Middle Atlantic WRK-24-27LRD – 24SP 27D Multibay Wiring Rack with LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-24-27LRD is a 24-space, 27-inch-deep multibay wiring rack with a lever-release door, designed for AV and IT equipment rooms where gangable rack rows and tool-free front access are both requirements. The lever-release door (LRD) allows the front panel to be removed without tools and without hinge swing into adjacent bays or workspace. The 27-inch depth is well-matched to the majority of AV signal processing and networking hardware in standard equipment room builds. Gangable construction allows the WRK-24-27LRD to be mechanically joined to adjacent WRK bays for a continuous rack row.

Product Description

The WRK-24-27LRD is the lever-release door variant of the WRK-24-27, combining the 24U, 27-inch-deep WRK platform with a front door that removes without tools. In gangable rack row installations, the ability to remove a front panel without hinge swing is a meaningful operational advantage — technicians can access any bay without the door obstructing access to adjacent bays or requiring them to step around a hinged panel. The 27-inch interior depth accommodates the standard complement of AV rackmount gear: signal processors, audio DSPs, patch panels, video distribution equipment, and compact networking switches. Multibay (gangable) construction means the WRK-24-27LRD can be bolted side-by-side with adjacent WRK bays, creating a mechanically unified rack row with structural rigidity and a consistent visual profile across all bays. Internal cable management provisions support organized horizontal and vertical cable routing across the 24 rack spaces. EIA-310 rack spacing ensures compatibility with standard rackmount equipment from any manufacturer. The WRK series is Middle Atlantic's purpose-built wiring rack line for AV and IT infrastructure, balancing structural integrity, cable management, and practical access for the environments where this equipment is actually serviced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between WRK-24-27LRD and WRK-24-27?

The WRK-24-27LRD adds a lever-release door for tool-free front panel removal without hinge swing. The WRK-24-27 has an open front with no door. Both are 24U, 27-inch-deep, multibay WRK wiring racks.

What is the difference between WRK-24-27LRD and WRK-24SA-27LRD?

The WRK-24-27LRD is a multibay (gangable) unit designed to bolt side-by-side with other WRK bays. The WRK-24SA-27LRD is a single-bay standalone enclosure. Both have the lever-release door and 27-inch depth.

Can the WRK-24-27LRD be mixed in a row with WRK-24-32LRD bays?

Mixing different depths in a gangable row is generally not recommended as it creates depth inconsistencies at the front and rear. Verify compatibility with your distributor or contact Creation Networks.
