Warehouse Theft Prevention from Coast to Coast

All too often we hear news about another warehouse that has been burglarized; leaving the owners without expensive equipment, tools, and finished goods. If you've ever heard of the "7 P's", then you know that proper planning can help prevent poor performance. In the case of theft prevention, proper planning can start on a variety of levels and doesn't have to cost an exorbitant amount of money.

Some businesses start their planning with exterior protection, such as high-end surveillance equipment. However, what happens when criminals have breached the walls of your warehouse? Is there anything protecting your equipment on the INSIDE of your warehouse?

For interior protection, turn to FordLogan partitions as they have been providing customers with secured storage cages for decades. Systems are completely customizable and come with a variety of door lock options. Woven wire security cages are one of the simplest, and many times cheapest, ways to prevent unauthorized access to equipment and tools in your facility.

Recently, in Carson, CA a group of four people were arrested for stealing thousands of dollars worth of electronics from a warehouse.  Similarly, a trio was arrested in TN for stealing a safe from a business. Had these businesses kept their items in a secured FordLogan enclosure, they may have been able to prevent the thefts from occurring as the cages act as a natural deterrent. For proper theft prevention, planning should start with FordLogan wire security cages.
