Detention Equipment for Federal/State Prisons and Jails

Detention equipment should stand up to day-to-day use. For this reason, you need durable and reliable equipment to keep your correctional facility, prison, or jail secure.

Willo Products is the go-to resource for detention equipment replacement and repair. We’ve helped more than 1,500 correctional facilities and detention centers in the U.S. and beyond with their detention equipment and prison security.

Benefits of Willo’s Detention Equipment

Our expertise involves a wide range of detention equipment, including security mesh, hollow metal windows and doors, bar grating, and security door and frame hardware.

  • Security mesh is made of high-strength and fire-resistant carbon steel material, which is ideal where concrete block or reinforced concrete cannot be used. It helps effectively eliminate the issue of break-outs and break-ins on metal stud framing.
  • Hollow metal windows and doors or detention doors and windows offer essential security for jails and prisons. Doors are bullet and forced-entry resistant and ASTM F1450-05 tested and certified. They have been tested for:
    • Door edge crush
    • Impact
    • Static load
    • Removable glass stop
    • Load
    • Rack
  • Bar grating, along with security mesh, offers clear site lines for resident observation and high-security means to keep inmates and officers secure. Our bar grating boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Willo’s security door and frame hardware or detention doors and frames are tested at ASTM F1450 standards and certified to be used in correctional facility and detention doors.

Additionally, we deliver the following outcomes for detention centers:

Cost-Effective Bids

Our comprehensive analysis of your project reveals cost-saving opportunities in your bid without sacrificing quality. Remember, cost optimization doesn’t mean taking shortcuts—our expertise allows us to refine processes and find innovative approaches to cut costs while maintaining and enhancing service quality for your jail or prison.

Fewer Unnecessary Questions

Rather than just listing requirements, we ensure our bid documents are clear and comprehensive. That way, stakeholders understand what is expected of them from the onset, reducing unnecessary back and forth. We keep our documents thorough, yet concise, and highlight all the deliverables, timelines, and other details.

Clear bid documents set the pace for effective communication to create a more collaborative project atmosphere. They also minimize the risk of incongruent expectations for better project fulfillment.

Reduced Change Orders

Change orders often disrupt project schedules by extending planning and execution timelines. They can also be costly, especially if they come with design alterations and additional materials.

While it’s hard to totally avoid change orders, our proactive approach identifies issues early on.

Cost & Time Savings

Our ongoing support reduces workflow disruptions to maintain project momentum for your facility. This way, you don’t have to worry about missed deadlines or other project delays. Additionally, we address design conflicts as they occur to minimize costly rework expenses.
