The RackPath vertical server rack rails are designed to mount your network and telecom equipment such as servers, routers, patch panels and PDUs securely. Multiple sized mounting holes along the entire length of each rail allow for installation in virtually any build. Rails can easily attach to desks, wooden frames, or other DIY projects. Rails are made of heavy duty cold rolled steel with a durable black electro-static powder coated finish and designed with rounded corners. Silk-screened rack unit measurements and pre-tapped 12-24 threading holes allow for easy installation of any rack mountable equipment. All equipment mounting hardware is included.

I had the same trouble most other people had and the screws do not fit and/or the holes are not tapped properly. Could just be the finish filled in all the threads but either way that's something that shouldn't be overlooked and wouldn't be that hard to remedy in your process of manufacture.They are heavy duty and they do look amazing but that one small detail loses them two stars

Brackets are good, it would have been better if the number labels went the other direction. The acres that are sent are the wrong size. The size of screws needed are 10-32 and I believe they come with 12-32 screws.

I don’t usually write reviews, but these things are terrible. The alignment of the screw holes was off between the pair of rails. The screws that came with the unit were poorly finished and almost impossible to get started, and once in strip easily. Several of the tap holes were mis-threaded. I’d like to think that they had a bad day, but I ordered 3 sets of these and they were pretty much all the same.

I used these RackPath 12U Vertical Server Rack Rails to build custom audio racks for my mom's church, and they worked well for mounting the equipment. Just a heads-up: these aren’t standard server rack rails, so cage nuts won’t work, but they do come with screws. I recommend threading the screws into each hole once before adding your gear, as some holes didn’t feel properly threaded at first, but this helped set them up smoothly. Overall, great rails for DIY projects with a few adjustments!

I was wanting to mount some studio equipment but not wanting yet another piece of furniture. I use a repurposed entertainment unit (remember those?) around my desk as it provides good shelf space within easy reach. The shelf width is close to the industry standard for equipment racks (19"). This item was the perfect way to make the conversion by supplying the rack functionality to an existing structure. I'm thinking that was the genius impetus that drove this into existence from the start.Because of its "do-it-yourself" nature however, care and at least some mechanical ability / accuracy of workmanship is necessary. If this does not describe you then perhaps enlisting the aid of one talented in these areas would be beneficial.The good: Low cost STURDY, heavy-gauge steel. Simple design, and comes with the hardware needed to install it to existing cabinetry while also providing the hardware to mount equipment to the finished rack (that was a huge bonus). The finished product looks fantastic and performs equally well.There really is no "bad", but I will say caveats: There is a saying, "measure twice, cut once". While there is probably no cutting involved, I would say, "Measure twice, then measure again". Remember learning fractions in school and wondering when you'd ever need it? Well, this is where you need it. If your existing spacing will not provide the 19" screw hole to screw hole (center on) spacing once these rails are installed, then one will need to add spacers or shims to get to that spacing. I painted mine flat black to disappear behind the rails.Also, the supplied hardware to mount it to a wood shelf unit may lack the robustness necessary for heavy equipment loads. If one needs to fill depth or shim for standard spacing, then longer hardware may be needed. Also, the parts are metric but most furniture in the U.S. is dimensioned in inches and fractions. This only seemed to matter when getting longer bolts to attach the racks. Finally, leave about a 1/2" or so gap from the bottom of your install to allow for cords or extended equipment fascia.

Screws included are not even the right size & thread. Threads on the rack rails are stripping without any abuse with regular 10-32 rack screws.Edit : Only to find out it is using 12-24 which is not rackmount standard.

The racks appear to be good quality, however; the powder coat finish made the threads bind. I spent about an hour with a tap to clean all of the holes before I installed the rails in a cabinet. Would also be better if they came with plastic washers for the gear attachment screws. I had to source those locally.

Updating my reviewThey're server rack rails - and that's exactly what the description says they are -I wanted audio rack rails and didn't read the description close enough,bought them and then posted a mildly negative review. Updating the review to 5 stars because they ARE exactly as advertised! The only issue was my failure to read the description!fwiw, Audio rails are #10 screws, These are #12 and I needed #10.Know what you want, read the ad, get the right thing. I didn't. My fault. Duohh!
