I think the OP is asking about Card Guides.  These are slotted guides that are mounted to a backplane or the rear of a card cage that guides a PCB card properly into the receptacle.  Search www.mouser.com, www.digikey.com, www.jameco.com, etc. for "card guide" and you should turn up something useable.
