Extra Security Measures – Custom Security Cage

Security cages and enclosures of widely used in a number of industries where extra security is required within the workplace. This could be for storing dangerous or valuable equipment that are to be used by staff members, ensuring that they always know where to find each piece of equipment, or as a method to keep unauthorized personnel out of a building or to slow down a robber during an attempted burglary.

In the past, the main use of a security cage was to lock up tools or machinery at a building site or factory when not in use in order to prevent theft, or to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing hazardous machinery or substances. However, there are other valuable assets that business must keep secure.

In recent years as computer equipment, particularly servers have massively reduced in size whilst becoming more powerful, they are much more susceptible to theft or tampering. As a result, many insurance companies have begun to insist on extra security measures being taken. A security cage works as an extra barrier to equipment such as computer hardware and servers, delaying and preventing intruders from accessing important equipment.

Security cages built from specially constructed welded mesh panels are ideal for use as an extra level of security for servers. The see through mesh panels mean that extra climate control is not necessary as air is able to access the equipment naturally. As the equipment does not overheat, it can function properly and last for longer. With electrical equipment, it is also important to be able to access it properly in the case of a fire. As a mesh panel consists of many holes, it is easy to suppress any potential fires without opening security cages which could be dangerous.

While a standard security page may be sufficient, a custom security cage is much more adaptable. In many businesses, space is at a minimum so it is essential to utilise any space in the best way possible. Custom built mesh panels can be designed in order to accommodate any obstacles such as pipework, ventilation systems, electrics or other strange building features that may occur.
