NavePoint 12U Wall Mount Server Rack with Swing Gate – Black Steel Rack for 19 Inch Servers, AV & Networking Equipment – 24″ Deep, 12U, 110 lbs Weight Capacity

Its good but the main screw are too tight, had to struggle with 2-3 of them to fit. Almost gave up and return. If not feel sturdy.

[Rating lowered after 16 months of use – see comments towards end.]The product comes well-packaged with clear instructions and each different type of fastener conveniently placed in separate clearly labeled baggies. The horizontal bars each attach with a pair of M5 (horizontal) and a pair of M4 (vertical) screws at each junction.As others have noted, the threaded holes have paint in them and the soft steel of the screws can have a difficult time cutting through. Unfortunately, I didn’t have an M5 tap available and thought it would be okay as long as I was careful. That was true for 7 of the 8 M5s and all 8 of the M4s but despite being forewarned, I still managed to mess up one M5. Grr…This wouldn’t be a problem if they supplied hex, Allen, or Robertson screws but Philips screws really are the worst choice (well, after a slot screw I suppose). At least the extra soft steel used for the screws means that the screw is damaged instead of the threaded hole – that would have been really annoying.The spring-loaded hinge pins look rather thin for the application and it is a difficult to fully engage them. Generally, I can get one into the lock position easily enough but the second requires much more effort. I thought that this must mean that the receiving brass inserts were cocked but I was careful to seat them completely using a c-clamp and a block of wood.[Update 2025-12-15]I have had the rack installed for about 16 months so far and it does what I need it to do but just barely.When I swing the front open for maintenance, (such as cable management), I find that the weight of the equipment deforms the front enough that the bottom shelf rubs against the side arm (see second picture). This shelf isn’t supposed to be structural but has turned out to help.The shelf is 17″ deep but because of the hinging design, the deepest equipment that you can install is 15″. This makes it pretty much impossible for me to install a 4U server chassis. Navepoint’s website shows a 24″ deep model that looks nearly identical. That might have been a better choice but the extra 7″ means that the hinge side would deform much more.Given that I wanted to mount the rack off the basement floor and yet still have good access to the rear of my equipment, the hinging design is a fair compromise. But it really isn’t rigid enough for a large amount of equipment. Knowing what I know now, I would give more consideration to a case with strong slide-out shelves and rails for everything 19″ wide. That would definitely be quite a bit more expensive however.So far, I’m content with the purchase but I wish it was more rigid and that the manufacturer would provide appropriate screws.

I was not expecting this to have been this high quality material. This thing is heavy, and I am honestly afraid to hang it on the wall, even with studs. Not a problem though as I have this sitting on a desk, which gives me even easier access than if I were to mount it on a wall. If you want a solid server rack, this is the one for you. My only complaint is that not everything fits perfectly, or I had to fight everything to piece together. The directions were good, but it was hard to figure out which piece it’s referring to, but it made sense after I screwed up and had to disassemble it, and start over. The one thing I couldn’t make work is having both locking latches for the swinging door to fit into their place. I could only get one to latch, however, I really only need one anyways. I still recommend this, because it’s a solid server rack!
