Specifications
FMM Security Cages are made from all steel construction with a welded tubular frame, heavy gauge expanded metal panel infils and an anti tamper security bolting system. Doors are complete with British Standard locks closing to full length 6mm slam plates and incorporating high security stainless steel hinge sets or sliding tracks if preferred. The modular design allows for ease of expansion at a later date if required or the removal and reassembly at a different location. An aesthetically pleasing powder coated cage in the colour of your choice will fit into existing rooms unobtrusively or can be galvanised for factory or outdoor use. FMM security enclosures can be installed into your existing rooms quickly and with little disruption. They are very cost effective and are suitable for use in many environments including offices, computer rooms and factories.
1. 40mm box section Framework
2. 204F expanded metal infill or 1”x1”x10G weld mesh expanded has better security properties but welded is more suitable to office locations where snagging could be an issue.
3. All nuts are tightened within the box section framework using a ratchet. 8mm coach bolts are used.
4. 6mm thick slam plate protects locking mechanism
5 Stainless steel hinges and Adams rite hook bolt lock and 6 pin euro barrel (insurance approved)
6. Single doors 1.2m wide double doors 2.4m. Heavy duty sliding door tracks are available if preferred or if larger opening is required.
7. Digital locks are available as an alternative to the key locks (however these are less secure)
Finish
We can supply our cages in any British standard colour.
Popular choices are goose wing grey, Black and Graphite grey
If the cage is external we supply the cage is Hot dip galvanized, It it is not possible to supply galvanized then powder coated due to the nature of hot dip galvanising on mesh.
Installation
Our Installation is carried out only by our team of experienced fitters who all carry CSCS cards and forklift licenses.
We can work around objects in situe such as servers or pallet racking. As all the panels are made off site the panels bolt together without any need for cutting. This means that very little mess is created.
Power will be required to drill and tap the hinges, bolt down the cage then cut an acceptance hole for the lock.
Method statements and risk assessments are available.
110V power supply is used. All our power tools are regularly PAT tested.
We can carry out a site survey before manufacture, this is charged at £450.00.
This is not normally necessary; a couple of photos and a few measurements is all we require to manufacture.
