Sure, SpaceGuard wire partitions are regularly used for safety and physical barriers around machinery and mobile equipment; however, access control is the largest and fastest growing factor behind our customer's purchasing decision.  Securing material and information is a top concern whether you're shopping for a colocation cage for your data center, DEA-approved pharmaceutical enclosure, military personnel lockers, or tool crib for your manufacturing facility.  Now, with the aid of rapidly emerging technologies, you can also control and track who is entering that area, when, and for how long.

SpaceGuard Products embraces the importance and advances in electronic access controlled entry.  We are pleased to introduce several new and improved, engineered lock options specifically designed for our wire mesh enclosures.  Our electro-magnetic locks are available in both swing and slide doors in our SG2000 wire partitions that can be tied to your card reader, key pad, or even biometric identification system.

Our wire partition slide door magnetic lock has 750 lb of holding force and runs off field selectable input voltage of 12 or 24 VDC.  Our receiver is designed to be sturdy, yet manageable for easy installation and field adjustment.

Our wire partition magnetic hinge lock has 600 lb of shear force and works with 24 VDC.  Unlike many competitors who place the lock within the door opening (or don't offer this option at all), this slim yet strong sheer magnet allows us to center the lock on the door and still allow for unobstructed clearance when the door is open.

Like all magnetic locks, these are designed to fail-safe without a constant source of power, such as a backup battery connection.  Contact our sales team today to find out more about controlled access locks and your next security cage.

SpaceGuard Products is proud to provide our customers with detailed drawings to accompany your wire mesh partition quote and subsequent order.  Our drawings are intended to help visualize and deliver information between your customer and our shop floor.  We try to keep them simple, but in many cases such as new construction, even the most trivial information can prove critical.  One example in particular, is to provide us with minimum door clearances if required by your customer.  The hinges, jambs, slam angle and even panel frame in the cases of our FordLogan and 2180 wire partitions, deduct several inches of clearance from the door.  So while a 3' x 7' door will not provide 36" clear openings, we can develop a solution that will meet your needs.

While some of our doors are reversible in design to help reduce lead times and costs, such as all standard FordLogan doors and standard SG2000 wire partition hinge doors (left/right reversible), other doors such as our 2180 welded wire partition are shipped with the hinged doors welded in the frame eliminating costly installation time.  Regardless of the product line you choose for your security cage, it never hurts to communicate the door position, hinge/slide direction, and secure side of the wire enclosure so that you are provided with the correct jambs, hardware, and locks.  Drawings such as the one below can be provided to you by our sales team to choose the correct hinge or slide door for your application:
