Middle Atlantic BGR-4538SA LRD 27"D – 45SP Stand-Alone Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic BGR-4538SA LRD 27"D is a 45-space stand-alone BGR rack enclosure with a 27-inch depth and lever-release door, designed for AV equipment rooms and IT closets requiring a self-contained, secure cabinet. This rack is optimized for single-bay deployments where gangable configurations are not required, offering solid side panels that provide structural rigidity and a clean finished appearance. Integrators and procurement teams looking for a 45U stand-alone rack enclosure, a BGR rack with lever-release door, or a Middle Atlantic 27-inch deep equipment rack will find this unit suited to dense, cable-managed installations.

Product Description

The BGR-4538SA LRD 27"D belongs to Middle Atlantic's BGR (BGR Rack) family, engineered for professional AV and IT infrastructure. As a stand-alone unit, it ships with solid, finished side panels — unlike gangable models — making it appropriate as a freestanding cabinet in any equipment room. The 45-space rack height accommodates a full complement of 1U through 4U components including servers, patch panels, UPS units, AV processors, and amplifiers. The 27-inch depth is well-suited for most standard rack-mount equipment and conserves floor space compared to deeper variants. The lever-release door (LRD) mechanism provides fast, tool-free front-panel access while maintaining a secure, low-profile latch that stays out of cable paths. Side panels are fixed and finished, contributing to airflow management when used alongside blanking panels and structured cable management accessories. The enclosure accepts standard 10-32 rack rail hardware and is compatible with the full range of Middle Atlantic cable management, shelving, and power distribution accessories. This unit is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor serving AV integrators, IT infrastructure teams, and institutional procurement departments across North America.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rack be ganged with other BGR enclosures?

No. The BGR-4538SA LRD is a stand-alone model with solid finished side panels. For row or multibay configurations, see Middle Atlantic's gangable BGR enclosures available at creationnetworks.net.

What is the difference between the LRD door and a standard door?

The lever-release door uses a single-action cam latch that opens without tools. It sits flush against the frame, keeping the latch mechanism out of the cable pathway compared to standard handle-bar doors.
