Middle Atlantic BFD-19 Solid Front Door for BGR Series Racks
Overview
The Middle Atlantic BFD-19 is a 19RU solid front door designed as a direct replacement or add-on panel for BGR-series open-frame and enclosed racks. At 36.22 in tall and 21.85 in wide with a 1.41 in depth profile, the BFD-19 closes off rack fronts where airflow control, cable concealment, or basic physical access deterrence is needed — common in AV equipment rooms, security head-end closets, and network infrastructure spaces. The textured black powder coat finish blends with standard rack hardware and resists minor scuffs in working environments. Integrated handles are included, so door swing and removal during servicing don't require separate hardware.
Compatibility
The BFD-19 is engineered specifically for Middle Atlantic BGR-series racks. Verify your BGR rack's RU count and frame dimensions before ordering — the BFD-19 spans 19 RU and requires a matching BGR frame footprint (21.85 in wide opening). It is not a universal door and will not fit WRK, ERK, or other Middle Atlantic series without confirming frame compatibility against Middle Atlantic's fit guide. If your rack is a different Middle Atlantic series or a third-party frame, confirm the opening width and hinge-mounting pattern against BGR specifications before purchasing.
Installation Notes
Shipping weight is 20 lbs (9.1 kg) — plan for two-person handling during initial mounting on taller rack configurations. The 1.41 in depth adds minimal front clearance demand, but measure available front-of-rack clearance in tight equipment rooms before installing, particularly when racks are positioned close to walls or service corridors. Hinge and latch hardware installation should follow Middle Atlantic's BGR door-mount procedure; no special tooling beyond standard rack installation tools is documented in available evidence.
