## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these 10/32 threads?**
A: I thought they were but there are not 10/32 threads. Do you know if this batch is bad or what? The 4U I bought was 10/32 but the two 6U ones were not 10/32 threading

**Q: Can the 12u mounts be cut down into (3) 4u pieces without running into any issues?**
A: Yes as long as you cut the same hole distance to end on all 3 pieces.  I cut the ends off mine to fin in my network shelving.

**Q: What is the diameter of the holes used to actually mount the rails themselves?**
A: The rails are slightly oversized to accommodate for inconsistency and adjustment but they are fully compatible with the standard rack system that most companies follow.

**Q: what type of screws are needed to both mount the rails to an enclosure and mount the gear to the rails? Are cage nuts needed too?**
A: Hello, Cage nuts are not required. The threading on these rails accommodates standard rack rail screws - 10/32" X 3/4". We actually Sell Screws that will work just fine with these. You can find them by searching this unique Amazon Identifier in the search box above.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 15, 2026*

I used these to convert a milk crate to a rack box. Ears were not installed normally in order to fit, but everything's hanging in there fine.These have good weight & feel plenty solid. I remember when rackmount Mackie power amplifiers weighed a ton, these ears feel like they can handle the task. The screws from Gator are pretty nice too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Rails for a Mini Rack Build
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2025*

I grabbed these rails to throw together a mini 6U rack, and they’re solid. Super sturdy, threads are the standard 10/32, and the quality’s legit for the price. No complaints at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, recommended since it's a high quality product.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 23, 2020*

Gator means quality! They feel heavy and very sturdy. No sharp edges, the paint looks great and it has numbers according to each unit space. Real Gator product. The rails were installed in a DIY 4U cabinet, I left 7 inches in the inside, in between the top and bottom pieces. When I tried to install the rails they just fit perfectly! Initially I thought I was going to buy it from the local musical equipment retailer but the Amazon vendor has a very competitive price, so I decided to save fuel and time by ordering it here. I'm happy with this purchase!
