DEA cages are wire partitions specifically designed to meet DEA specifications. Over the years, we have supplied DEA-approved wire security cages to some of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies, including SSM Health Care, Forest Pharmaceutical, and KV Pharmaceutical. These companies utilize wire mesh partitions as security cages for storing controlled substances in their warehouses.
DEA drug storage cages are not only used by pharmaceutical companies but also by record storage facilities, warehousing, distribution centers, pharmacies, medical facilities, and even medical marijuana dispensaries. Woven wire security cages can securely store a wide range of items.
We understand the seriousness of your responsibilities. Our wire security cages are made from high-quality materials, ensuring they can withstand rigorous use. They are trusted within the healthcare field to protect medications. With DEA cages, you can create restricted access, further safeguarding staff members, visitors, and patients.
Additionally, these wire security cages help to organize the workplace. It is essential for pharmacists to keep medications distinct and to quickly identify them. Our wire cages provide a secure storage solution.
Wire enclosures are versatile and can be customized to any required width, length, or height. The wire partitions offer both ventilation and visibility without compromising security. Many medications require specific temperature or lighting conditions, making these cages ideal for secure storage.
When properly installed, our wire mesh partitions meet the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s regulations for the physical security of Schedule III through V controlled substances, as specified in Title 21 CFR Sections: 72-76. We can connect you with a reputable installer who specializes in these wire partitions.
You may be surprised by the affordability of the wire cages. Although they serve vital functions and must meet specific requirements, they are constructed from wire and steel. Let us assist you in designing the right DEA-approved security cage that meets your needs while staying within budget.

Notable Features of DEA Security Cage Installations:
- DEA-approved cages feature doors that are self-closing and self-locking. We offer a variety of standard and custom lock options to fulfill this requirement, in addition to self-closing doors with mechanical and powered operations.
- DEA cages have walls made of at least No.10 steel fabric, with openings no wider than 2-1/2 inches, secured on steel posts that are no more than ten feet apart, with horizontal reinforcement. Our standard panels measure a maximum of ten feet in length and four or five feet in height, constructed from 2 x 1 inch opening 10 gauge steel wire. The panels' frames comply with the requirement for horizontal reinforcement every sixty inches.
- Walls are mounted on posts with a minimum diameter of one inch, anchored to the floor. Our standard posts are 2 inches square, equipped with base plates for floor anchoring. Lag bolts must be pinned or brazed once installed.
- The ceiling shall consist of the same materials as the walls or extend to the building's structural ceiling. Our system uses identical panels for walls and ceilings. Additionally, our design allows for panels to be stacked between posts to reach most building ceilings. DEA regulations prohibit gaps between the enclosure and the building structure. Angle frame panels can be customized with cutouts to fit your structure or modified on-site by the installer.
- Panels are flush-mounted to the floor. A simple modification to our stock posts can eliminate sweep space, allowing for flush mounting of the panels as required.
We offer these features along with years of experience in providing approved enclosures to the drug industry. Let us assist with your next project. Call 800-763- for a free consultation.

Understanding the Importance of a DEA-Approved Drug Cage
Understanding the Importance of a DEA-Approved Drug Cage
When storing controlled substances classified under the DEA drug schedule, whether for law enforcement, research, sales, or other purposes, secure storage is essential to prevent unauthorized access. The DEA imposes strict requirements for handling controlled substances.
To qualify as DEA-approved Cages for Class III-V, the following standards must be met:
* Self-closing and self-locking doors
* Walls constructed from No.10 steel fabric or stronger, with openings not exceeding 2-1/2 inches across, securely mounted on steel posts spaced no more than ten feet apart, and horizontally reinforced
* Walls fastened to posts of one inch in diameter and lagged to the floor
* Ceiling that is either made from identical materials to the panels or extends to the building’s structural ceiling
* Panels that mount flush with the flooring

At Warehouse Optimizers, Inc., we always aim to exceed the established requirements. With years of experience providing DEA-approved enclosures to the drug and pharmaceutical industries, we have never failed a DEA inspection!
Our wire partitions enable the construction of a DEA-controlled substance storage cage in virtually any size or shape. A DEA cage can feature a free span ceiling up to 30 feet or a ceiling of any dimension supported by vertical tubes. Panels can be stacked to any height, integrating the DEA cage with existing building walls and ceilings. All slide and hinge doors can be designed to be self-closing and accessible through a card reader or ten-digit keypad using electric strikes or mag locks. We offer a variety of standardized and custom lock options to ensure compliance with self-closing and self-locking requirements.
Warehouse Optimizers, Inc. utilizes the same panels for both walls and ceilings. Additionally, our secure storage system is robust enough for stacking panels between posts to reach almost any building's ceiling height. A simple modification to our stock posts can eliminate sweep space, allowing for flush-to-floor mounting of wire mesh panels as mandated.
Features of the Drug Cage
Our wire cages not only address security needs for storing controlled substances but also provide a wide array of features tailored to the critical responsibility of securing these materials.
Wire mesh panels and ceiling layouts are constructed from heavy 10 gauge wire with square steel posts spaced ten feet apart or closer, complete with welded base plates. This comprehensive security package permits visibility of the stored contents without granting access, while also allowing air circulation to prevent moisture accumulation — a vital feature for evidence and research storage.
