Holding Cell Doors & Ceilings

A hinged door with a secure lock device keeps detainees and prisoners in the holding cell. Ceiling panels constructed of the same material complete the holding cell, and our unique design prevents access to all hardware from the secure side of the enclosure.

The wire partition holding cell system installs quickly with standard hand tools using heavy 3/8″ assembly hardware, and our open but secure design allows free circulation of existing lighting, HVAC, and fire suppression systems.

Heavy duty options are available for facilities requiring enhanced security.

Stock Panels
Panels come in one-foot increments from 1′ to 10′ wide to 4′ and 5′ high.

Security to the Max
Our unique wire partition cage design prevents access to all hardware from the secure side of the holding cell enclosure. Heavy-duty options are available for facilities requiring enhanced security.

Utilize Existing Systems
Our open but secure design allows free circulation of existing lighting, HVAC, and fire suppression systems throughout the holding cell.

Excellent service once again!

The entire process went smoothly. I was kept well informed by Tom Merschdorf and Paula Witherspoon during the fabrication phase through delivery and installation. The estimated time frame given from purchase to installation was accurate. Excellent service once again by Tom Merschdorf!

My sales rep was Johnny on the spot.

Product was delivered quicker than I thought it would get here. I was looking at possibly 6 to 7 weeks. We received it in about 3 weeks. My sales rep was Johnny on the spot. He gave me a couple of follow up calls that helped a lot. We have used SafeRack for some time, and will continue to use SafeRack. The products are better quality, last longer, and for me personally, they look better. I have recommended them to our other terminals, and most have switched over.
