Middle Atlantic Solid Front Door Fits 16 Space Racks Black Textured Powder Coat Finish - FD-16

Middle Atlantic FD-16 Solid Front Door for 16U Racks

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FD-16 is a solid steel front door sized for 16-space (16U) rack enclosures. At 28.87 in tall and 20.04 in wide with a 1.39 in depth profile, it mounts flush against the rack frame without consuming usable rack space. The textured black powder coat finish resists scuffs in active equipment rooms, and the included keylock keeps panel access controlled in shared or semi-public deployments — relevant anywhere unauthorized front-of-rack access is a concern. This is a field-installable door, not a rack — you are adding physical access control and panel protection to an existing open-frame or partially enclosed enclosure.

Compatibility

The FD-16 is designed for the Middle Atlantic Middle Atlantic DWR series rack enclosures in the 16U size configuration. Verify your existing rack is a DWR-series unit before ordering — the mounting interface, hinge points, and overall dimensions are specific to that product family. If your installation uses a different rack series such as SWR or EWR, Middle Atlantic offers finish and door variants matched to those frames; the FD-16 is not a cross-series universal fit. Confirm the 16U count matches your rack's actual frame height — a 16U door will not align correctly on a 12U or 20U chassis. See the full rack accessories category for companion panels, blanks, and side panels that complete the enclosure build-out.

Installation Notes

The door ships at 16.4 lbs — account for that during solo installs when aligning hinge pins. The 1.39 in depth adds minimally to the rack's front footprint, but verify clearance in tight alcoves or wall-mount scenarios before installation. The keylock is included; no separate hardware kit is required for basic door attachment to a compatible DWR-series frame.
