Maybe a stud with a square head where you can slip the handle on.  Like removable climbing steps on telephone poles.

.....but yeah handles are nice to have, not need to have.

Make keyholes for handles?  If you happen to need them slide them on. Removeable. Keep 1 set in the go bag.

    I'm wondering if anyone has strong opinions about handles on
    rackmount devices.

    I'm in the process of switching the enclosure manufacturer on the
    RackInjector and in the process making some design changes that
    should make things better for both us and our customers.  I don't
    want to share too much just in case this doesn't work out - and
    no, this isn't a change to hot-swappable cards.

    With the design we're working on, the handles we have on the front
    of the existing enclosure aren't very easy to implement in the new
    design.   So I'm thinking about just dropping them to save the
    hassle/pain/shipping issues/cost/etc/etc/etc.

    My personal experience has been that although handles on
    enclosures are nice when removing a device from a rack, they are
    by no means necessary.  On occasion, I've also had handles become
    a liability instead of a help.   But on the other hand, when a
    device gets stuck in a rack (typically due to neighboring
    devices), it is nice to have them to add leverage when removing
    the enclosure.

    I'm wondering what everyone else's thoughts on this are...
