If your pharmacy, medical clinic, or healthcare facility stores controlled substances like narcotics, a
narcotic safe—also known as a pharmacy safe, clinic safe, or time-delay safe—is essential for
compliance, security, and liability reduction.
These safes are designed to meet strict
regulatory standards, ensuring that medications are securely stored and accessed only by authorized personnel.
A time-delay safe has a built-in delay
mechanism that temporarily restricts
access, deterring armed robbery and
reducing internal theft.
By securely locking away high-value
medications, you protect your patients, your staff, and your business from potential theft, misuse, and legal consequences.
A narcotic safe is a must-have for pharmacies,
veterinary clinics, dental offices, and
healthcare centers to maintain compliance
and safeguard controlled substances.

Advance Security’s narcotic safes use advanced security features designed for high-risk
environments. Here’s how they work:
Pharmacist enters the security code
to unlock the safe.
Time-delay feature activates, requiring
a preset wait time (5-15 minutes).
After the delay, the pharmacist can
access the medications.
Prevents forced-entry robberies since
thieves cannot open the safe immediately.

What type of safe is used in a pharmacy?
Pharmacies typically use high-security safes designed for controlled drug storage, often equipped with time-delay locking systems to restrict immediate access.
Delmen safes come equipped with La Gard time-delay locks to support secure and controlled access in daily operations.
Why is a time-delay lock important in a pharmacy safe?
A time-delay lock prevents the safe from opening instantly, even with the correct code.
This acts as a deterrent against theft and adds an extra layer of security for controlled substances.
What features should I look for in a pharmacy safe?
Practical features matter most — like internal organization, ease of access, and secure installation.
Delmen safes include rollout drawers to help organize contents and improve accessibility during daily use.
Can pharmacy safes be bolted down?
Yes. Safes are typically designed to be bolted to the floor to prevent movement or removal.
Delmen safes are built to support secure anchoring, which is an important part of overall installation and safety.
How do I choose the right safe size for my pharmacy?
It depends on the volume of medications, storage requirements, and available space.
Choosing the right size ensures you have enough capacity without overcrowding or limiting access.
