How to install Middle Atlantic Plexi Front Door, Non-Vented for DRK

• Prepare the DRK rack: Ensure the cabinet is fully assembled and the mounting rails are accessible. Confirm there is a clear path for door installation and that the door width matches the rack’s 19" mounting profile.

• Align mounting points: Position the Plexi Front Door so that its hinge holes line up with the corresponding mounting points on the DRK frame. Use a level to ensure the door sits square to the rack face for smooth opening and closing.
• Attach the door: Secure the door to the rack with the appropriate screws or hardware supplied by the manufacturer. Tighten evenly to avoid misalignment, taking care not to overtighten and risk cracking the Plexi panel.
• Test operation and seal: Open and close the door to verify smooth hinge action and proper alignment. Ensure there are no rub points against the frame and that the door maintains a clean seal against dust when closed.
