how to install Middle Atlantic GCLVFRD-48 Door Panel

• Confirm compatibility with your rack or enclosure that is designed to accommodate a 48U door panel—ensure mounting holes and frame dimensions align with the enclosure specifications.
• Remove or loosen any existing front-door hardware if you are replacing an older panel, taking care to keep track of screws or guides used by your current setup.
• Position the GCLVFRD-48 so that mounting points align with the enclosure’s frame. Begin by securing the top mounting points and then progress to the bottom, ensuring the panel sits flush against the frame for a clean, uniform front.
• Use appropriate mounting hardware compatible with your enclosure and rack rails. If hardware is not included with the door panel, source the correct screws and anchors specified by your enclosure’s manufacturer to maintain proper threading and load distribution.
• Check door operation after installation. Open and close the door to confirm smooth swinging action, proper alignment, and a secure latch. If necessary, make minor adjustments to hinges or strike plates to achieve optimal performance and a tight seal against dust and contaminants.
