You wouldn't leave your cell phone unprotected as you venture into the unpredictable environments you encounter day-to-day. Your investment is just too great to risk it. But what about the investment you've made in your facility's clock system, and the other pieces of equipment you rely on to keep things running smoothly? That's worth protecting, too.

Guards for clocks and other pieces of vital equipment protect your investment from damage, vandalism, and theft. After all, it's not just the equipment you have to think about, but the environment that surrounds it. Here’s a look at the types of  equipment guards available, why they're important, and the best environments for them.

Once you’ve made the investment in a synchronized clock system, it is important to protect it. Whether it's from balls in a gym, mishaps on the factory floor, or anything else, it’s important to keep your clocks protected so they keep operating. Here’s how you can stop everything but time with wire guards.

Why protective guards are a good investment? Here are three key reasons:

1. Save money – If you have to replace a clock that becomes damaged, it will cost you more than the clock itself. There is the maintenance time to get up there and replace the clock, too. A clock wire guard is the best way to make sure that you don’t have to worry about your investment.

Clocks and protective guards go hand in hand. It's like buying a screen protector for your cellphone. Installing a synchronized time system is an investment that most organizations will expect to see a return on. The best way to ensure this is to buy guards to protect your clocks. This will make sure your organization always stays on time. 

There are two primary types of guards: metal and polycarbonate. Metal is the traditional wire guard with steel rods. Polycarbonate is a clear and hard material that can either cover the entire clock, or be open on the sides. Which ever one you choose, there are many situations where a protective guard is necessary.
