Middle Atlantic GRK-44-30HLRD – 44SP 30D Gangable Key-Lock Rack H-Bars LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic GRK-44-30HLRD is a 44-space, 30-inch-deep gangable rack enclosure with a key-lock mechanism, H-bar cable management, and a lever-release door for AV and IT infrastructure installations requiring enhanced cable organization and physical security. The GRK (Gangable Rack with Key-lock) series provides a locking front enclosure in a gangable form factor, addressing deployments where rack security is required alongside the flexibility to expand into a multi-bay row. H-bars provide dedicated horizontal cable management paths that keep signal and power cabling separated from rack unit equipment. The lever-release door allows tool-free front access without hinge swing in confined rack rows.

Product Description

The GRK-44-30HLRD combines three functional attributes that are individually common but less frequently offered together: gangability, a keyed front lock, and integrated H-bar cable management. At 44U, it is one of the larger single-bay rack enclosures in the GRK series, providing capacity for a comprehensive AV or IT system build without requiring two bays. The 30-inch interior depth accommodates deeper networking switches, signal processors, and structured cabling assemblies that would not fit comfortably in a 26- or 27-inch enclosure. The key-lock mechanism on the front panel adds a layer of physical security appropriate for shared spaces, open equipment rooms, or facilities where rack access must be restricted to authorized personnel. H-bars — horizontal cable management bars — provide fixed attachment points for cable bundles across the width of the rack interior, keeping cabling organized and separated from equipment mounted in rack spaces. The lever-release door (LRD) allows technicians to remove the front panel quickly without tools and without the hinge swing of a standard hinged door, a practical consideration in gangable rack rows where adjacent bay access is limited. Gangable construction allows the GRK-44-30HLRD to be bolted side-by-side with adjacent GRK bays for a continuous, rigid rack row. Available through Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are H-bars on a GRK rack?

H-bars are horizontal cable management bars mounted inside the rack enclosure. They provide fixed attachment points for cable bundles, keeping cabling organized and separated from equipment in adjacent rack spaces.

Can the GRK-44-30HLRD be ganged with other GRK units?

Yes. The GRK series is specifically engineered for gangable installation. Units bolt side-by-side to form a continuous, rigid rack row.

Does the key-lock come with keys?

Yes. The key-lock mechanism ships with keys. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for details on keying options.
