WireCrafters DEA Case Study

Written by Tom Compton

Challenge

A drug manufacturer and distributor needed a DEA level secured storage cage for Schedule III through V controlled substances as stipulated by Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations. The substances require a high level of security to comply with the strict DEA requirements. Check the end of this Case Study for the full list of DEA specifications.

The drug manufacturer contacted Joe with ISSMH about the application they needed to protect their inventory and comply with federal regulations.

Solution

WireCrafters cages meet or exceed the strict specifications from the DEA and also provide a customizable application to fit any facility's unique needs. WireCrafters cages have self-closing and self-locking doors with a push bar exit. All bolts needed to be tamper proof or welded/brazed to prevent removal. ISSMH also spec’d an open/close power sliding gate for the cage. 

In order to comply with the DEA regulations, a full custom installation service is required. ISS Material Handling has installers with the experience and tools to build a custom cage to fit each facility's design. 

Results

Joe designed the custom WireCrafters cage that complied with all of the strict DEA regulations while still providing a great storage solution to the drug manufacturer.
