Smead SMD64873 Hanging File Folder Frame Legal 23-27 in

Product Description

The SMEAD SMD64873 is a heavy-gauge steel hanging file folder frame designed to retrofit standard legal-size file cabinet drawers to accept hanging folders. The frame features adjustable rails that can be scored and snapped to fit drawer lengths ranging from 23 to 27 inches, making it adaptable to a wide range of cabinet configurations. Smooth rail edges prevent wear on folder tabs and allow folders to slide freely without snagging. Each pack contains two frames, suitable for outfitting two drawers. Installers rely on this frame to modernize older cabinets and improve filing efficiency without replacing the entire unit.

This frame is intended for legal-size hanging folders in vertical or lateral file cabinets where factory-installed hanging rails are absent or damaged. It is a practical solution for offices, records rooms, and administrative workspaces that need to bring older filing cabinets up to current hanging-folder standards. The scored-and-snap rail design means no cutting tools are required for length adjustment. Each of the two included frames installs independently, allowing both to be sized differently if drawer depths vary.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed without specialized trade licensing and is typically completed by office or facilities staff. Before installing, remove all contents from the file cabinet drawer. Score and snap rails to the required drawer length before placing the frame into the drawer. Verify the frame seats securely and that rail edges clear drawer walls before loading folders.
