• Restore smooth, reliable filing on compatible Steelcase lateral files and cabinets
• Extend the life of your existing cabinet by replacing worn rails with a durable, corrosion-resistant solution
• Reduce downtime and maintenance guesswork by clearly identifying compatibility through model numbers and manufacture date

Compatibility tips to verify before ordering: Open the top drawer and check the inner drawer color to determine the manufacturing date. If the inside is black, the cabinet is post-1997 and NEW STYLE rails are required. Rails with two mounting slits indicate NEW STYLE; if the inside and outside colors match, you may need OLD STYLE rails. For exact matching, locate the cabinet’s underside sticker to copy the Model Number and Date of Manufacture, then cross-check with the compatible series listed above.
