High Security Storage Cabinet

I would suggest some initial brain storming and market research before going on shopping spree. It is necessary to evaluate the following-

1. The size of your lab, small or home based, or mid-size, or large.
2. The budget available for this purpose.
3. The size of the safe or cabinet required.
4. The amount of floor space available in your lab for the storage cabinet.
5. Availability of perimeter security, intrusion and fire alarm system.
6. Level of security needed.
7. Consider environment factors in order to maintain stable temperature and humidity in the safe room and install environment control system to detect exceeding levels of temperature and humidity.
8. Consult legal counsel or attorney to determine the proper method of preserving the chain-of-custody in the lab setting.

As a general rule, the storage cabinet should be made of steel as it will be much secure and must have an internal cabinet lock and external padlock in order to prevent the drawers from opening. Try to buy media safes safe as they are rated by the number of hours it takes before the contents are damaged by a fire or flood. The higher the rating the better the safe protects the evidence. Determine the amount of effort or energy needed to use the cabinet, as it must be comfortable in order to prevent repetitive-motion injuries, and satisfy health and safety regulations. Evaluate the building facility and consult the building facility coordinator whether it can withstand the weight of the heavy duty cabinet or if any upgrade is required for its transportation and installation and if necessary can that be achieved? Evidence lockers or cabinets must be secure so that no unauthorized person can easily access your evidence. Determine the access control mechanisms to be in place, follow dual key control policy, and nominate limited key holders and duplicate-key distribution, i.e., the number of people who will be authorized to access the evidence cabinet and key holders. Always make sure that “No master” key facility exists and maintain a key log.

If you're quoting verbatim someone else's work it might be good form to acknowledge your source.

I don't mean this to sound exceptionally sarcastic, but here you go.

I really hope there's a language barrier here, or that was just plain funny lol

I agree with you it is a language barrier, it appeared to me as an idiomatic expression.

Reminds me of the (possibly apocryphal) story of chemistry students going to the lab technician and asking where they can find the 'copious water' called for by their experiment.

Sure, it's slang, but since 1481! wink
