American-Made Guards from a Name You Can Trust

Need to cover clocks, fire alarms, exit signs and more? We have a guard to protect your products from intentional or accidental abuse. Our warehouse is stocked full of protective wire guards to fit any need.


Purpose-designed guards for clocks prevent damage and tampering in gyms, locker rooms, hallways and other high traffic areas.

Options for steel wire or polycarbonate construction allow you to tailor a solution that provides the necessary amount of protection for your application while still maintaining easy visibility of the clock.

Heavy-duty steel wire cage guards provide the ultimate in protection for exit signs, emergency lighting and other critical safety and security infrastructure.

Polycarbonate guards offer protection from incidental damage without limiting visibility. In addition to protecting emergency equipment, these guards are also an excellent solution for wireless access points, audiovisual receivers and other sensitive equipment that can be susceptible to signal interference from a metal guard.

Protect smoke detectors, fire alarm pull stations, sprinkler heads, and other critical fire safety infrastructure with our wide selection of specialty guards.

Options include:

  • Steel wire guards for static installations, such as smoke and heat detectors.
  • Hinged sheet metal guards for pull stations and other equipment requiring access.
  • Hinged polycarbonate guards for accessible hardware that requires easy visibility.
  • Polycarbonate guards with integral audio alarms to guard against tampering.

Guards designed to cover the everyday infrastructure your facility depends on. Striking a balance between light/sound emission and protection from damage and tampering, our broad selection of bell, horn, and strobe guards is compatible with a wide variety of the most popular models of equipment.

EverAlert equipment guards are tailor-made for protecting your facility’s EverAlert system against damage, vandalism, tampering, and more.

From wire guards for individual speaker installations on up to our durable, crystal-clear hybrid wire/poly Dynamic Display guard and 55″ large-format TV guard, these products have what it takes to keep your critical communication infrastructure in top condition.
