Controlled Drugs Cabinets

Controlled drugs cabinets are specialized cabinets used to store controlled drugs safely and securely in healthcare facilities. These cabinets are fully compliant with “The Misuse of Drugs (safe custody) regulations 1973” and BS 2881:1989 level one. These are the legal regulations and requirements for the storage of a controlled drug in the United Kingdom.

The use of controlled drugs cabinets is essential in ensuring the safety and security of controlled drugs and preventing their misuse or diversion. Healthcare facilities are required to maintain strict records of all controlled drugs received, dispensed, and destroyed, and controlled drugs cabinets play a critical role in facilitating this process.

The cabinets are designed specifically to store controlled drugs. The cabinet is constructed from at least 1.5 mm thick steel this provides added security.

Designed with piano hinges to hold the doors in place, as a result, it increases the access size into the cabinet making better use of the internal space. The piano hinge is also stronger than other hinging methods.
