A rack mounted component door system according to the present invention is used in conjunction with a conventional equipment rack to secure components in the rack and to provide access to features of the components positioned away from the front side of the rack. The component door system includes two hinge assemblies that can be attached directly to two opposing vertical members of the front side of a conventional rack. The component door system also includes a panel that can be of conventional configuration or tailored for the component door system. The panel is attached to the two hinge assemblies to extend between the two front side vertical members of the rack.

The invention claimed is: 1. For a component rack having opposing first and second vertical members, a system comprising: a panel sized to extend between the vertical members; a stationary member couple-able to the first vertical member; a mobile member coupled to the panel; a first opening in the stationary member shaped to form a first track including a first position, a second position, and a third position; a second opening in the stationary member shaped to form a second track including a first position, a second position, and a third position; a lever member coupled to the mobile member through a first attachment member and through a second attachment member, the first attachment member passing through the first opening, the second attachment member passing through the second opening; wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the first attachment member is at the first position of the first track, the second attachment member can move from the first position to the second position of the second track thereby traveling substantially in an arc about the first attachment member; and wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the second attachment member is moving from the first position to the second position of the second track, the first attachment member is held in the first position of the first track by the first track and the lever member. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the second attachment member is at the third position of the second track, the first attachment member can move from the second position to the third position of the first track thereby traveling substantially in an arc about the second attachment member; and wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the first attachment member is moving from the second position to the third position of the first track, the second attachment member is held in the third position of the second track by the second track and the lever member. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the first track having a first portion with a first width and a second portion with a second width, the first width being greater than the second width; and wherein the lever member having a peg portion extending from another portion of the level member, the peg portion having a width greater than the second width of the first track and smaller than the first width of the first track, the lever being positioned so that the peg portion of the lever member is inserted into the first portion of the first track when the first attachment member is at a first position of the first track and the peg portion is adjacent to, but not in, the second portion of the first track when the first attachment member is at a second position of the first track. 4. A hinge to mount a panel on a component rack having opposing first and second vertical members, the hinge comprising: a stationary member couple-able to the first vertical member; a mobile member coupled to the panel; a first opening in the stationary member shaped to form a first track including a first position, a second position, and a third position; a second opening the stationary member shaped to form a second track including a first position, a second position, and a third position; a lever member coupled to the mobile member through a first attachment member and through a second attachment member, the first attachment member passing through the first opening, the second attachment member passing through the second opening; and wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the second attachment member is moving from the first position to the second position of the second track, the first attachment member is held in the first position of the first track by the first track and the lever member. 5. The hinge of claim 4 wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the first attachment member is at the first position of the first track, the second attachment member can move from the first position to the second position of the second track thereby traveling substantially in an arc about the first attachment member. 6. The hinge of claim 5 wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the first attachment member is moving from the second position to the third position of the first track, the second attachment member is held in the third position of the second track by the second track and the lever member. 7. The hinge of claim 6 wherein the first track and the second track are shaped so that while the second attachment member is at the third position of the second track, the first attachment member can move from the second position to the third position of the first track thereby traveling substantially in an arc about the second attachment member. 8. The hinge of claim 4 wherein the first track having a first portion with a first width and a second portion with a second width, the first width being greater than the second width; and wherein the lever member having a peg portion extending from another portion of the level member, the peg portion having a width greater than the second width of the first track and smaller than the first width of the first track, the lever being positioned so that the peg portion of the lever member is inserted into the first portion of the first track when the first attachment member is at a first position of the first track and the peg portion is adjacent to, but not in, the second portion of the first track when the first attachment member is at a second position of the first track.
