Middle Atlantic KYLK Drawer Keylock for UD Series Rack Drawers

Overview

The Middle Atlantic KYLK is a replacement and add-on keylock designed specifically to secure UD Series rack drawers. If you're deploying rack-mounted storage in AV, security, or IT infrastructure environments where drawer access needs to be controlled — whether in a shared equipment room, public-facing kiosk rack, or any space with multiple technicians — the KYLK gives you a straightforward hardware-level lock without requiring a rack rebuild. It's a field-installable solution: no special tools, no rack downtime beyond the time it takes to fit the lock.

Compatibility and Fit

The KYLK is built exclusively for Middle Atlantic UD Series drawers — this is not a universal lock. Before ordering, confirm your drawer model carries the UD designation. The lock ships as a single unit (1 pc per pack), so order quantity to match the number of drawers you need to secure. The zinc construction and steel housing match the material profile of the UD Series drawer line, meaning the lock integrates visually and structurally without looking like an afterthought.

Key Features

• User-installable design: The KYLK can be fitted by the end user without depot service or factory return — useful when a project scope changes post-installation and drawer security becomes a requirement after the rack is already in the field.
• Steel housing with zinc finish: Commercial-grade metal construction holds up in equipment rooms that see regular access. The zinc finish resists corrosion in typical indoor rack environments.
• Rack-mount form factor: Designed to integrate cleanly with rack-mount storage and accessory drawers, maintaining a clean front panel without protruding hardware.
• Sold individually: Single-unit packaging means you can add locks to specific drawers rather than buying a kit with hardware you won't use.

Installation Notes

Because the KYLK is intended for the UD Series specifically, verify the target drawer model before ordering. Middle Atlantic's UD Series covers a range of rack drawers used in AV and network equipment enclosures — if you're working with a different Middle Atlantic drawer line, this lock will not fit. Installation requires no special tooling beyond what's standard for rack hardware work. For projects involving multiple secured drawers across a rack enclosure, calculate quantity per drawer and order accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. The KYLK is designed specifically for Middle Atlantic UD Series drawers. It is not a universal lock and will not fit other Middle Atlantic drawer lines or third-party rack drawers.

Q: Is the KYLK user-installable or does it require a technician?

A: It is designed to be user-installable. You can fit it in the field without returning the drawer to the factory or calling for a service technician.

Q: How many locks come in a pack?

A: The KYLK ships as a single unit — 1 lock per pack. Order one per drawer you need to secure.

Q: What material is the KYLK made from?

A: The housing is steel with a zinc finish, matching the commercial-grade construction of the UD Series drawer line.

Q: Can the KYLK be added to a drawer that's already installed in a rack?
