Middle Atlantic VWM-SPD-4216-BW Split Plexi Front Door, 42U x 16D, Black
Overview
The VWM-SPD-4216-BW is a split plexi front door designed for Middle Atlantic Middle Atlantic VWM series wall-mount rack enclosures. At 42 inches tall and 16 inches deep, this door addresses a common field problem: you need front access to equipment without fully removing the door panel, and you need a clear view of indicator lights and display panels without opening anything. The plexi-glass viewing panel delivers both — status visibility at a glance, steel perimeter for physical security. The black wrinkle powder coat finish matches standard Middle Atlantic VWM enclosure aesthetics. The VWM-SPD-4216-BW ships TAA-compliant, making it a valid choice for government and federally funded installations where procurement compliance matters. At 27.7 lbs product weight, plan for two-person installation on wall-mount enclosures already loaded with equipment.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic VWM series wall-mount enclosures in the 42U x 16D configuration. Verify your enclosure's height (42U / 42 inches) and depth (16 inches) before ordering — VWM doors are not interchangeable across depth variants. The split-door design is a drop-in replacement or upgrade for VWM enclosures originally shipped with a solid or single-panel front door. If your enclosure is a different U-height or depth (e.g., 37U, 21D), this door will not fit; consult the VWM accessory matrix for the correct SKU. The 25mm x 150mm swing handle is integrated — no separate handle kit required. Material construction is steel and plexi-glass; the door is RoHS-compliant and carries TSCA and Prop 65 documentation for installations in regulated environments.
Installation Notes
Product weight is 27.7 lbs (12.6 kg); shipping weight is 47 lbs (21.3 kg) with packaging. Two-person lift is advisable when fitting to a loaded wall-mount enclosure. Depth specification of 2 inches refers to door panel depth — confirm VWM enclosure door-frame clearance before mounting in tight chase or alcove installations. Finish is black wrinkle powder coat; avoid abrasive cleaning agents that degrade the texture over time.
