A Few Pieces During Production
4 cages · From · Made to orderMade to order. Current lead time 8–14 weeks.
Steel BDSM cages that define space rather than fill it. Upright and low forms in S235 steel, powder coated in the colour you choose, with an outward-opening door and a hasp for your own lock. Each one is built to sit in a room as an object in its own right when it isn't in use.
BDSM cages
A tall, narrow cage for standing. Tower fits a corner or an alcove and reads like a column of steel when it's closed and empty, which makes it easy to live with in a shared room.
Ask us about the form and dimensions of Slave before you order.
Low and long, for kneeling, sitting or lying down. Kennel tucks under eaves or at the foot of a bed, and its long, low line reads as a piece of furniture.
Ask us about the form and dimensions of Chamber before you order.

The object in the room
A cage spends most of its life empty. That's the starting point for how we design them. Whatever happens inside it during a scene, for the rest of the week it's a large steel object in your home, and it has to earn its place there. So the bars are fine, the proportions are drawn with care, and the finish matches the rest of the collection.

It helps to think of a cage the way you'd think of a large cabinet or a sculpture: what it looks like from the doorway, how it sits against the wall, what colour it is next to the floor. A cage that looks good closed and empty is one you'll keep in the room.
What a cage is for
A cage makes a boundary physical. In consensual power exchange it can mark a role, frame a ritual, or hold someone in place for an agreed time as part of a scene both people have chosen. For some it's about containment; for others it's about the moment the door closes, or the ritual of being let out.

Because the bars are open, the person inside can still see and be seen, hear and be heard. A cage keeps two people in contact while it holds one of them apart, and most of the feeling of using one comes from that tension.
Upright or low
Tower is an upright cage that stands tall and takes little floor. Kennel is low and long, for kneeling or lying. Ask us about the forms of Chamber and Slave. The right one depends on the scenes you have in mind and the room you have, so start with both.
Sizing a cage to the body
The inside of a cage should fit the positions you'll use with room to spare, so the person inside can shift their weight. Measure them in the position rather than standing, then send us the measurements and we'll check them against each cage before you order.
Measuring the room and the route in
Measure the floor area, the ceiling height for upright forms, and the narrowest doorway on the route in. Then allow for the space around the cage: the door opens outward, so leave clear floor in front of it, and room to move around it.

Comfort inside the cage
A mat or a folded blanket on the floor of the cage makes kneeling or lying easier to hold. Keep it clean and wipe it down after use.

A cage is open to the air on every side, so the room around it sets the temperature inside. Stone floors and basements get cold, and a person sitting still gets colder faster than someone moving around, so warm the room first and keep a blanket within reach. Avoid placing a cage against a radiator or in direct sun, where the steel can become uncomfortable to touch.
Locks, keys and a way out
Our cages come with a hasp rather than a fitted lock, so you choose how the door closes: a padlock, a combination lock or a clip that opens in a second. Never lock anyone in a cage alone or for an extended period.

If you use a key, keep it, and a spare, where the person outside can reach it without leaving the room. Agree beforehand what happens if the key is lost or the lock jams, and keep bolt cutters somewhere you can find them.
Consent and supervision
Agree how long, what happens inside, and how the person in the cage can signal to stop, before anyone goes in. Stay present, keep the door easy to open from outside, and never leave someone caged and unattended. Our journal covers negotiation and aftercare, and we'd always point newcomers to an experienced educator.

Start with short times and build up, and check in more often than you think you need to. Being let out is part of the scene too: have water, a blanket and somewhere comfortable to sit ready for afterwards.
A cage that's also furniture
Not every home has a room to give over to a cage. Kennel sits neatly along the foot of a large bed, and with a cushion or a throw on top it passes as furniture without a second look. Tower suits a corner or alcove, where it looks closer to a steel column than anything else. For more ways to keep a room discreet, see our guide to home dungeon design.
Where to put it
Place a cage where it reads well closed and empty. Against a wall it becomes a sculptural object; in a corner it takes the least space. Low forms tuck under eaves or at the foot of a bed.

Light changes how a cage looks more than any other piece. A lamp behind it throws the shadow of the bars across the floor and walls, and a low light keeps the person in the cage visible without lighting them like a stage.
Delivery and lead times
Made to order. Current lead time 8–14 weeks. We deliver to the UK, US and EU. Everything ships flat-packed. Delivery cost is shown before you pay.
When to go bespoke
Choose bespoke if you need a cage for two, an unusual size, a cage built into an alcove, or a different door position. Commissions use the same steel and finish as the collection, and you see drawings and a fixed quote before anything is made.

Safety
Not designed for suspension.
Never use any piece to hold a person's weight off the ground. Follow the assembly and fixing instructions, check the piece before each use, never leave a restrained person alone and keep safety shears within reach. Use is at your own risk; nothing on this site is medical or safety advice.
Never leave anyone caged and unattended.
BDSM cage questions
Will a cage fit through a standard doorway?
Cages ship flat-packed in panels. Send us your narrowest doorway and we'll check.
How much does a BDSM cage cost?
From £3,189 for Kennel to £4,498 for Slave, in any colour. Delivery cost is shown before you pay.
Which cage should I choose?
Tower for standing and small rooms, Kennel for kneeling or lying. Ask us about Chamber and Slave.
Does the cage come with a lock?
No. Each cage has a hasp for a lock of your choice, so you decide how the door closes.
Can the door be opened from inside?
Not as standard: the lock point is outside, so the person outside opens it. A door that opens from inside is available as a bespoke option. Never leave someone caged and unattended.
What goes on the floor of the cage?
A mat or a folded blanket makes kneeling or lying easier.
Can a cage be made to a different size?
Yes. Bespoke cages are drawn to your room and your brief.
What should I think about before using a cage?
Agree limits, check-ins and a way out before anyone goes inside, and never leave a person unattended. Our journal covers negotiation and consent in more depth.
How long does a cage take to arrive?
Made to order. Current lead time 8–14 weeks.
How do I clean a steel cage?
A soft cloth and mild soapy water, paying attention to the joints at the top and bottom of each bar, then dry it. The care guide has the rest.
