<strong><u></u></strong><br />
<strong><u>THE SITUATION</u></strong><br />
<br />
A nationally recognized hospital in Chicago had been storing outdated patient information in their "storage area" also known as their basement. With multiple doors leading downstairs to their storage site, they were in need of a quick way to securely lockup and organize all of the various medical documents. <br />
<br />
The debate was on: what type of enclosures would they need? At first glance, they considered going with chain-link fencing. After speaking with a local SpaceGuard Products distributor, however, they quickly realized that chain-link simply wouldn't make the cut. As the conversation continued, there were a few key factors shaping the purchasing decision:<br />
<ul>
<li>The cages would need to be <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/install-info.html" target="_blank">easily modified</a> and added onto as they cleared space in their basement.</li>
<ul>
<li>Advantage: <strong>FordLogan Woven Wire</strong></li>
</ul>
<li>Even though the documents were being stored in the basement out of plain sight, the hospital was concerned with the overall look of the fencing. This was a hospital after all, not a farm.</li>
<ul>
<li>Advantage: <strong>FordLogan Woven Wire</strong> (<strong>resilient</strong> polyester powder coat vs. cheap galvanized finish)</li>
</ul>
<li>Due to the severity of the situation, the hospital needed the materials onsite within the week.</li>
<ul>
<li>Advantage: <strong>FordLogan Woven Wire</strong> (<em><a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/components.html" target="_blank">stock material</a> available in 48 hours or less</em>!)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<strong><u>THE SOLUTION</u></strong><br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
After coming to the decision to use FordLogan, the local dealer took field measurements and sent his sketches to the exceptional sales team at SpaceGuard. The team put a quote together along with approval drawings within a few short hours. By utilizing standard sizes, the SpaceGuard team and their distributor were able to get the materials produced and shipped in 2 days!<br />
<br />
At the jobsite, the installation team took over getting all of the cages erected in the same day. With the easy modular design and reversible doors, the installers made quick work of the secured enclosures. This was a project designed for FordLogan systems: easy to install, visually appealing, readily available, and inexpensive to fit within any budget. <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/" target="_blank">FordLogan</a>...GETS THE JOB DONE!<br />

According to <a href="http://nmhc.org/Content.aspx?id=4708" target="_blank">figures</a>, there are over 1.5 million apartments in NYC! The continuing trend of increased populations in urban areas means housing developments need to continuously adapt to accommodate their ever-changing tenants. Likewise, as space continues to become more scarce, apartment and condo owners scramble to create additional units. <br />
<br />
Even though an apartment may lack square footage, there are still opportunities to create additional storage for each and every tenant in a building. By using <a href="http://spaceguardproducts.com/wire_mesh_storage_lockers.aspx" target="_blank">storage lockers</a>/enclosures, each resident gains the ability to have an external storage space. This is a great feature for tenants that have bikes, seasonal/holiday items, luggage, and any other oddball items that take up space. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/" target="_blank">FordLogan</a> systems can be designed using standard sized <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/components.html" target="_blank">components</a> or even custom designed to fit your space. As shown in the photos below, an install team added custom-sized wood inserts to act as divider shelves.<br />
<br />

Data centers and colocation <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/applications.html" target="_blank">facilities</a> have some of the highest <a href="http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/physical-data-center-security,2-831.html" target="_blank">security</a> available. They utilize motion-activated cameras, biometric locks, 24-hour security guards, and that's just to enter the building! Upon making your way into a server room, you'll undoubtedly cross additional security measures to prevent any unauthorized access. After passing through all of these safety measures, you'll face the final frontier for securing all that equipment....wire mesh partitions!<br />
<br />
With stringent requirements for air quality, FordLogan woven wire systems are a perfect fit as they do not require field cutting or drilling like some cheap alternatives. Instead, all parts (doors, panels, posts) simply bolt together in the field through pre-punched holes.<br />
<br />
The benefits go beyond the cleanliness. In fact, one of the best reasons for sourcing FordLogan woven wire cages is that they are stocked for quick shipment. That means as you get a contract for floor space, we can get you the materials you need in 48 hours (<em>when painted in standard gray finish</em>). Stock heights can be found <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/components.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

Like so many projects, they start off as a 'hot-rush' and wind up getting put on the backburner until funds are available. Now that these jobs are coming back to life, how can you meet customer's requirements to have material onsite in the next day/week/month?<br />
<br />
With FordLogan woven wire systems, standard sized material is kept in stock and is available for quick shipment (<em>within 48 hours</em>!). Stocked heights are: 7', 8', or 10' tall. All quick-shipment orders have our standard polyester powder coated finish (gray). <br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Top capping bars are typically sent to customers in

difference between channel and frame and the use of U-bolts, the capping
channel tends to slip and move, particularly if not fastened tightly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">FordLogan

<em>Upper Level Storage Enclosure</em></div>
<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>The Situation</u></strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Customer with a two-level mezzanine needed a way to protect their materials and equipment on both levels. Their biggest concern was timing; they needed a way to lockup the upper level immediately. The enclosure beneath the mezzanine would need to be a custom height in certain areas in order to fit properly within overhead structures. The last key item was having a hinge door with emergency egress in one area of the mezzanine structure.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u></u></strong> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>The Solution</u></strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With standard sized systems stocked and ready for quick shipment, the upper level enclosure was able to be shipped within 48 hours! In order to meet proper OSHA safety protocols, a hinge door with a panic bar was equipped at one end of the mezzanine. For the areas beneath the mezzanine, custom height partitions were supplied in a few different areas while other were able to utilize standard 10'h material. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With FordLogan woven wire systems being inexpensive, easy to install, and available for quick shipment, the customer was able to protect their products AND their people. <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/contact.html" target="_blank">Contact SpaceGuard Products</a> today to get your quote on a secured storage cage for your mezzanine.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><strong>Watch Out For Falling Objects...</strong></u></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">The Challenge</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">An International leader in Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) was
evaluating different protective guarding technologies to include around a large
custom designed system. The solution not only needs to meet OSHA machine
guarding specifications that properly prevent personnel from coming in
contact with the automated equipment, but it also needed to provide a safety
barrier should an item fall or slip from the machines. With a variety of mesh
infills and framing members to choose from among these technologies, the
solution would need to absorb the kinetic energy of any falling items. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One final consideration for this particular system was that space in the
facility was limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore a
barrier guarding solution that has minimal growth due to the posts would allow
them to work within the contrained space while still maximizing the number of
standard components used to keep price and lead times down. In fact, they
needed a guarding system that would be ready as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">The Solution </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The customer chose FordLogan woven wire partitions, a proven industry
standard manufactured by SpaceGuard Products, an active member of the Woven
Wire Products Association (wovenwire.org).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>FordLogan utilizes a 10-ga diamond woven wire mesh that meets all
code requirements by not allowing a 2-inch diameter ball to pass through the
mesh with 50-lb of lateral force applied. The woven wire is stronger than
welded mesh options due to its shape and the triple intermediate crimp between
wire intersections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The design also
makes the mesh more flexible to better withstand and absorb side impact. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Being that both time and space were limited, FordLogan was the perfect
solution as its posts have minimal growth to the overall dimensions of the system
unlike many welded wire systems. As a bonus, all of the doors can be reversed
in the field (just in case the floor plan turns out to be different than was
originally planned). The entire customized cage was designed to use all
standard sized doors, panels, and posts. Doing this kept the price low and also
allowed us to ship the material in 48 hours! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Do you remember when the height of a slide door, height of
the partition system, <em>and</em> location of the door all dictated how you ordered and
installed your woven wire partition?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you haven’t installed a woven wire partition before, then that question alone
probably sounds overly complicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
all, a stocked partition product should have common, simplified hardware in
order to truly be considered flexible in design.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">BEHOLD: FordLogan slide gates have been simplified to use
<strong>one</strong> method of attachment regardless of size or configuration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more plates to sandwich the mesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more nylon spacers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And possibly best of all, we’ve cut down on
how much hardware you need to sort through to install your slide gate.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">FordLogan slide gates now all ship with three line posts and
a common L-bracket to mount the track brackets (for
Installation Guide, click <strong><em><u><a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/install-info.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></u></em></strong>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the line
posts do add some additional material and weight to your order, we have also
designed out the need for a channel header above the door opening to keep the
price affordable.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And get this, you can now configure your system to lock at
an end OR at a corner post.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sound too good to be true?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well, we prefer simple and we know
you’ll appreciate it too. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/uploads/9/2/7/1/9271645/1335642_orig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.fordlogan.com/uploads/9/2/7/1/9271645/1335642_orig.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
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 "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Ps_(military_adage)" target="_blank">7 P's</a>", 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. <br />
<br />
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 <em>INSIDE</em> of your warehouse?<br />
<br />
For interior protection, turn to <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/" target="_blank">FordLogan</a> 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. <br />
<br />
Recently, in Carson, CA a group of <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20141218/detectives-crack-100000-carson-warehouse-tech-theft-ring" target="_blank">four people were arrested</a> for stealing thousands of dollars worth of electronics from a warehouse. Similarly, <a href="http://www.wjhl.com/story/28002529/kpd-three-arrested-for-warehouse-burglary-theft-of-empty-safe" target="_blank">a trio was arrested</a> in TN for stealing a safe from a business. Had these businesses kept their items in a secured <a href="http://www.fordlogan.com/literature--specs.html" target="_blank">FordLogan enclosure</a>, 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 <em>start</em> with FordLogan wire security cages.<br />
