Middle Atlantic FD-44 – 44 Space Solid Front Door, Universal

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic FD-44 is a universal 44-space solid front door that adds locking security and a finished appearance to compatible Middle Atlantic rack enclosures, including ERK, MRK, and WRK Series racks. The door includes a keylock and installs to hinge either right or left, giving installers flexibility in equipment rooms and closets. Beveled corners and a black textured powder coat finish keep the rack presentation clean and consistent with the rest of the Middle Atlantic enclosure line.

Product Description

In commercial AV integration, an unlocked rack is an open invitation for unauthorized adjustments, and the FD-44 solid front door closes that gap on 44-space enclosures. The solid panel hides equipment faces and front-panel controls behind a keylocked door, protecting amplifiers, DSPs, network switches, and source gear in spaces shared with staff, students, or the public. For facilities and IT managers, that means fewer mystery setting changes and a tidier appearance wherever racks are visible.

The FD-44 is built for practical installation. It can be mounted to hinge from the right or the left, so door swing can be planned around adjacent racks, walls, and service aisles — a meaningful detail in retrofit projects where room layout is fixed. Beveled corners give the door a modern profile, and the black textured powder coat finish stands up to daily contact in busy equipment rooms. As a universal 44-space door compatible with Middle Atlantic ERK, MRK, and WRK Series racks, it works for new rack builds and as a field-installed upgrade to racks already in service.

Which racks does the FD-44 fit?
The FD-44 is a universal 44-space solid front door for compatible Middle Atlantic enclosures, including ERK, MRK, and WRK Series racks. Confirm your rack model and space count before ordering, or ask Creation Networks to verify fit.

Is a lock included with the door?
Yes. The FD-44 includes a keylock so you can secure rack-mounted AV and IT equipment against tampering.

Can I choose which side the door hinges on?
Yes. The door installs to hinge right or left, letting you set the swing direction around walls, adjacent racks, and service clearances.

Will a solid door affect equipment cooling?

Yes. It suits both new rack builds and field installation on compatible 44-space racks already deployed.
