that your system does not require a matched component before using bare stock rails.
Cut this 98-1/8 inch black rail to length, pair it with 1/2 inch hanging rail brackets, and the drawer is ready for standard hanging folders — a straightforward build that keeps the file drawer work moving.
