BS2881:1989 (Security Level One) Specification for Cupboards for the Storage of Medicines in Health Care Premises

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.

All Medicine Cabinets include the necessary fixings and delivery to mainland UK
CD cabinet warning light

As an optional extra we can fit the following options to your Medicine cabinet (or CD 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.
