Scotts Metal Works - A/C Security Cages

JUST LOCK IT AND LEAVE IT! TM
Not just theft protection, these also offer great Hurricane protection!!

Others say they're the first, but we know we are. We have been making cages since 2005. After Hurricane Charley
in 2004, we designed our cages to exceed storm protection requirements.
Have you or anyone you know had their A/C unit stolen? It's happening! We checked with various insurance
companies as to what they cover and the amount of the average deductable...not pretty...averages around a
$1,000.00 deductible! Plus you now have a claim, you're out of your A/C and who knows when they can replace it.
The average cost of these cages start at $250 installed. That includes a Master Lock Stainless/ Titanium series. We
do ship within the United States and currently work with 20 different shipping companies. We strive to get the best
rate every time, this may mean that the buyer may have to pick up the unit at the shipping terminal to save around
$100. You will also receive at no extra charge, custom drill bit, anchors and driver along with complete instructions
for placement.
If you would like to see our mobile display, it can be brought to you (Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties) so you can
see exactly what you're getting and receive the full impact and have all your questions answered in full.
These are currently for sale, but since each model out there is different, I will have to personally measure each one
of these and would like to explain to you in person as to how this will be installed and make sure you, as the buyer,
are aware of all the options available to you. If you need to do this over the phone or online, I ask that you send as
many photographs as possible so we can see any obstacles in the way.
Each cage is 100% welded, heavy duty steel, not the lightweight material used everywhere else. Hinges are made
from heavy duty rolled steel and the lid has a solid welded cover to prevent cutting of the lock.
NOTE! These units are designed to mount to concrete. Requirements for these are :
You have either a concrete slab, preferably a driveway or at least a 3" pad ( this cannot be mounted to the new
fiberglass pads.

If these are not available, the cage can be manufactured in order to be set in post holes then filled with quick crete.
Recommendations for this will differ according to the size and location of each unit.
These cages can be built for single or multiple units. We use high grade enamel to resist the Florida sun and the
elements. A limited number of colors are available, but custom painting will be considered. These can be ordered
powder coated but as a warning, it is not cheap.
Access points are built in to the design for regular A/C Maintenance. These cages can be modified to fit well pumps,
pool heaters/pumps, or anything you may need.

Don't Let This Happen To You!

Mid Sized Commercial Sized Cages

Below are some cages for larger units that needed to be set in concrete. Note the triangles at the
bottom, once the holes are dug in the proper place the cage is set in place and concrete poured in the
holes. These particular cages are extra heavy duty 2" x 2" x 1/4" steel angle, the expanded metal is
double layered (3/4" x 1/8 " #9). Each layer is welded together for extra stability. The lock boxes are
stainless steel (316L) for a higher endurance factor due to that stainless can not be cut with a torch and
takes longer to cut with a grinder.
Each lock box is certain sized for a particular Master-Lock series (Titanium coated and stainless steel;
included in the price of each cage)
Each one of the below cages weighs in at over 600 pounds. Very doubtful that anyone is just going to
rip them out of the ground.
Of course each one of these have our trademark access doors for service and convenience.

This particular installation wasn't due to A/C theft, they actually had a problem multiple times of
persons splitting the freon line in order to "huff" its contents. Oh yeah.....this is at a
CHURCH....no respect at all.
Dual A/C cage. This particular model has two different size air conditioners so we just go on
the dimensions of the largest area needed. This one also had a smaller pad so ground stakes
were added for a concrete back fill on each one. Both Master Locks keyed the same for easier
handling. It only needed a top lid, no side doors, due to the fact that there is a lot of open
space once the top is opened

Our basic color for cages is black, custom colors are available.

One custom color we offer is a sandstone.

These two particular cages were custom made per instruction for a customer in Pensacola. They
wanted 2"x2"x1/4" angle and double layered expanded metal with legs for post hole mounting

Small Utility Box
This one is mostly for small components such as control or electrical boxes.
This particular unit doesn't have the lock box on it due to a small cage below it
wouldn't open fully because it was in the way.
