Government rules and regulations require healthcare facilities to keep narcotics in secure locations. By storing drugs in a heavy duty wall mountable narcotics cabinet like this one, you can keep the potentially dangerous and addictive drugs out of the hands of individuals who may abuse them while still having them near at hand for patients who need them. We produce an assortment of narcotic lock boxes to help you keep both your controlled substances and your business secure including wood look cabinets, slim profile boxes and cabinets with audio/visual alarms. Narcotics safes that include both a locked outer door and locked inner door comply with most JCAHO and state regulations for the highest level of security. NC24C16-SE1 Tall Narcotics Cabinet with Electronic Lock, High-capacity controlled medication storage with programmable electronic access The NC24C16-SE1 is often selected by facilities that want the storage capacity of a taller narcotics cabinet, combined with the convenience and control of an electronic pushbutton lock. Built with a 24” H x 16” W x 8” D cabinet body, this model replaces mechanical locks with a single electronic locking door making it ideal for Schedule III, IV and V controlled substances. Clinical teams typically choose this cabinet when the priority shifts from dual-door compliance to efficient access control, user management and workflow flexibility—especially in environments where multiple staff members need controlled, trackable entry. What clinical teams say about this model Feedback around this cabinet often focuses on access control and ease of use. Common sentiments tend to sound like: “Managing user codes is easier than tracking physical keys.” “The keypad access speeds things up during busy medication passes.” “We like having supervisor-level control without complicating access for staff.” Facilities that have dealt with lost keys, shared access or frequent staff turnover often see electronic locking as a meaningful upgrade. Where this cabinet tends to fit best The NC24C16-SE1 is often a strong fit for: Long-term care and assisted living facilities Veterinary practices with multiple staff accessing medications Dental and oral surgery offices Clinics with routine medication dispensing workflows Medication rooms where controlled access needs to be efficient and flexible Its internal capacity supports a wide range of storage formats, including liquid bottles, punch cards and common medication packaging, making it adaptable to different dispensing methods. Why buyers choose this model Teams often select this cabinet because it simplifies access control while maintaining strong physical security. Key advantages include: Electronic pushbutton lock with programmable access codes Capacity for up to 20 user codes (19 users + 1 supervisor) Key lock override for backup access Visual indicators for pass/fail entry and low battery status Long battery life (up to 75,000 cycles under normal use) External battery replacement with tamper-resistant design Tall cabinet capacity with two adjustable/removable shelves for organized storage Heavy-duty steel construction with permanent mounting capability The ability to assign and manage user codes is especially valuable in environments where staffing changes are common or where access needs to be updated without rekeying locks. Why electronic access changes workflow Compared to traditional keyed cabinets, this model often improves day-to-day efficiency. Clinical teams frequently note: Faster access during medication rounds Reduced risk of lost or duplicated keys Easier control over who has access and when Simplified supervision through designated supervisor codes Who this narcotics cabinet is really for The NC24C16-SE1 is often ideal for facilities saying: “We want a larger narcotics cabinet with modern access control that supports multiple users without managing keys.” For Schedule III, IV and V applications where capacity, convenience and controlled access all matter, this model is often seen as a practical and forward-looking solution—especially for teams ready to move beyond traditional key-based systems.
