As I’ve thought about this, it occurs to me that you mean I could put a block of wood of appropriate dimensions on the back of the cabinet and screw the rails to that. I should have though of that. Thank you. That may allow me to return the Swisco products.

Agreed. I’m going to try the Swisco brackets and see if they support these rails. If not, then replacing the whole rail is not the end of the world.

A good question. It holds the end of the rail. The rail sits on it and doesn’t have a screw-friendly surface to attach it to the back. The flat surface faces the floor and therefore rests on this (cheesy, low cost, minimal, pisses me off) bracket.

I THINK I can screw new, different brackets to the back panel. In fact that’s my general plan. Just trying to find a good bracket to use.

Here’s what I’ve figured out fixing it today: The supports on the back of the cabinet are ambidextrous, so you may be able to swap sides for a temp fox at least. My rails only use one side of the bracket at a time, so the L/R swap works when the other side is intact.
If this doesn’t make sense I’m happy to elaborate.
