Acorn Wire + Iron Works is a U.S.-based manufacturer of security folding gates and wire mesh partition systems used in safety, security, loss prevention, and traffic control applications. Established in 1913, the company designs and produces solutions intended to deliver physical security while maintaining visibility, supervision, and ventilation. Its product range includes standard and custom wire mesh panels, doors, and windows in both standard-duty (10-gauge) and heavy-duty (6-gauge) configurations, as well as fixed and portable security folding gates.
All Acorn products are designed and manufactured in the United States at the company’s Chicago facility, where engineering, production, sales, and administrative operations are centralized. The company sources steel exclusively from American suppliers and does not operate manufacturing or distribution facilities outside the U.S. Acorn has contributed to the development of industry standards for wire mesh partitions and continues to refine its products through proprietary components and manufacturing methods. Products are manufactured using 100% recycled, carbon-neutral steel and qualify for LEED points, supporting sustainable building practices.
