NavePoint Rack Mount Drawer 19-In Rack 3U Black - Secure Storage

Our review of the NavePoint Rack Mount Drawer finds it a practical, secure storage option for technicians, small server rooms, and DJs who need a shallow, lockable compartment inside a standard 19 in rack. The biggest reason to consider it is straightforward: it converts unused rack space into an enclosed, lockable drawer that keeps tools, cables, and small accessories out of sight yet within reach. Its 14 in depth and 3U height make it a space-conscious choice when deeper drawers or shelving are not an option.

Key Features

• 19 in compatibility: Mounts to any standard 19 in rack so it fits common server cabinets and DJ flight cases without modification.
• 3U, 14 in depth: The 3U height and 14 in internal depth balance usable volume with low-profile rack use for tight spaces.
• Locking drawer: Includes a built-in lock and two keys for secure storage of supplies, software media, or small tools.
• Durable construction: Powder coated heavy duty steel resists scratches and provides a solid enclosure for repeated use.
• Inset handle and included screws: The inset handle keeps the face flush in a rack, and rack screws are supplied for faster installation.

Who It's For

Techs managing network closets, audio engineers working in portable racks, and small IT departments will appreciate the NavePoint drawer for organizing small parts, patch cables, spare drives, and documentation while keeping them locked away. It is especially useful where rack depth is limited and a conventional cabinet drawer would not fit.

Those who need deep storage for larger equipment or full-length tools should look elsewhere, since this unit is purposely compact at 14 in depth and 3U height. Users who require advanced locking systems or electronic access control will also need a different product, as this model uses a mechanical lock with two keys.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, powder coated steel construction offers long-term durability in racks and flight cases.
• Lock with two keys adds physical security for small, sensitive items.
• Compact 3U profile and 14 in depth fit into shallow racks where full drawers will not.
• Includes rack screws and an inset handle for clean installation and low-profile appearance.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed experiences with the lock functionality, so buyers should inspect the lock on arrival.
• A few reports mention the mounting ear arriving bent, so check the mounting ears before installation.
