Security cages are generally considered low maintenance, but there are still a few things to keep in mind to ensure they function properly and last a long time.
Here’s what you need to know about security cage maintenance:
General Upkeep:
Regularly inspect the security cage for any signs of damage, such as loose welds, tears in the mesh, or rust (especially for metal cages).
Address any minor issues promptly to prevent them from becoming bigger problems.
Door Maintenance:
Ensure the doors open and close smoothly. Lubricate hinges if necessary to prevent them from becoming rusty or stiff.
Check the door locks (if applicable) for proper function and replace keys if they become damaged or lost.
Cleaning:
While steel wire mesh is resistant to rust, occasional cleaning can maintain its appearance and prevent dirt buildup. You can use a mild detergent or soap with warm water for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
While repainting isn’t typically needed for functionality, you may consider it for aesthetic reasons if the cage appears worn or scratched.
Special Considerations:
If your security cage has any electronic components like security alarms or automatic doors, you’ll need to follow specific maintenance guidelines from the manufacturer to ensure their proper operation.
Overall, security cages require minimal maintenance, but some basic checks and occasional upkeep can extend their lifespan and ensure they continue to provide optimal security.
