FAQ
- What wall construction is required for mounting?
- The DWR-21-17 should be mounted to wall studs or solid blocking rated to support the weight of the rack and its equipment load. Follow Middle Atlantic's installation instructions for anchor requirements.
- Does a door come included?
- The base unit ships without a door. Compatible front doors are available as separate accessories from Middle Atlantic.
- Can this rack be surface-mounted on drywall?
- Drywall anchors alone are not sufficient. The rack must be anchored to studs, blocking, or a backing board rated for the load.
- What is the difference between the DWR-21-17 and the DWR-18-22?
- The DWR-21-17 offers more rack spaces (21U) at a shallower depth (17 inches), while the DWR-18-22 provides 18U at 22 inches deep. Choose based on your equipment depth and space requirements.
