Wire Security Cages & Modular Wire Partitions
Wire security cages provide secure, ventilated storage for high-value inventory, hazardous materials, tenant belongings, and server equipment. Heavy-gauge steel mesh panels, lockable doors, and modular design — no HVAC or sprinkler rerouting needed.
Need a security cage for your warehouse, datacenter, or apartment building? Wire mesh security cages and modular wire partitions are the fastest, most cost-effective way to create lockable, secure enclosures inside any facility. Unlike drywall or sheet metal walls, wire cages do not block HVAC airflow, ambient lighting, or overhead fire sprinkler coverage — eliminating the high cost of rerouting ducts or sprinklers.
Our wire security cages are built from heavy-gauge steel wire woven into 2" × 1" rectangular mesh, welded into heavy-duty steel angle frames. This rugged construction resists impact, tampering, and unauthorized access. Panels are available in widths from 1 to 10 feet and heights up to 10 feet, and can be stacked and combined to create enclosures of virtually any footprint.
We serve a wide range of security applications: DEA-compliant pharmaceutical storage cages, datacenter colocation cages for server racks, tenant storage lockers for apartment buildings, lockable tool rooms for construction sites, and OSHA-compliant machine guarding barriers. Every cage can be configured with sliding or hinged doors, key locks, combination locks, electronic keypads, or biometric access control.
Because our partitions are fully modular, you can expand, reconfigure, or relocate your enclosure as your facility layout changes — no demolition, no drywall repair, no repainting. Panels ship flat and bolt together on site with basic tools.

Best For
Security Cages are an ideal solution for these customers and applications.
Warehouse & Distribution Managers
The problem: Need to secure high-value inventory (electronics, tools, alcohol) without blocking airflow or fire sprinklers
The solution: Lockable wire mesh cages integrate into existing warehouse layouts without HVAC or sprinkler modifications
Datacenter & IT Operations
The problem: Need colocation cages that secure server racks while allowing airflow, cable routing, and visual supervision
The solution: Open mesh design provides ventilation and visibility; locking doors control physical access to servers
Property Managers & Multifamily Buildings
The problem: Need secure tenant storage lockers that fit in parking garages or basement areas with existing fire suppression
The solution: Modular wire lockers install without structural changes and comply with fire code by not blocking sprinklers
Manufacturing & Production Facilities
The problem: Must protect workers from robotic cells, conveyors, and heavy machinery with OSHA-compliant guarding
The solution: Wire mesh machine guarding barriers meet OSHA/ANSI specs while maintaining visual supervision of automated lines
How to Choose the Right Security Cages
Measure your floor space first. Standard panels come in widths of 1–10 ft and heights of 4–10 ft. A 10×10 ft enclosure requires roughly 8–12 panels depending on door placement.
Consider door access patterns. Hinged (swing) doors are simplest but require clearance. Sliding doors save space in narrow aisles. Pass-through sliding doors allow forklift access without opening full-width gates.
Lock type should match your security level. Key locks and padlock clasps work for basic security. Electronic keypads and biometrics are recommended for high-value inventory and DEA-regulated storage.
For DEA compliance, cages must have walls reaching the structural ceiling, 2-inch wire mesh, self-closing/locking doors, and tamper-resistant construction. Notify us at order time if DEA compliance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary applications for wire security cages?
Wire security cages are highly versatile and commonly used for enclosing high-value goods (like electronics, alcohol, or precision tools), isolating hazardous materials, securing server racks in datacenters (colocation cages), organizing DEA-regulated pharmaceuticals, and creating lockable tenant storage areas in multifamily residential buildings.
How do modular wire partitions compare to standard drywall or steel walls?
Unlike drywall or sheet metal walls, wire partitions do not block building HVAC airflow, ambient lighting, or overhead fire sprinkler coverage. This eliminates the extremely high cost of rerouting ducts, sprinklers, or electrical systems when partitioning a warehouse. Wire partitions also allow supervisors to maintain full visibility of inventory and employees, increasing safety and accountability.
Are your wire cages DEA compliant?
Yes, we offer DEA-compliant configurations. The Drug Enforcement Administration has strict requirements for storage of Schedule III through V controlled substances, including self-closing and self-locking doors, walls reaching the structural ceiling, 2-inch wire mesh, and heavy-duty steel construction. Our modular components can be engineered and assembled to satisfy these exact regulations.
What options are available for cage doors and locks?
We offer both hinged (swing) doors and space-saving sliding doors. For security locking, doors can be configured with standard key locks, padlock clasps, mechanical push-button combination locks, electronic keypads, magnetic card readers, or biometric scanner integrations.
Can I expand a wire cage after installation?
Yes — that is a key advantage of modular construction. Additional panels, gates, and ceiling panels can be added later without demolishing existing sections. The bolt-together frame system makes reconfiguration straightforward.
