Chain link, mesh, and woven metal fencing systems are components of access control systems.

Many styles of chain link, mesh and woven metal fencing systems
are available to the public transportation industry, ranging from very high-security expanded metal mesh to more conventional and cost-effective chain link and woven metal fencing systems.
