UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes
Safes for Schedule Narcotics and Cannabis Storage

DEA Security Requirements for the Non-Practitioner from the DEA Office of Diversion Control - Security Outline of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 permits the use of either a GSA Approved Class 5 or a UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safe for the storage of Schedule I and II Narcotics.


Customization to fit exact requirements

Unlike GSA Approved Containers, which are only manufactured in specific sizes and configurations, and which cannot be physically modified in any way without invalidating the GSA certification, UL Listed Safes can be manufactured in a very wide range of sizes and configurations and can even been custom manufactured to exact requirements for a specific installation or application.


Government vs Private Organizations

A limited number of government organizations have a specific requirement which mandates the use of GSA Approved Class 5 Containers for narcotics and cannabis storage. But, most, and virtually all commercial and private organizations can choose either GSA Approved Class 5 or UL Listed Safes to meet their federal and state secure storage requirements. For these customers, the UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes are generally a better choice as they are much more configurable, less costly, offer higher security, in most cases meet minimum weight requirements without the necessity of using an external bolt down kit, and where required these kits are literally built into the safes. Many also feature a UL Fire rating, where GSA Approved Containers do not, and feature a penetrating hole for the routing of internal alarm sensor wiring which GSA Approved Containers universally lack.


Lock Configurations for UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes

UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes, all of which are equipped with the required UL Listed Group 1-R Locks and are available in three different levels of security protection. These are:

UL TL15 -- 15 Man Minutes Against Forced Entry
UL TL30 -- 30 Man Minutes Against Forced Entry
UL TL30X6 -- 30 man Minutes Against Forced Entry All Six Sides*

* This is an extremely high security safe which is normally used when storing very large amounts of cash, precious metals, gemstones, etc. While it is approved for narcotics storage it is not required by any authority.


Features of UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes

All our UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes are equipped with the UL Listed Group 1R Lock ( Typically a Sargent and Greenleaf 8560 or 2937.) They also all offer a one hour UL fire rating, have a penetrating access hole for the routing of alarm wiring to facilitate the installation of an internal alarm sensor, and include a bolt down provision (even safes weighing over 750 Lbs.) with hardware. The latter is useful for very heavy safes in areas where there are ground motion concerns (earthquakes) and if there can be a tip over risk for any reason.

Our standard sizes of UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safes are detailed in the table below. We also have a wide range of different interior components including drawers, extendable pharmacy style shelves and key lockable 10 Gauge Steel compartments. These can be custom designed to meet your specific needs.


Physical and Structural Considerations for Placement.

If you determine you have a requirement for a UL Listed Burglary Resistant Safe, please note these units are quite heavy. Consideration must be given to placement and installation access, as well as the ability of the floor structure of your building, or ship, to support one, or more, containers. When ordering, you must be specific as to exactly where the container is to be placed, regarding elevators, stairs, etc., as well as the unloading facilities, i.e., docks, forklifts, present at your location. If special delivery services are required, and available in your area, these plans must be made at the time your order is placed.
