An example binder apparatus includes a housing, first and second carrier rails supported by the housing and a slider movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the slider to secure the first and second carrier rails in a closed position. In the second position, the slider to enable pivotable movement of the first and second carrier rail. The binder apparatus includes a lever to pivot the first carrier rail and the second carrier rail. The lever includes a groove and a channel. The groove to receive a portion of the first and second carrier rails, the channel to receive an end of the slider.
