Custom Lockable Protection Cages – Built to Suit Your Site, Not Just a Standard Size

by kyle Sevenoaks

When it comes to protecting RPZD / backflow devices, water meters, valves, and exposed pipework, a one-size-fits-all cage rarely works. Every site is different — pipe locations, drains, wall clearances, access requirements, and council or site compliance all vary.

That’s exactly why we’ve expanded our range at Stick-Dat to include custom-built lockable protection cages, designed and fabricated in Australia to suit real-world installations.

Why Standard Cages Often Fall Short

Plumbers, builders, facilities managers, and property owners regularly run into the same issues:

  • Pipes entering from unexpected directions

  • Drains that must remain accessible

  • Valves that require servicing without full cage removal

  • Tight wall clearances or uneven surfaces

  • No room for padlocks or signage once installed

A standard cage may fit on paper — but not once it’s on the wall.

Our Solution: Custom Cages Built Around Your Requirements

Our lockable cages are fabricated to suit your setup, not the other way around. Using heavy-duty steel frames and welded mesh, each cage can be customised with:

✔ Custom Dimensions

Small, medium, large, or fully custom measurements based on your site and equipment.

✔ Flexible Access Options

Choose where you need access:

  • Hinged top lid

  • Hinged front or side panels

  • Bottom cut-outs for drains

  • Side or rear pipe penetrations

✔ Lockable & Secure

Designed to accept padlocks or tamper-resistant fixings to help prevent:

  • Vandalism

  • Theft

  • Unauthorised operation of valves

Optional Signage & Branding Panels

To take protection a step further, we also offer front signage panels that can be added to any cage size.

These can include:

  • Safety or warning text

  • Business branding

  • Full-colour printed graphics

  • Stick-Dat branded designs

This is ideal for commercial sites, schools, apartments, retail spaces, and councils, where visibility and identification matter just as much as security.

Built for Trades, Facilities & Property Managers

These cages are commonly used for:

  • RPZD & backflow prevention devices

  • Water meters

  • Irrigation valves

  • Gas meters

  • Pump and valve assemblies

  • Commercial & strata installations

Everything is designed with real servicing access in mind, so plumbers can do their job without cutting cages off or removing pipework.
