Peli Storm iM2700 Lid Bezel Kit for Panel mounting

When your equipment needs to be both protected and accessible — that's exactly what the Peli Storm iM2700-M4-BEZEL-L Lid Bezel Kit delivers. This precision-engineered aluminium frame system transforms the lid of a Storm Case iM2700, iM2720, or iM2750 into a fully functional interface panel. Mount touchscreens, displays, control panels, switches, or any user-facing component directly into the lid — without sacrificing the case's IP67 watertight integrity or its military-grade impact protection. The metric M4 threading and dual-seal design make this kit a standard choice for systems integrators and field engineers working in demanding environments worldwide.

What Does a Lid Bezel Kit Actually Do?

A standard Peli Storm Case protects equipment from the outside. The Bezel Kit changes the game: rather than hiding your device inside and opening the lid every time you need to interact with it, you permanently integrate an interface panel into the lid itself — making controls and displays accessible from the outside, while the case continues to deliver full weatherproofing and impact resistance. The lid becomes a working front panel. This approach is well-established in military command systems, industrial data acquisition, broadcast AV setups, and emergency medical equipment, where ease of access and protection need to coexist.

Where the iM2700 Lid Bezel Kit Gets to Work

A Storm Case with a bezel-mounted panel is one of the most versatile platforms for mobile workstations and rugged field systems. Typical applications include:

• Military and tactical command — mobile C2 terminals, reconnaissance display units, portable radio stations with touchscreen interfaces. The operator accesses the panel without opening the case or touching internal components, even under fire or adverse field conditions.
• Industrial automation and energy — portable data loggers, network analysers, field SCADA terminals. The screen stays accessible without opening the case; the equipment inside remains shielded from dust, moisture, and mechanical shock throughout.
• Emergency services and medical — portable diagnostic devices, patient monitors, defibrillators in transport enclosures. The bezel kit enables rapid interface access in critical moments without compromising the sealed housing or internal equipment.
• Broadcast and AV production — integrated preview monitors, video routers, portable audio mixing systems. A rugged transport solution and on-location workstation combined in one enclosure.
• Scientific fieldwork and instrumentation — portable spectrometers, seismic recorders, environmental monitoring stations. Controls remain legible and reachable in the field, readings visible at a glance without opening the case.

Installation Overview

The kit is designed for installation by the end-user or a systems integrator. The aluminium frame mounts into the existing guide channels in the iM2700 lid using the supplied rivets and sealing washers. You supply your own interface panel — typically a cut aluminium or acrylic sheet with your devices pre-mounted — which attaches to the bezel frame using M4 screws. The silicone perimeter gasket and O-ring seat between the frame and the case edge, maintaining the watertight seal. No drilling or permanent modification of the case is required: the installation is fully reversible, returning the case to its standard configuration whenever needed.

Lid Bezel or Base Bezel — Which Do You Need?

Each Storm Case size comes with two bezel variants: lid and base. The lid kit — this product — is the right choice when the interface needs to face the operator without opening the case, turning the lid into a working front panel. The base bezel kit suits rack-integrated installations or configurations where the interface faces a different surface. Many systems integrators combine both for fully enclosed double-panel electronics systems. The matching iM2700 Base Bezel Kit (IM27XX-M4-BEZEL-B) is available separately in the store.
