Maybe another option http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=10657
So, what they had tried to do was to try and make their own wall and floor bolted networking rack, but they didn't build it far enough away from the wall, so you couldn't get behind it to punch down. What I ended up doing is just putting in some extra long bolts for the patch panels so you could pull them out a bit.

I was asked to come in and look at an office a customer is thinking about buying, on a basis of "should we offer to buy the equipment?"
Nice locking Tripp-lite rack, placed so there's not good access to the back, and the door can't opened beyond about 45 degrees because they built a countertop there. Door can't be removed, because you have to open the door to get to the screws. Only things in the rack are 6 patch panels, a 50-port switch, a VOIP phone system box that's about as deep as the switch, and a rack-mount Synology NAS - complete with a USB-connected portable (2.5") hard drive connected to the back with a label that says TS01 TS02 PRODUCTION. Not my problem, I hope that's a backup and not expanded storage with VMs on it.
It'd be nice to get this customer's 2 servers onto a real rack instead of sitting on a floor in the closet as they are now, but I'm thinking it might require passing them through the side of the rack then lifting them up and placing them on shelves.
