As rack power density climbs from 4 kW to 140 kW+, cabinet hardware becomes a reliability-critical layer — not an afterthought. WINT covers the full stack.
① IP65 Cabinet Locks
O-ring cam locks, compression locks and solenoid locks validated to IP54–IP65. 10,000+ cycle life. Keyed-alike, master-key and electronic access control options.
② Heavy-Duty Hinges
Load classes from 150 kg to 400 kg per door. Stainless steel pins, zinc-flake coating, sag <1 mm after 50,000 cycles. Designed for manifold-equipped liquid-cooled doors.
③ Sealing & Airflow
EPDM and silicone gaskets with compression-set resistance ≤25%. Blanking panels and EMI spring fingers for hot-aisle containment and electromagnetic shielding.
④ Custom Sheet Metal / CNC
CDU housings, manifold brackets, cold plate covers, busbar mounts. Laser cut, CNC machined, stamped and welded. Tolerances to ±0.1 mm.
Three-step selection for data center buyers: cabinet type → IP rating → access control level.
| Cabinet / Scenario | IP Rating | Recommended Lock | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor IT / network rack | IP20–IP32 | Tubular / cam lock | Standard keyed, low cost |
| Liquid-cooled server rack ★ | IP54–IP65 | O-ring cam lock + rod system | Humidity seal, 10,000+ cycles |
| CDU / power cabinet | IP54+ | Solenoid + mechanical override | Remote access, alarm integration |
| Outdoor BESS / edge | IP55–IP65 | Compression lock (multi-point) | 480h salt spray, vibration-proof |
| High-density retrofit | Per existing | Universal drop-in lock | No door re-machining |
Selection tip: For liquid-cooled racks, verify three things — O-ring or silicone gasket at the lock-to-door interface; cycle life ≥10,000; and key hierarchy (KA / MK / GMK) matched to your fleet scale.
A fully loaded liquid-cooled door can exceed 300 kg. Standard hinges rated for 60 kg will sag, break the gasket seal and create a leak path. WINT's hinge selection starts at 150 kg and scales to 400 kg for AI training clusters.
| Load Class | Door Weight | Cabinet Type | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light ≤60 kg | Standard IT racks | Network / server | Concealed, zero inner-space cost |
| Medium 60–150 kg | Power & CDU cabinets | CDU / UPS | Lift-off pin, full door removal |
| Heavy 150–400 kg ★ | Liquid-cooled racks, BESS | AI server / storage | Reinforced body + stainless pin, sag <1 mm |
The lock is the penetration point of the door envelope. In liquid-cooled racks with elevated humidity, moisture ingress through an unsealed lock cylinder can damage electronics worth more than the entire cabinet hardware budget. WINT's IP65 lock series uses multi-barrier sealing: O-ring at the bezel, silicone gasket at the cam slot, and drain channels that direct moisture away from the mechanism.
| Test / Standard | WINT Benchmark | Industry Typical |
|---|---|---|
| Salt spray (ASTM B117) | 480h–1,000h | 96h–240h |
| Cycle life | ≥10,000 cycles | 3,000–5,000 cycles |
| Hinge door load | 150–400 kg | 40–80 kg |
| IP rating (IEC 60529) | IP54–IP65 validated | IP20 claimed |
| Gasket compression set | ≤25% at 100°C/70h | Not specified |
Beyond locks and hinges, WINT supplies the structural layer that holds liquid cooling systems together: CDU housings, manifold brackets, cold plate covers and blanking panels.
| Component | Material | Process | MOQ |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDU housing / cover | SGCC / AL5052 / SUS304 | Laser cut + bend + weld | 100 pcs |
| Manifold bracket | AL6061-T6 / SGCC | CNC + stamping | 200 pcs |
| Quick-connector mount | AL6061 / SUS303 | CNC milling | 100 pcs |
| Cold plate cover | ABS / POM / AL5052 | CNC or injection | 500 pcs |
| Blanking panel / EMI shield | SGCC + conductive gasket | Stamp + foam bonding | 100 pcs |
Data center projects move fast. WINT's rapid prototyping room delivers custom lock samples in 7 days and non-standard hardware in 15–25 days — approximately 30% faster than industry average.
Step 1: Requirement Review
