Wire Partitions & Security Cages for Warehouses
Wire Security Partitions for Warehouses and Industrial Facilities
Why Choose Wire Partitions?
Wire security partitions create secure enclosures for high-value inventory, hazardous materials, evidence storage, DEA cages, tool cribs, server rooms, and machine guarding. Unlike solid walls, wire partitions maintain full visibility into the secured area, enabling loss prevention monitoring, fire suppression water penetration, and inventory visibility without physical access. Systems use 10-gauge welded wire panels in steel frames, available in 4, 6, and 8 foot heights. Configurations include hinged gates, slide gates, full-height and partial-height systems, and ceiling-attached panels for complete enclosure. The combination of security and visibility is the defining advantage of wire partition systems over solid wall alternatives. A solid wall blocks sight lines and requires surveillance cameras to monitor what is happening inside. A wire cage allows floor supervisors, loss prevention personnel, and security cameras to maintain unobstructed visual monitoring of the secured area from anywhere on the floor. In pharmaceutical storage, this visibility is not just operationally convenient. It is required by DEA regulations for Schedule II controlled substance storage. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions designs and installs wire partition systems for a wide range of applications across Utah and the Mountain West. Our systems meet OSHA machine guarding requirements for robotic work cells, stamping presses, and automated equipment enclosures. We design DEA-compliant pharmaceutical cages, evidence rooms for law enforcement agencies, tool cribs for manufacturing facilities, and high-value product enclosures for distribution centers. Every installation includes proper gate hardware, locking mechanisms, and anchoring to the floor and ceiling as required.

Technical Details & Buying Guide
Standard wire security panels are constructed from 10-gauge (0.135-inch diameter) welded wire mesh with 2×2-inch or 2×4-inch grid openings, welded into a structural steel perimeter frame. The 10-gauge wire provides substantial resistance to cutting tools and physical force while maintaining clear visibility. For maximum-security applications such as DEA vaults, evidence rooms, or high-value jewelry/electronics storage, 8-gauge wire (0.165-inch diameter) with 1×1-inch grid provides significantly higher resistance to intrusion attempts. Panel heights are standardized at 4, 6, and 8 feet to match standard warehouse ceiling heights and aisle dimensions.
Panel-to-panel connection uses a steel mullion post that accepts two adjacent panels and is anchored to the floor via base plate. Corner and end posts serve structural functions and anchor the system to maintain plumb and rigidity under lateral loading. For ceiling attachment, required for DEA compliance and high-security enclosures, ceiling channels are secured to the building structure overhead and panels or a ceiling wire mesh are attached to eliminate the gap above the partition. Ceiling attachment hardware is engineered for the specific building structure (wood, steel, or concrete) and seismic zone requirements.
Gate options include full-width hinged swing gates (most common for personnel and pallet jack access), sliding gates for high-frequency access in confined aisles, and vertical-lift gates for forklift access openings. Gate hardware includes dead bolt locks, padlock hasps, push-button keypads, card reader mounts, and magnetic lock preparations for electronic access control integration. For machine guarding applications, safety interlock switches on gates connect to the machine control system to automatically stop the machine when the gate is opened, meeting OSHA 1910.217 and ANSI B11 series guarding standards.

Common Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
What wire gauge are security partitions made from?
Standard wire security panels use 10-gauge welded wire mesh, heavy enough to resist common cutting tools and physical impact while maintaining visibility and fire suppression water penetration. Heavy-duty 8-gauge wire with 1×1-inch grid openings is available for maximum-security applications requiring higher intrusion resistance.
Can wire partitions reach the ceiling for complete enclosure?
Yes. Ceiling attachment kits allow panels or ceiling mesh to be secured to building structure overhead, creating a fully enclosed secure cage with no gap at the top. This is required for DEA-compliant pharmaceutical storage and high-security evidence rooms where the ceiling gap would otherwise allow unauthorized access.
Do wire partitions meet OSHA machine guarding requirements?
Yes. Wire partition systems meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.217 machine guarding requirements and ANSI B11 series standards when properly installed with safety-interlocked gates. The interlock connects to the machine control system and automatically stops the machine when the gate is opened, preventing operator access to a running machine.
How are wire partition panels anchored to the floor?
Panels are anchored via base plate posts that are bolted to the concrete floor using expansion anchors or epoxy anchors appropriate for the floor thickness and loading conditions. In seismic zones, anchor bolt design is engineered to resist lateral loads. Floor anchor holes should be checked for sub-slab utilities before drilling.
Can wire partitions be reconfigured after installation?
Yes. The modular panel system allows panels to be removed, added, or repositioned as your needs change. Gate locations can be moved to different panel positions. This flexibility makes wire partitions a better long-term investment than solid wall construction, which would require demolition and rebuilding to accommodate operational changes.
