In other words, the cages make the storage rooms inaccessible to all manner of people including salespeople, technicians, truck drivers, janitors and off course the usual intruders or people who show up at a facility uninvited.

In a nutshell, these zones remain highly protected and one can access them only with the permission of an administrator. 

Other than protecting a firm’s valuables from theft, loss or pilferage, security cages also protect people from accessing hazardous locations inside a plant or commercial property. For example, unauthorized access to locations storing toxic chemicals, materials or faulty machinery can be risky if not life-threatening. Consequently, securing such locations with security cages makes sure everyone is out of harm’s way. 

Securing stock rooms 

Today, lots of companies use security cages to protect their stock or inventory rooms. These rooms contain valuable products or materials which can easily fall at the hands of thieves if the rooms are not secure.

Data Center Protection 

Security cages are effective at protecting computer network servers. By limiting access to data centres, companies are able to protect sensitive information and vital communication infrastructure which can be costly to replace. Typically, cages that protect computer servers are well-ventilated due to the amount of heat such facilities produce. 

In addition to cages, data center protection can be enhanced by an extra layer of security in the form of partitions. Partitions ensure that technicians can only access specific servers based on the main administrator allocation. The added layer of security makes data centres safe because chances of a rogue technician tampering with other computer servers are minimized. 

And to make data centres more secure, the cages come with added features such a biometric entry, advanced locking systems and code card readers. If your data centre isn’t protected by security cages, you sensitive information could easily be breached.  

Enhancing retail space safety  

Security cages are also vital security barriers for retail shops. The cages can secure high-value inventory such as jewellery, firearms, expensive tools, etc. And as you know already know, most retail shops use glass boxes to display valuable accessories like jewellery. Unfortunately, these attractive displays are an easy target for thieves, especially if a shop is located in an insecure street. 

Cages and partitions can add an extra layer of security, which can effectively end the threat posed by smash and grab thieves. And the good thing about these cages is that they can be customized to fit all sorts of configurations and spaces.  

So your shop will still look great with the cages around. Moreover, modern cages come with smart padlocks that have advanced security features such as biometric access or code card readers.
