Claytek 4U Sliding Drawer with Key Lock
Designed for professional IT environments, the Claytek WA-DWR4UB sliding drawer occupies 4U of a standard 19-inch rack, delivering secure storage for essential tools, diagnostic gear, spare components, and cable adapters. Built to meet the demands of system technicians, this drawer blends rugged practicality with space-efficient design to support daily maintenance, urgent repairs, and routine upgrades without sacrificing organization or security. The drawer’s robust steel construction, powder-coated finish, and precise sliding mechanism are engineered to perform reliably in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and remote equipment bays—where access control and quick availability are critical. A retractable handle keeps the profile compact when not in use, preventing interference with neighboring equipment and maintaining a sleek, professional rack appearance. The key lock protects sensitive tools and components from unauthorized access, helping facilities managers enforce security policies while enabling authorized technicians to move quickly during incidents or scheduled maintenance. Whether you’re performing firmware updates, swapping failed components, or conducting on-site diagnostics, this 4U sliding drawer provides a dedicated, organized workspace that improves productivity, reduces downtime, and extends the life of your rack-mounted toolkit.
- 4U rack compatibility and optimized space – Specifically designed to fit in 4U of a standard 19-inch rack, the Claytek drawer consolidates essential tools and components into a ready-to-access bin. This compact, purpose-built storage solution keeps frequently used instruments, cables, testers, and spare parts at your fingertips, freeing valuable bench space and reducing the time spent searching for the right tool during maintenance tasks. Its streamlined footprint makes it ideal for crowded data centers, telecom closets, and remote rack locations where every inch counts.
- Secure access with a key lock – The integrated keyed locking mechanism provides controlled access to the drawer contents. This security feature is particularly valuable in shared facilities or multi-tenant environments where unauthorized access must be minimized. With the key lock, authorized technicians can perform maintenance confidently, while sensitive tools and components stay protected when the rack is unattended. The lock reinforces operational security without complicating daily workflows.
- Retractable handle for tight spaces – A smart, retractable handle design keeps the drawer flush when closed and fully accessible when opened. This space-saving feature is especially beneficial in dense rack layouts where protruding hardware can impede airflow, cable management, or adjacent equipment. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip for rapid tool retrieval, enabling technicians to work efficiently in constrained installations without sacrificing leverage or control.
- Durable construction for demanding environments – Built to endure the rigors of data centers and field deployments, the WA-DWR4UB uses heavy-gauge steel with a durable powder-coated finish. The robust construction resists impact, dust, and humidity commonly present in IT environments, preserving drawer integrity and ensuring long-term reliability. A smooth, ball-bearing slide system delivers steady, quiet operation under load, reducing wear on both the drawer and rack rails over time.
- Designed for daily maintenance and rapid response – This 4U sliding drawer keeps essential tools within arm’s reach for routine maintenance, servicing, and incident response. By organizing tools, spare components, and diagnostic gear in a dedicated drawer, technicians experience faster setup, fewer misplaced items, and quicker access during critical outages. The combination of secure locking, space-efficient design, and reliable sliding action translates to tangible improvements in productivity and uptime across data centers, server rooms, and on-site IT deployments.
