You will get efficient and thoughtful service from EVERGREAT.

All doors must be self-closing, and self-locking and hinged doors close with hydraulics. Standard Southwest Solutions mortise locks meet the DEA&#;s requirements.

Sliding doors up to 80 square feet in size and balanced with counterweights for easy operation. The sliding doors are pulled open, and the offsets automatically bring the door back to the closed and locked position.

Electric door openers with a timer and electric eye for safety are available for sliding doors over 80 square feet. Click here to view DEA-compliant storage cage videos.

The pharmaceutical wire partitions are flush with the floor in the DEA-compliant pharmacy drug storage cages. Only the doors are allowed a small clearance from the bottom to operate freely.

Wire cages must consist of wire mesh ceiling panels, or the cage must go up to the existing roof structure. All hardware must also be brazed or pinned according to the DEA so the cage cannot disassemble.

Southwest Solutions Group pharmaceutical wire partitions are the best choice for a DEA-approved application. The tubular post uprights have a welded base plate rather than a floor socket and are pre-drilled, so the panels mount flush to the floor.

All the installation and assembly hardware is already inside the cage, making it secure and inaccessible from the outside. The cage includes a wire mesh ceiling with self-closing and self-locking hinged doors. Click to see budget pricing and Revit downloads.

Key features of Wirecrafters DEA Cages

What are the standards for narcotics and other controlled substance security?

Compliance with Drug Enforcement Agency regulations for in-plant security of controlled substances presents recurring problems for drug manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers. Wire partitions help solve this problem. Properly installed security partitions meet D.E.A. requirements for physical security of Class III, IV, and V controlled substances as outlined in Section :72 of the Code.

Drug and Pharmaceutical industry's security storage needs require specific specifications

Class III, IV, and V controlled substance storage areas require a high level of security to pass D.E.A. inspections. Such an installation (as pictured on the left) has many notable features.

Drug industry standards

• Doors must be self-locking and self-closing. We offer a full line of standard, self-closing, self-locking, hinged and sliding gates. A number of compliant locking systems are available.
• Walls must be built with at least No. 10 steel fabric with openings no larger than 2-1/2" across the square. Steel posts must be no more than ten feet apart, with horizontal reinforcement required. These cages meet that standard with, 2" x 1" openings and horizontal reinforcement every 60 inches.
• Walls must be mounted to posts of at least 1" diameter, bolted to the floor. Our cages feature 2" square posts with base plates built for floor anchoring welded to each post. Lag bolts must be pinned or brazed after installation.
• Ceilings shall be built of the same materials as walls, and built to reach the building's structural ceiling. Our cages use the same panel and construction. These cages use a stacked panel design that can reach nearly any height in any building or plant. Style 840 Partitions use twenty standard size panels to build any height wall or clear span ceilings up to 35 feet wide. The panels mount to two inch square tubular posts. Most enclosures can be built from standard modular parts. We can create custom applications and can handle any special requirements your installation may need.
• Panels shall be flush to the floor. Our cages eliminate this sweep space and conform to this requirement. Modifying the hole layout on stock posts eliminates the sweep space and allows the panels to mount flush.
• The D.E.A. requires that all mounting hardware be brazed, pinned, or tack welded in place. Our partitions make this job easier by allowing the installer clear access to the hardware from inside of the cage.

Partitions must mount flush to the floor, leaving no sweep space
