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 BS2881:1989 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.

Our cabinet are constructed from at least 1.5mm thick steel.
We use piano hinges to hold the doors in place. As a result, we increase the access size into the cabinet. Most of all this enables you to make better use of the internal space. The piano hinge is also stronger than other hinging methods, adding further to the security level offered by our cabinets.
As an optional extra we can fit the following options to your CD cabinet (or Medicine cabinet)
- Visual alarm, this is a warning light that is activated when the door is open. It’s a 9 Volt self-contained unit.
- Volt-free door switch – this is designed to connect the cabinet to an external nurse call system or warning light.
