Lab Rax Wall Mounting Cleats

The Lab Rax Wall Mounting Cleats provide a simple and secure way to mount a Lab Rax homelab directly onto a wall.

The system uses a pair of interlocking cleats. One set attaches to the rear posts of the Lab Rax and the opposing set mounts to the wall. Once installed, the rack simply slides down onto the wall-mounted cleats and locks into position.

A pair of lower spacers is also included to keep the bottom of the rack correctly spaced from the wall so that the Lab Rax sits vertically.

For heavier builds, or if you'd simply like some additional support, a second set of cleats can be installed at the bottom of the rack instead of the spacers.

Hardware Required

For a standard installation using one pair of upper cleats and two lower spacers (or a pair of cleats at the bottom too):

- 8 × M6 × 10 mm screws for attaching the rack cleats and lower spacers to the rack - Buy Here - 4 × 3–5 mm diameter screws and plugs for securing the cleats to the wall - Buy Here If you're using additional cleats for a heavier rack, you'll need additional mounting hardware accordingly.

Printing & Installation

The cleats should be printed in the orientation provided in the print profile. This orientation is intentional so that the weight of the rack is not supported across the layer lines, significantly improving the strength of the printed parts.

Make sure the wall-mounted cleats are fixed into a suitable structural surface using fasteners appropriate for your wall construction and the weight of your completed homelab.

Once everything is installed, simply align the rack with the wall cleats and slide it down into position.

Mounting Templates

Two printable mounting templates are included to make installation and alignment easier:

- Single Cleat Template – correctly positions the two wall cleats for a standard installation. - Up to 5U Template – includes mounting positions for racks up to 5U, allowing additional sets of cleats to be installed for heavier racks or additional support. The templates take the guesswork out of positioning the individual wall cleats and ensure that they line up correctly with the cleats installed on the rack.
