Middle Atlantic 24SP Mrk/wrk Rear Door - MW-RD-24

Middle Atlantic MW-RD-24 24U Rear Door for MRK/WRK Rack Enclosures

Overview

The Middle Atlantic MW-RD-24 is a replacement or upgrade rear door engineered specifically for Middle Atlantic MRK and WRK series 24-rack-unit enclosures. At 43.06 inches tall and 19.44 inches wide, it fills the full rear opening of a standard 24U rack frame — eliminating cable-access gaps and providing a finished, managed rear face on your enclosure. If you're completing a new MRK/WRK build or replacing a damaged panel, the MW-RD-24 is the correct fit for the 24U footprint.

This door ships at 17.18 lbs, reflecting the structural weight expected from commercial-grade rack hardware — light enough for a single installer to handle, substantial enough to stay aligned under repeated access cycles. The installed depth adds just 1.22 inches (3.1 cm) to the rear of the enclosure, keeping the rack's total footprint predictable when planning wall clearance or room layout.

Key Features

• 24U (43.06 in / 109.4 cm) height: Dimensioned to cover the full rear opening of MRK and WRK 24-rack-unit enclosures with no gaps — critical when cable management or airflow containment is a requirement in your rack room or closet.
• 19.44 in (49.4 cm) width: Matches the standard 19-inch rack footprint plus enclosure side clearance on MRK/WRK frames — no trimming, no shimming, no field modification required.
• 1.22 in (3.1 cm) installed depth: Minimal rear protrusion keeps wall-to-rack clearance requirements tight — relevant when you're working in shallow IDF closets or wall-mount configurations where every inch behind the rack matters.
• 17.18 lb shipping weight: Single-technician lift for most installs. Factor this into truck-roll planning when servicing multiple racks in the same visit.
• MRK and WRK base series compatibility: Designed for Middle Atlantic's MRK (Markerboard) and WRK (Workbench) enclosure families — confirm your enclosure series before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Integration and Compatibility

The MW-RD-24 (often searched as MW RD 24) is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic MRK and WRK rack enclosure series in the 24U configuration. Before ordering, verify the U-count and series of your existing enclosure — Middle Atlantic offers rear doors across multiple rack unit sizes, and selecting the wrong U-count will result in a non-fitting panel. This door is not a universal fit; it is a series-specific component. If your enclosure is a different U-height or a different Middle Atlantic series (such as the BGR or SNAP), a different rear door SKU applies. Consult the rack enclosure category to cross-reference compatible frames, or review the broader Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure line for matching components including side panels, front doors, and rack accessories.

For integrators deploying structured AV or security rack systems, pairing this door with a matching rack power distribution unit and cable management accessories within the same MRK/WRK frame creates a complete, serviceable enclosure. Planning your rear-access strategy before finalizing rack depth is worth the upfront time — the MW-RD-24's 1.22-inch depth profile makes it compatible with most standard rack room clearance guidelines, but always verify against your specific wall or cabinet depth constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack enclosure series is the MW-RD-24 compatible with?

A: The MW-RD-24 is designed for Middle Atlantic MRK (Markerboard) and WRK (Workbench) series rack enclosures in the 24U configuration. It is not a universal rear door — verify your enclosure series and U-count before ordering.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the MW-RD-24?

A: The MW-RD-24 measures 43.06 inches (109.4 cm) in height, 19.44 inches (49.4 cm) in width, and adds 1.22 inches (3.1 cm) of depth when installed on the rear of the enclosure.

Q: How much does the MW-RD-24 weigh?

A: The MW-RD-24 ships at 17.18 lbs (7.8 kg). This is the shipping weight; installed weight will be slightly less without packaging.

Q: Does the MW-RD-24 fit a 24U rack from another manufacturer?

A: No. The MW-RD-24 is engineered specifically for Middle Atlantic MRK and WRK series enclosures. Physical dimensions may not match third-party rack frames, and mounting points are series-specific.

Q: Is the MW-RD-24 a solid or vented rear door?

A: The available evidence does not specify whether this door is solid or vented. Contact the manufacturer or review the current Middle Atlantic product page for finish and ventilation details before purchase if airflow is a requirement.

The MW-RD-24 is a series-specific rear door — and that specificity is exactly the point. At 43.06 inches tall and just 1.22 inches of added depth, it closes out the rear of a 24U MRK or WRK enclosure cleanly without pushing the rack further from the wall. That 1.22-inch depth spec matters more than most buyers realize at the planning stage.

Technical Highlights:

• 43.06 in (109.4 cm) height: Full-coverage fit for 24U MRK/WRK frames — no partial coverage, no need for filler panels below or above the door.
• 1.22 in (3.1 cm) installed depth: Keeps total rack depth predictable — critical in IDF closets where wall clearance is measured in inches, not feet.
• 17.18 lb shipping weight: Single-tech installation is practical; no need to schedule a two-person crew just to hang this door.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your enclosure is MRK or WRK series and 24U specifically before ordering — Middle Atlantic doors are not interchangeable across U-counts or enclosure families, and a wrong-size return adds lead time to your project.
• The evidence does not confirm ventilation type (solid vs. vented) — if your rack is thermally loaded with active equipment, verify the door's airflow characteristics with the manufacturer before committing to this SKU.

Best suited for 24U MRK/WRK deployments in structured cabling rooms, security head-end closets, or AV equipment racks where a clean rear enclosure and predictable depth profile are the primary requirements.
