A hard disk drive bracket includes a bezel, a lever arm attached to the bezel rotatably between a closed position against the bezel and an open position apart from the bezel, wherein a hard disk drive is locked into the hard disk drive bracket when the lever arm is in the closed position, and a multifunction wireform, wherein the multifunction wireform latches the lever arm in the closed position and releases the lever arm into the open position. The hard disk drive bracket may include a release button, wherein the multifunction wireform releases the lever arm upon pressing of the release button. The multifunction wireform may hold and bias the release button. A method of operating a hard disk drive bracket includes disposing a multifunction wireform into a bezel; attaching a lever arm to the bezel rotatably between a closed position and an open position; latching a lever arm against the bezel in the closed position and releasing the latched lever arm into the open position based on operation of the multifunction wireform. The method may include holding and biasing a release button by the multifunction wireform.
