Abstract

A wire grid security enclosure with heavy duty latch mechanism is utilized to secure contents while allowing viewing of the contents within. The enclosure includes a base mount onto which a lateral wall is positioned. The enclosure includes an upper panel that closes the top portion of the lateral wall as well as a first door and a second door that are opened to gain access to the enclosure. The first door and the second door are prevented from opening by a first hooked rod and a second hooked rod. The first hooked rod and the second hooked rod are removably engaged to the upper panel as well as to the first door and the second door. The first hooked rod and the second hooked rod connect via a first locking tab and a second locking tab that are positioned on the first hooked rod and the second hooked rod.
