What are hanging file folders and how do they work in filing cabinets?

Hanging file folders (also called suspension folders) have two metal or plastic hooks on the top edges that rest on the suspension rails inside a filing cabinet drawer, holding the folder upright and preventing it from tipping or collapsing. Standard hanging folders hold loose papers, traditional manila folders, or interior folders. Hanging folders come in letter (8.5") and legal (9.5") tab widths to match the cabinet's suspension rail width. Labels on the visible plastic tab allow quick identification. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, all of our lateral and vertical filing cabinets include suspension rails for hanging folders — call 1-800-460-0858.
