Middle Atlantic 45SP BGR Rear Door - BGR-RD45

Middle Atlantic BGR-RD45 45SP Rear Door for BGR Open-Frame Racks

Overview

The Middle Atlantic BGR-RD45 is a 45-space rear door designed specifically for the BGR series open-frame rack line. If your deployment calls for converting a BGR open-frame rack into a partially enclosed cabinet — adding cable management discipline, airflow direction, or a measure of physical security to the rear of the rack — this is the direct-fit replacement or add-on door. It ships as a single unit (1 pc), finished in black powder-coat steel, and carries GREENGUARD certification, which matters in deployments inside schools, hospitals, or any environment with indoor air quality requirements.

Key Features

• 45-Space Height: Sized specifically for the full-height BGR series rack — installs without cutting or modification, and covers the full rear opening so you're not leaving exposed cable runs or equipment backs accessible.
• Steel Construction: The all-steel housing resists rack-room handling that would dent or flex thinner materials. For telecom closets and equipment rooms where the rack gets traffic, steel durability reduces long-term maintenance headaches.
• Black Powder-Coat Finish: Matches standard BGR rack aesthetics — relevant if you're building a uniform equipment room where mismatched finishes stand out to clients or inspectors.
• GREENGUARD Certified: Meets indoor air quality emissions standards, which is a real checkbox in healthcare, education, and government facility deployments where LEED compliance or procurement requirements specify low-VOC materials.
• Single-Pack Quantity: Ships as one door per unit — order multiples if you're outfitting a rack row or standardizing across a multi-rack installation.

Integration & Compatibility

The BGR-RD45 (often searched as BGR RD45) is engineered for the Middle Atlantic BGR open-frame rack series at 45 rack spaces. Before ordering, confirm your existing BGR rack's space count and rear opening dimensions match — the BGR series spans multiple heights and this door is specific to the 45SP configuration. It does not include locking hardware or vented panel inserts; if airflow management or keyed access is part of your design, verify those accessories separately within the Middle Atlantic rack accessories line.

For integrators building out rack systems for AV, security, or IT infrastructure, pairing the correct rear door with your BGR frame keeps the installation looking finished and meets facility requirements for enclosed rack deployments. Review Middle Atlantic's rack accessories catalog to confirm compatibility with your specific BGR model before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack series is the BGR-RD45 compatible with?

A: The BGR-RD45 is designed for Middle Atlantic's BGR open-frame rack series, specifically the 45-space (45SP) configuration. Confirm your rack's space count before ordering — other heights in the BGR line require a different rear door model.

Q: Is the BGR-RD45 GREENGUARD certified?

A: Yes. The BGR-RD45 carries GREENGUARD certification, making it suitable for deployments in environments with indoor air quality requirements such as schools, hospitals, and government facilities.

Q: What material is the BGR-RD45 constructed from?

A: The door is constructed from steel with a black finish — the same material and color profile as the BGR rack series it's designed to complement.

Q: How many doors are included per order?

A: One door (1 pc) per unit. For multi-rack installations, order the quantity that matches the number of BGR 45SP racks in your deployment.

Q: Does the BGR-RD45 include a lock or vented panel?

A: Based on available product evidence, locking hardware and vented inserts are not listed as included. Verify accessory compatibility with Middle Atlantic directly if these features are required for your installation.

The BGR-RD45 is a purpose-built rear door for Middle Atlantic's BGR 45-space open-frame racks — and the GREENGUARD certification is the detail most integrators overlook until a facility manager or procurement officer flags it. If you're installing into a healthcare or K-12 environment, that certification can be the difference between a clean sign-off and a materials review delay.

Technical Highlights:

• Steel Housing: Provides the structural rigidity needed in high-traffic equipment rooms — won't flex or dent the way lighter composite panels can when a rack gets bumped during a maintenance visit.
• GREENGUARD Certification: Directly addresses indoor air quality mandates in regulated environments — hospitals, schools, and government facilities increasingly require this as part of facility procurement standards.
• Black Finish: Matches BGR series rack aesthetics so the installation presents as a cohesive unit — a small but visible quality marker when client walkthroughs happen post-install.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the 45SP height matches your specific BGR rack before ordering — Middle Atlantic's BGR line spans multiple rack unit heights and the door is not cross-compatible between configurations.
• Locking mechanisms and vented panel options are not confirmed as included in evidence — build those into your accessory BOM separately if physical security or active airflow management is in scope.

The BGR-RD45 is the right call for integrators closing out a BGR open-frame rack build in a regulated facility environment where GREENGUARD compliance is a procurement requirement — it keeps the installation specification-clean without requiring a materials substitution mid-project.
