Revolutionizing Jail Safety with Custom Wire Partitions
Project Overview:
WireCrafters recently collaborated with Custom Equipment Company to design and install a custom specialized wire partition system within an elevator at a local jail in South Carolina. This partnership aimed to enhance security and operational efficiency within the correctional facility. By leveraging WireCrafters’ expertise in high-quality wire mesh products, the project successfully addressed the unique challenges posed by the jail’s confined and high-security environment.
Customer Description
The jail wanted a wire partition within the elevator to securely separate prisoners from security personnel. The solution involved creating a small, tamper-proof cage using heavy-duty six-gauge wire and polycarbonate panels. The wire provided robust containment, while the polycarbonate panels prevented inmates from spitting on the officers. The cage featured a standard mortise door lock with the bolt–on rod featured on the officer’s side, a blank panel on the prisoner’s side, and a design flush-mounted to the elevator floor, ensuring security and functionality within the confined space.
Why Choose WireCrafters?
The customer chose WireCrafters due to their longstanding partnership with Robbie Lewis and Custom Equipment Company, which exclusively relies on WireCrafters for all wire partitions and cages. WireCrafters’ expertise in customizing designs to meet stringent DEA-like specifications, including flush-to-the-floor installations and tamper-proof hardware, made them the ideal choice. Several additional factors made WireCrafters the perfect choice: the company’s innovative capability to combine polycarbonate with wire mesh panels perfectly addresses the jail’s unique security and safety needs and the ease and timeliness of installation inside a working elevator.
The WireCrafters Difference
Since 1967, when WireCrafters was established as a wire job shop, it has become the nation’s leading producer of wire partition products. Contrary to traditional systems, our woven and welded wire partitions are based on the simple idea that panels stack one on top of the other between tubular posts to reach the finished partition height. Our ability to create customizable-sized panels sets us apart from all other competitors.
Our mission is to provide our customers with creative solutions for their safety, security, and storage needs while meeting commitments with exceptional quality by people who care.
