Middle Atlantic BGR-RD – Perforated Rear Door for BGR Racks

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic BGR-RD series is a fully perforated rear door for BGR Series enclosures, built from steel with a black finish and 25% open area for equipment airflow. The reversible design can be hinged right or left, giving integrators flexibility in tight equipment rooms and multi-rack rows. The series covers BGR rack heights from 19 RU through 45 RU, so a matching rear door is available for every BGR enclosure in a deployment.

Product Description

Rear access and thermal management are two of the most common pain points in commercial AV rack integration, and the BGR-RD rear door addresses both. Its fully perforated steel panel provides 25% open area, allowing rack-mounted amplifiers, network switches, and processors to exhaust heat through the rear of the enclosure while keeping cabling and connections secured behind a closed door. The black finish matches the BGR Series enclosure family for a consistent appearance across equipment rooms and rack rows.

Installation flexibility is designed in: the door can be hinged on either the right or left side, so technicians can plan door swing around walls, adjacent racks, and service aisles. That reversibility matters in retrofit projects where an existing room layout dictates access clearances. The series is sized by rack height — BGR-RD19 for 19 RU, BGR-RD25 for 25 RU, BGR-RD38 for 38 RU, BGR-RD41 for 41 RU, and BGR-RD45 for 45 RU enclosures — which makes specification straightforward when completing a BGR rack build or replacing a damaged door in the field. Browse our Middle Atlantic collection for matching BGR racks, rack rail, and accessories to complete the installation.
