Middle Atlantic FD-16 – 16RU Solid Locking Front Rack Door

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic FD-16 is a 16-space solid front rack door that adds locking front access security to DWR, SWR, and EWR series wall-mount racks. A factory-installed keylock restricts access to installed equipment, making it a straightforward upgrade for AV racks in classrooms, retail back rooms, and shared equipment closets. The reversible hinge design lets installers set the door to swing left or right to suit the room layout, and the black textured powder coat finish matches Middle Atlantic rack enclosures.

Product Description

Securing front-of-rack access is one of the simplest ways to protect AV and IT equipment from tampering, accidental disconnection, and unauthorized changes. The Middle Atlantic FD-16 solid front door covers the full 16 rack spaces of a compatible enclosure with a single steel panel, concealing equipment faces and cabling from view. Because the door is solid rather than vented or plexi, it is the right choice when visual concealment matters more than front airflow or status-light visibility. Beveled corners give the door a clean, modern appearance that suits client-facing spaces such as conference rooms and lobbies. The included keylock provides basic physical security for AV racks in schools, offices, houses of worship, and retail environments where the rack sits in an accessible location. Installation is field-friendly: the door can be mounted to hinge from either the left or the right side, so integrators can plan door swing around adjacent walls, furniture, or other racks. The black textured powder coat finish resists scuffs and fingerprints and visually matches the host rack for a finished, built-in look. For integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic wall racks, the FD-16 pairs with 16-space DWR, SWR, and EWR series enclosures as a drop-on accessory that completes the installation.
