In the fast-paced world of foodservice, security and efficient use of space are top priorities. New Age Industrial Aluminum Security Fences offer a unique solution for bars, restaurants, and kitchens, addressing both concerns.
Aluminum: The Unbeatable Choice for Food Service Security
When it comes to fencing for food service applications, aluminum reigns supreme. Unlike traditional chain-link fences, which are susceptible to rust and corrosion, aluminum offers unmatched durability. This is especially crucial in walk-in coolers, where moisture can wreak havoc on traditional fencing materials.
Cathy O’Shia, VP of Sales-Foodservice at New Age Industrial, emphasized, “Aluminum will never rust or corrode, ensuring long-lasting performance in even the most demanding food service environments.”
Beyond Rust Resistance: Functionality and Design
Foodservice professionals prioritize specific features when choosing a security fence. Security is paramount, particularly for areas storing high-value items like liquor or expensive cuts of meat. Aluminum security fences from New Age Industrial integrate seamlessly with locking mechanisms, providing a robust barrier against theft.
Ventilation is another key consideration. Unlike solid barriers, aluminum fences allow for proper air circulation, maintaining optimal temperatures within your walk-in cooler.
Cathy underscored the importance of considering the layout of your walk-in cooler: “Fences are installed between the floor and ceiling. It’s crucial to determine what you’re storing and how much secure space you actually need.”
New Age Industrial’s aluminum security fences are highly customizable, allowing you to configure them to perfectly fit your specific space constraints, accommodating structural elements like columns and condensate fans. Fence options range from one or two door configurations with sliding door or hinged door(s) that swing left or right.
Creative Uses for Aluminum Security Fences
The benefits of aluminum security fences extend far beyond walk-in coolers. Cathy shared some creative applications she’s encountered:
- Beer Caves: Sectioning off a beer cave within a larger walk-in cooler in bars or restaurants to avoid large costs incurred by installing an additional walk-in cooler.
- Food Halls, Stadiums, and Schools: Creating multiple, secure storage areas within a single cooler for food halls, stadiums, or schools with multiple users.
- Convenience Store Security: As beer caves become more common, security fences can effectively separate customer-accessible areas from employee-only sections within the cold storage room, reducing theft risks.
- Shared Coolers: Ghost kitchens or food courts can keep their ingredients separate from a kitchen mate by installing a fence within a cooler.
- Maximizing Space: Restaurants lacking space for a dedicated beer cooler can section off a portion of their existing cold storage with a security fence, keeping beer separate while using the same refrigeration unit.
Beyond Security: Addressing Theft Concerns
Theft is a major concern for bar and restaurant owners, especially when it comes to expensive meat, seafood, and liquor. Aluminum security fences act as a deterrent against theft, providing an additional layer of security for your valuable inventory, including internal theft.
Aluminum Security Fences: Beyond Walk-In Coolers
The applications for aluminum security fences in foodservice extend beyond walk-in coolers. They can be used to create secure storage areas within dry storage rooms, particularly beneficial in older buildings with existing structures that can’t be easily moved. These fences are also ideal for uniquely shaped areas that require a secure storage solution.
Security fences offer a versatile solution for restaurants, ghost kitchens, food courts, and convenience stores, among other industries. Protect high-value inventory such as expensive liquor in dry storage areas by utilizing a heavy-duty security fence, deterring theft.

Question: Compared to other fencing options, why might aluminum be a particularly suitable choice for foodservice security?
Answer: Aluminum is an ideal choice for foodservice security primarily because it will never rust or corrode, unlike traditional chain-link fences which can deteriorate over time, compromising security and aesthetics.
Question: Compared to chain link or steel, why might aluminum be a better choice for a walk-in cooler security fence?
Answer: Aluminum’s resistance to rust and corrosion makes it superior for walk-in cooler security. Chain-link fences, typically galvanized, are prone to rust and corrosion in the moist conditions of a cooler environment.
Question: Are there specific features people prioritize when purchasing a security fence for a foodservice establishment?
Answer: Security is paramount when selecting a fence for foodservice establishments. Additionally, liquor control often necessitates locking up beer, requiring secure fencing solutions.
Question: What are some key considerations for bar or restaurant owners when choosing and installing a security fence?
Answer: Owners should focus on the material—opting for rust-resistant aluminum—ventilation to maintain required temperatures, and ensuring the fence is secure with a locking door. The design should accommodate the space, with attention to structural components like columns and fans.
Question: Are there any creative ways you’ve seen restaurants utilize aluminum security fence for security or functionality in a walk-in cooler?
Answer: Restaurants have creatively used aluminum fences to section off beer caves within larger coolers, partition spaces for multiple organizations in food halls or schools, and even as privacy walls for outdoor patios.
Question: What are some of the security risks bar and restaurant owners are most concerned about when it comes to a walk-in cooler?
Answer: Theft is a primary concern due to the value of stored items like expensive food and alcohol. Aluminum security fences help mitigate these risks and meet government requirements for secure storage.
Question: Besides in walk-ins, how else are aluminum security fences utilized in the foodservice industry?
Answer: Aluminum security fences are versatile and find use in dry storage areas, offering secure storage without HVAC concerns. They are also utilized in uniquely shaped spaces and outdoors to conceal equipment or condensers, ensuring security and efficiency across foodservice operations.
