A partition, as the definition states, is used to divide an area into separate parts. From a business perspective, If you’re looking to increase your safety and security, or provide additional secure enclosures for supplies or personnel, then you would benefit from a wire mesh partition. Not only do they provide you with peace of mind but in some fields they are mandatory requirements for operations.
There are a variety of materials used for partitions as well as the size of the woven or welded wire. Typically 10-gauge wires are used between even thicker heavy-duty 2” posts. These woven or welded wire panels are also attached to the angle frames and connected to square steel tubing posts to create a custom and secure structure that is built to your exact needs. Some manufacturer’s designs allow the welded wire panels to be trimmed to build around obstructions without damaging the integrity of the panel, while still providing a high level of protection.
The panels are typically used for the walls of the enclosure but can also be used as infill panels, transoms, or as a ceiling. The standard sizes of these panels are typically made in even foot increments to a maximum of 10’ wide and 5’ high. Filler panels are often used to fill gaps, but due to the customization that is available with partitions, they can be made to any size necessary.
Because of the design of these structures, they allow for the circulation of light, air for filtration, sprinkler systems, as well as not blocking the view of any security cameras. You’ll get to keep an eye on your possessions at all times while also ensuring that no environmental damages are being caused.
Prices can vary greatly depending on what you’re looking for. The size of the project, the preferred wire gauge size, and the type of project can all impact the cost of your partitions. Additional options may also increase the cost of installation as well.

There is a wide range of options available for wire mesh partitions which makes them a great solution for nearly any type of security project. Below are a few of the most common options to choose from when it comes time to plan your project.
These doors are the standard option when it comes to partitions. Although they come in standard sizes, a variety of custom heights and widths are available. Typically they come equipped with a standard cylinder lock or padlock hasp.
This option is perfect when you need larger openings or restrictive aisles. Like the hinged doors, sliding doors come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any space. They offer the same locking options as the hinged door but are installed on a wheeled trolley and floor channel guide to ensure easy operation.
If your space is limited horizontally, then a vertical option may be the best option for you. Although this option isn’t as common as the hinged and sliding variants, we understand that all spaces are not created equally and want to ensure the option exists if needed for your project.
Mortise locks are fitted into a pocket that is either cut into your door, or the door is designed with the pocket built-in. Some specials might be available.
A hasp is a slotted metallic strap or band that is attached to the door via a hinge. When closed, the hasp fits over a metallic loop where typically a padlock is used to secure the enclosure.
Keypads provide the ability to access your enclosure with a specified code as opposed to requiring a key to enter.
Typically using a fingerprint scanner, you can limit access to your space to only specified personnel without the risk of a key being duplicated or a code being shared amongst your employees and coworkers. These are often used in high security or restricted access applications and will require additional installation.
Panic bars allow your personnel and visitors to quickly access/escape an area without any prior knowledge as to how the door works.
Indoff offers a variety of options when it comes to the size and shape of the mesh patterns, as well as the gauge of the wire being used. We also offer expanded metal, sheet metal, and clear polycarbonate options as well. Below are our most common configurations but custom options are available so be sure to speak with your Material Handling Partner about any additional details.

The installation process for new wire mesh partitions is typically pretty quick and straightforward. Once an order is placed, depending on the manufacturer, some materials can ship in 48 hours, others are made to order. At that point, a trusted team of installers will begin securing your pieces into place.
Installation varies depending on the size, height, length of the project but it can be quickly assembled in a clear open area. Layouts can easily be modified and reconfigured. One of the benefits of these partition systems is that there is very little downtime that occurs so your company can get back up and running as soon as possible.
Wire mesh partitions can be a full floor-to-ceiling solution and as such people are unable to crawl over or under the partition to gain access to your inventory. Due to their steel construction, they are also not easily bent meaning you won’t have anyone squeezing through any gaps as you see in the films.
Data Centers rely on wire mesh partitions to help keep their servers secure from security breaches. If an unauthorized visitor or employee gains access to your data center they could easily disconnect wires, install malicious software, or steal expensive equipment. This could leave your company vulnerable to lawsuits as well as irreparable damage to your brand. This type of construction provides full ventilation and air conditioning for the servers.
Tool Cribs are a great way to ensure your more expensive yet portable tools are secured while not being used. A tool crib should provide storage for every specialty tool that you may need to rely on. It’s important that these tools are well organized and easy to spot to reduce downtime. Due to the visibility that a wire mesh partition provides, you’ll not only be able to see what tools are available for use but also be able to keep a security camera trained on your most prized possessions.
Driver Cages protect your business by sealing off specific access points. Sometimes these are necessary as you may have delivery drivers dropping off freight or packages that are needed to keep your business running. Driver cages keep your visitors where they belong to complete any necessary paperwork or exchange of information.
DEA Cages meet the requirements of the US Drug Enforcement Administration to store Schedule III through V controlled substances. Often used to store drugs for pharmaceutical companies as well local, state, government agencies. Due to the amount of security they provide, they are also great choices for storing weapons, expensive equipment, and other chemicals.
These cages must be attached to the ground as well as the building room to prevent anyone from gaining access unless the door is used. If they can’t be attached to the roof, then we’ll need to install a ceiling with the same materials to meet the DEAs requirements. The access door must also be self-closing and self-locking to eliminate any human error. Additionally, other requirements must be met including the gauge of steel, the distance between the posts, mesh size, and the nuts used for mounting.
To ensure you’re meeting all the required specifications, contact your local Indoff Material Handling Partner.
Machine Guarding not only protects your expensive and possibly dangerous equipment, but it also protects employees from being injured by operating machinery they are unfamiliar with. These solutions come with quick open, quick disconnects, and electrical interlocks so your employee can take the needed immediate action to prevent any injury or destruction as well as safe and secure machine access for maintenance. Additionally, if you have a lot of heavy machinery moving about such as forklifts, cranes, or robotics, a partition can help protect any accidents from occurring to your most valuable and sensitive equipment.
