• Protection from unauthorized access: the double wall and EN 1300 lock counter theft and burglary, a critical element in environments where controlled medicines have high economic and sought-after value.
• Standardized internal organization: the 4 aluminum drawers with dividers facilitate categorization by active ingredient, batch, or expiration date, reducing retrieval times and distribution errors.
• Permanent structural stability: the weight of 325 kg and the floor anchoring (with kit included) prevent unauthorized movement and tipping, an essential requirement in high-traffic contexts.
• Guaranteed regulatory compliance: EN 1143-1 and EN 1300 certifications meet industry standards for pharmacies and hospitals, simplifying audits and compliance checks.
• Controlled ergonomic accessibility: extractable drawers allow for easy handling of pharmaceutical containers without fatigue, maintaining traceability through the centralized lock.
• Flexibility in arrangement: the 45 × 30 cm space per drawer and the 12.5 cm center distance allow for adaptation to different bottle and package sizes without structural reconfiguration.

The safe is intended for community pharmacies for the storage of medicines subject to mandatory medical prescription and hospital pharmacies for the deposit of narcotics and high unit cost specialized therapies.

In hospital settings, it finds application in internal pharmacies, oncology, anesthesia, and pain therapy departments, where physical segregation of controlled medicines from unplanned access is necessary.

It is also suitable for private clinics, authorized pharmaceutical laboratories, and specialized veterinary facilities that require certified storage of active ingredients at risk of theft.

It can be integrated into limited public access environments (back office, internal warehouse) where the risk of burglary is moderate-high and the image of professionalism and regulatory compliance is decisive for the facility’s credibility.

This safe is the correct choice when the facility must balance certified protection and daily operations. Unlike simple cabinets or passive containers, the double wall and EN certifications offer a barrier recognized by regulations and insurers, reducing insurance premiums and the risk of civil liability in case of theft.

It is suitable when the frequency of access to medicines is regular (several times a day) and the speed of retrieval must remain high: the 4 extractable drawers allow for quick localization of the required therapy without compromising on security.

The operational prerequisite is the availability of dedicated floor space (60 × 50 cm footprint) in an area protected from vehicular traffic, as the 325 kg weight and anchoring require a structurally adequate slab.

It is the mandatory solution for those who must document compliance with the EN 1143-1 standard during inspections by control bodies or insurance companies, avoiding the risk of non-compliance found in unknown brand safes.

What is the difference between this safe and a pharmaceutical cabinet with a simple lock?

A cabinet with a conventional lock only offers access control, but not mechanical resistance to burglary. This safe is EN 1143-1 certified, which means the double wall has been tested to withstand break-in attempts with common tools (drills, crowbars, hammers). A simple cabinet, on the other hand, can be forced open in minutes. For controlled and high-value medicines, certification is not optional from a regulatory standpoint.

Can I install the safe without floor anchoring?

No. The provision for floor anchoring is part of the design; fixing prevents movement and tipping, especially in environments with goods handling or crowding. In the event of an insurance or inspection check, the absence of anchoring may lead to the rejection of a claim in case of theft and the failure to recognize regulatory compliance.

How many types of medicines can I hold in the 4 drawers?

There is no absolute number, as it depends on the size of the packages. Each drawer has a usable space of 45 × 30 cm and a clear height of 12.5 cm. The internal dividers can be reconfigured depending on the desired layout. On average, for standard-sized bottles and blisters, each drawer contains between 40 and 100 items, depending on stacking density.

Is the lock reinforced according to EN 1300?

Yes. The EN 1300 certification verifies the resistance performance of the locking mechanism against specific break-ins. This means the key lock is not a simple latch, but a mechanism tested to withstand forcing techniques. However, keys must be kept in a separate location and the number of copies must be limited to maintain the integrity of the protection.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the drawers?

It is not specified in the data sheet, but given the aluminum construction and the intended use (medicines, which have variable but generally low density), the drawers are designed for distributed loads up to 20-30 kg per unit. Point loading should be avoided; uniform distribution on the base plane is the correct operating condition.

Does the safe comply with hospital pharmacy and DEA standards?

EN 1143-1 certification meets European requirements for burglary protection, and EN 1300 concerns locks. However, for use in hospital pharmacies and for the storage of narcotics, it is necessary to verify compliance with local regulations (Balduzzi Law in Italy, DEA in the USA, etc.), as some jurisdictions require higher-grade safes or additional certifications. It is recommended to consult the territorial control body before purchase.
