Middle Atlantic FD-44 Front Door - Black

Upgrade your rack space with the Middle Atlantic FD-44 Front Door in a sleek black finish. Built for reliability in demanding environments—from broadcast studios and control rooms to data centers and post-production suites—the FD-44 Front Door protects your equipment while preserving a clean, professional facade. This front door is designed to integrate seamlessly with Middle Atlantic 19" enclosures and the FD-44 family, delivering secure access, easy maintenance, and a streamlined appearance that complements the rest of your rack hardware. With durable steel construction, a rugged powder-coated finish, and precision engineering, the FD-44 Front Door offers long-lasting performance that rack professionals depend on for daily use and high-traffic deployments.

• Engineered from high-grade steel with a tough black powder-coated finish, the FD-44 Front Door delivers rugged durability that stands up to daily use in busy AV racks and data environments. The coating resists chips, scratches, and corrosion, helping to preserve a pristine appearance even in active studios or server rooms. The solid construction provides a reassuring, solid feel when you close and latch the door, giving you peace of mind that your gear is protected from dust and casual contact.
• Designed to balance security with aesthetics, this front door offers a clean, professional appearance that integrates seamlessly with Middle Atlantic enclosures. It provides secure access to the rack contents while maintaining a tidy, organized front-of-rack profile. The high-quality construction helps minimize flex and rattle when the cabinet is moved or relocated, contributing to a stable, quiet environment for sensitive equipment.
• Compatibility and fit are central to the FD-44. It is built to fit standard 19" rack enclosures and aligns precisely with the FD-44 series openings. The door's frame and mounting geometry are engineered to work with common rack hardware, making installation straightforward for technicians who already use Middle Atlantic accessories in their toolkit. The result is a visually consistent front that complements other components in your rack.
• Ease of installation is a hallmark, with precisely placed hinges and pre-drilled mounting holes that simplify alignment. The FD-44 Front Door typically offers reversible hinge options, enabling right- or left-hand door swing to suit your room layout and door clearance. This flexibility reduces the need for additional adapters or modifications during installation and delivers a professional look in either orientation.
• Durability for professional environments is a key benefit. The black finish hides fingerprints and dust, staying cleaner longer between maintenance cycles. The door is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent access in broadcast rooms, recording studios, or data centers, with minimal maintenance required. Its robust construction helps reduce wear on enclosure hinges and mounting points, preserving the integrity of your rack system over years of use.
