2U Rack Mount Drawer with Combination Lock - Secure 19in Rack Storage

Our review of the 2U Rack Mount Drawer finds it best suited for technicians, DJs, and IT pros who need a compact, secure space inside a standard 19in rack. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in mechanical combination lock paired with a padded interior, which keeps small tools, adapters and fragile accessories secure without relying on a key. The drawer mounts in a 2U slot and offers sensible capacity and sturdy construction for routine rack use.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Fits standard 19in server racks, enclosures and cabinets with an overall footprint of about 12.28in D x 19.37in W x 3.5in H for straightforward installation.
• Mechanical Combination Lock: Uses a changeable combination instead of a key to reduce lost-key risk and allow shared access without extra hardware.
• Adequate Interior Space: The internal cavity of roughly 11.65in D x 14.05in W x 2.87in H holds up to 22 lbs, enough for cables, tools and small AV accessories.
• Durable Construction: Built from steel with a black powder-coated finish and rounded edges to resist wear and reduce accidental cuts during handling.
• Easy Installation: Includes instructions and an allen wrench, and mounts using actual hole spacing near 2.95in H x 18.3in W for most standard racks.

Who It's For

This drawer is a practical option for IT staff, system integrators and entertainers who need a low-profile locked compartment inside a rack for loose items, spare drives, dongles and small tools. The mechanical lock and foam pad make it particularly useful where quick, keyless access and gentle storage are priorities.

Those who need large-capacity storage, full-width sliding shelves, or heavy-duty load capacity should look elsewhere; the drawer is designed for lightweight items up to 22 lbs and occupies only a 2U rack space.
