Middle Atlantic VWM Door W/plexi 36H X 10D White - VWM-SPD-3610-WT

Middle Atlantic VWM-SPD-3610-WT Split Plexi Front Door for VWM Wall Racks

Overview

The Middle Atlantic VWM-SPD-3610-WT is a 36-inch-tall split plexi front door designed specifically for the VWM series wall-mount rack enclosures in a 10-inch-deep configuration. Finished in a textured white powder coat, it pairs with VWM installations in environments where aesthetics matter — office suites, lobbies, healthcare corridors, and classrooms where the rack needs to blend into the architectural finish rather than stand out. The plexi panel delivers visible equipment status without opening the door, which matters when the rack is in a shared space. At 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg) of product weight and a 2-inch depth profile, it installs cleanly without adding bulk to an already wall-hugging enclosure.

Key Features

• Textured White Powder Coat Finish: Matches white-painted walls and AV furniture in commercial interiors — no need to repaint or apply a wrap. Specifically useful in K-12, healthcare, and hospitality installations where standard black racks would look out of place.
• Plexi-Glass Viewing Panel: Lets technicians confirm indicator lights and port status at a glance without unlocking the door. In a classroom AV rack or a nurse's station telecom enclosure, that's the difference between a 5-second visual check and a 2-minute investigation.
• 25mm x 150mm Swing Handle: Sized for comfortable one-hand operation, even in tight corridor installs where finger clearance against the wall is limited. The swing handle also provides a positive tactile confirmation that the door is latched — relevant in any installation where door ajar is a security or environmental concern.
• Steel and Plexi-Glass Construction: The steel frame holds its geometry under the 23.8 lb product weight without sagging over time — an important factor on hinged doors mounted vertically, where a warped frame eventually prevents full latching. The plexi panel resists casual impact better than standard acrylic.
• 2-Inch Depth Profile: The door adds only 2 inches (5.1 cm) to the front of the rack — critical when the VWM is mounted in a shallow alcove, inside a credenza cutout, or on a wall where ADA clearance limits projection depth.
• 36-Inch Height (91.4 cm): Covers the full face of a 10U equivalent VWM enclosure at this depth. Spec against the rack's RU count before ordering — the door height must match the rack body height exactly for proper hinge and latch alignment.
• TAA Compliant: Qualifies for federal, state, and municipal procurement under the Trade Agreements Act. If your project involves government facilities, public schools, or any federally funded AV infrastructure, this compliance avoids the waiver paperwork.
• RoHS and REACH Compliant: Meets EU hazardous substance restrictions — relevant for global deployments or multinational enterprise customers with standardized environmental compliance requirements.

Integration & Compatibility

The VWM-SPD-3610-WT is engineered for the Middle Atlantic VWM base series — the 36H x 10D dimension designators in the model number correspond directly to the rack enclosure size it fits. Verify your VWM enclosure's height (36 inches) and depth (10 inches) before ordering; Middle Atlantic produces multiple height and depth variants in the VWM line, and doors are not interchangeable across sizes. The white finish is available alongside matching VWM rack bodies and accessories, supporting a consistent color scheme across multi-rack or mixed AV/IT installations. The door ships as a standalone replacement or upgrade component, so existing VWM owners can swap a damaged door or convert from a solid panel to plexi without replacing the entire enclosure. The VWM-SPD-3610-WT (often searched as VWM SPD 3610 WT) ships internationally and is stocked as a standard catalog item within the VWM door accessory family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the VWM-SPD-3610-WT TAA compliant for government procurement?

A: Yes. The VWM-SPD-3610-WT is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal contracts and SEWP/GSA-type purchasing vehicles without requiring a TAA waiver.

Q: What rack enclosure does the VWM-SPD-3610-WT fit?

A: It is designed for Middle Atlantic VWM series wall-mount racks with a 36-inch height and 10-inch depth. The door dimensions are specific to this size — confirm your VWM enclosure matches both dimensions before purchasing.

Q: How much does the VWM-SPD-3610-WT weigh, and will my wall-mount rack handle it?

A: The door weighs 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg). Account for this when calculating the total load on the VWM wall mount, especially if the enclosure is already loaded with heavy equipment. The shipping weight is 35 lbs (15.9 kg) including packaging.

Q: Can I see equipment status through the door without opening it?

A: Yes. The plexi-glass panel allows visual confirmation of indicator lights and cable activity without unlocking or opening the door — useful in shared or public spaces where frequent access should be avoided.

Q: Is the VWM-SPD-3610-WT available for international shipment?

A: Yes. The product is listed as available internationally and carries RoHS and REACH compliance, supporting deployment in EU and other regulated markets.

Q: What handle does the VWM-SPD-3610-WT use?

A: It ships with a 25mm x 150mm swing handle, which provides a positive latch confirmation and comfortable one-hand operation even in installations with limited clearance.

James Everett

The VWM-SPD-3610-WT addresses a specific problem I run into on commercial AV installs: the client wants the VWM rack to disappear into a white-wall environment, and a black solid door immediately fails that test. The textured white powder coat on this door, combined with the 2-inch depth profile, lets the enclosure sit flush in a drywall niche or an open-plan office without drawing attention. At 23.8 lbs, it's not a light door — worth confirming your wall anchor load rating before the site visit, not during.

Technical Highlights:

• 2-Inch Door Depth: Adds only 5.1 cm to the front of the VWM enclosure — the difference between a door that clears a hallway ADA envelope and one that doesn't. Measure before you order if the rack is in a passage or alcove.
• 25mm x 150mm Swing Handle: Larger than the typical cam-latch you see on budget enclosures. The swing action gives a definitive closed-and-latched feel, which matters in school AV racks where students regularly test the door.
• TAA Compliance: Government and federally funded education projects require TAA-compliant hardware throughout. The VWM-SPD-3610-WT clears that bar without any sourcing exception, which simplifies procurement documentation on E-rate and similar programs.

Deployment Considerations:

• The door is sized specifically for the 36H x 10D VWM enclosure variant. Middle Atlantic makes multiple door heights — pulling the wrong SKU is a common field error. Cross-reference the enclosure model's H and D designators against this door before the order goes in.
• At 23.8 lbs of door weight plus the loaded rack, total wall-anchor load can exceed what a single-stud mount handles. Plan for a double-stud or backing-plate installation when specifying the VWM wall bracket alongside this door.

This door is the right call on healthcare corridor and K-12 AV rack installs where the enclosure faces a public space — the plexi panel lets facilities staff confirm equipment status without key access, while the white finish matches standard interior wall paint without a custom finish upcharge.
