Middle Atlantic MW-RD – Solid Rear Door for MRK & WRK Racks

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic MW-RD Series is a line of solid rear doors built for Middle Atlantic MRK and WRK series equipment racks, with select sizes also fitting VRK racks. Each door encloses the rear of the rack to secure installed equipment and present a clean, finished look in commercial deployments. The series spans five rack heights — 24, 37, 40, 44, and 54 rack units — so integrators can match the door to the rack already on site. As a factory accessory, the MW-RD installs as part of new rack builds or as a field upgrade to existing enclosures.

Product Description

An open rack back leaves cabling, power distribution, and connected equipment exposed to dust, tampering, and accidental contact. The MW-RD solid rear door closes off the rear of the rack, protecting terminations and patching while keeping the equipment room looking professional. Because the door is solid rather than vented, it suits installations where rear airflow is managed by other means or where physical security and a sealed appearance take priority; Middle Atlantic offers vented rear door alternatives for thermally demanding loads. Selecting the correct model is straightforward: the model suffix corresponds to the rack height in rack units, so a 44-space MRK rack takes the MW-RD-44. AV integrators specify these doors for everything from compact 24-space credenza-adjacent racks to full-height 54-space equipment enclosures. The door is a direct-fit accessory for the MRK and WRK rack families, which are widely deployed in commercial AV, broadcast, and IT environments. For rack integration projects, pairing the rear door with matching front doors and side panels completes the enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Middle Atlantic racks are MW-RD doors compatible with?
The MW-RD series is designed for Middle Atlantic MRK and WRK series racks, and select sizes such as the MW-RD-44 are also listed for VRK racks. Verify your rack series and height before ordering.

How do I choose the right size?
Match the model suffix to your rack's height in rack units — for example, the MW-RD-37 fits a 37-space MRK or WRK rack.

Is this door vented?
No. The MW-RD is a solid rear door. If your equipment load requires rear airflow, Middle Atlantic offers vented rear door alternatives for the same rack families.

Can I add this door to a rack that is already installed?
Yes. The MW-RD is a standard rack accessory and can be fitted to compatible MRK and WRK racks in the field as well as during initial rack integration.

Does a solid rear door affect equipment cooling?
A solid door encloses the rear of the rack, so your thermal plan should account for it. Confirm your ventilation strategy or consider a vented door if rear exhaust airflow is required.

Is the MW-RD covered by a warranty?
Middle Atlantic rack accessories are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details and support on your specific installation.
