Middle Atlantic GRK-52-42HLRD – 52SP/42D GRK with H-Bars and LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic GRK-52-42HLRD is a 52-space, 42-inch-deep gangable rack with integrated H-bars for structured cable routing and a lever-release door for fast front access. The GRK series is Middle Atlantic's key-lock gangable rack line, providing both physical security and the flexibility of multi-bay side-by-side installations. With 52 rack spaces, this is one of the highest-capacity single-bay enclosures in the GRK family, designed for enterprise data centers, broadcast technical facilities, and large-scale AV infrastructure buildouts.

Product Description

The GRK-52-42HLRD delivers 52 rack spaces of mounting height in a 42-inch-deep enclosure, providing capacity for dense deployments of 1U and 2U servers, networking gear, AV processors, power distribution, and cable management hardware in a single bay. The H-bars are horizontal cable management bars integrated into the rack frame, providing organized routing points for patch cables, power cords, and signal cables across the full height of the enclosure. The lever-release door (LRD) allows single-hand, tool-free front access, reducing service time in environments where rack doors are opened frequently. The GRK series gangable design allows the GRK-52-42HLRD to bolt side-by-side with other GRK enclosures, forming a multi-bay installation with consistent panel alignment. Key-lock security on the GRK series provides controlled physical access without requiring padlocks or separate locking accessories. Welded steel construction supports the considerable static loads generated by a fully populated 52SP frame. EIA-standard 19-inch rail spacing provides compatibility with all standard rackmount equipment. The 42-inch depth accommodates full-length rack servers and the structured cabling infrastructure of complex installations. Available at creationnetworks.net.
