Installation and setup

The PG3A cage is designed for straightforward installation around an existing projector and mount.

This approach minimizes downtime and avoids the need to reposition cables or adjust the projector’s placement.

Ideal uses and environments

This security cage is well suited for environments where projectors are left unattended but must remain protected and fully operational. It works effectively in school gyms, multi-purpose rooms, lecture halls, and community centers where foot traffic and activity levels are high. Maintenance teams benefit from easy access for routine tasks, making it a practical choice for facilities management.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
