How do hanging file folders work inside a filing cabinet?

Hanging file folders have two small metal or plastic hooks on the top edges that rest on the suspension rails inside a filing cabinet drawer, keeping the folders suspended upright and parallel. Individual manila folders or documents slide inside each hanging folder, which acts as a labeled, tabbed organizer you can flip through from the front. The system keeps files accessible and prevents them from slumping to the bottom of the drawer. Suspension rails are a standard feature on most commercial filing cabinets.
