Our metal medical cabinets offer a combination of security and utility to ensure they meet your needs during a medical emergency. Locking medical cabinets make sure medicine is there when you need it, and high-visibility paint and labels can help locate the cabinet, even in the dark.
Locking Medical Cabinets: What You Need to Know
Medical supplies cabinets help operators prepare commercial establishments for a wide range of potential medical emergencies. Our metal medical cabinets offer several features to keep your emergency supplies safe and easily accessible:
- Metal casing provides durability
- Locking mechanism deters theft
- Vibrant paint increases visibility
- Glow-in-the-dark labels function in power outages
These medical security cabinets can alleviate some potential problems that arise during an emergency. If the power goes out, glow-in-the-dark labels guide users to find needed equipment or medicine, even without proper lighting. Locks ensure the emergency equipment and medicine you store in the cabinet are still there when you need them, and their metal construction means you won't have to replace your cabinet for years and years. We'll go over the products and answer common questions below to ensure you get the right medical supplies cabinet for your establishment.
Common Questions About Medical Supplies Cabinets
What makes these cabinets different from a regular cabinet?
Our metal medical cabinets share several features and functions with normal cabinets; they have adjustable shelves, two hinged doors, and can be mounted on a wall wherever is most useful. However, when it comes to safety equipment, you need more than just a regular cabinet. The first thing you may notice about these medical supplies cabinets is that they're a bright orange color – this helps people find the cabinet, or even remember its existence, during high-stress times. The bright color sets it apart and draws the eye, increasing the chances the cabinet and the important supplies inside are used in an emergency.
Next, the cabinets come with locks. Depending on the type of medical equipment you store inside, the contents could be very expensive or very useful to potential thieves, so locking medical supplies away is important. Additionally, if children are around, locking the cabinet can prevent accidental ingestion, which can be dangerous and even fatal, depending on the medicine inside. Consult the product specifications page to determine how many keys come with each unit.
The heavy-duty, metal construction of the cabinet helps ensure your products will be safe and untampered in the event of an emergency. The cabinet's fire-resistant design keeps your safety supplies usable even after a small fire.
The last major difference is the glow-in-the-dark labeling. In an emergency, you can't always rely on proper lighting being available. Glow-in-the-dark labeling can fix both problems; put a label underneath a charged flashlight and you're set.
Should I get a cabinet with a power strip?
Power strips are the major differentiator between models. Some medical supplies cabinets can be connected to electricity and then provide several outlets to keep equipment inside the cabinet charged. If you have several pieces of emergency equipment that rely upon electricity, the extra cost of a power strip cabinet could be worth the insurance that your devices will be fully charged if the power does go out. Consider what emergency equipment you'll store in the cabinet, confirm the cabinet is large enough to house it, and determine whether or not you would benefit from having a power strip available on the inside of the cabinet.
