New Medicine Cabinet/Storage

Specialties School

Published

Hi all-

I'll be working in an elementary school next year and am looking to give the health office a much needed facelift! The walls desperately need painting, less harsh lights are in order and the soap dispenser would be more helpful if it actually stayed attached to the wall. *vent over*

Anyway! I'd like to replace the medicine cabinet we have. Although I appreciate antiques, a rusty old cabinet that does not reliably lock is not what I'm going for. However, I'm finding it difficult to find a replacement that does not cost over $1,000. It may be wishful thinking and they do all, in fact, cost a fortune, but wanted to see if anyone had any secret place to look. It definitely needs to lock, as meds are stored in it, but otherwise I'm not overly picky. I'm just wanting no rust at this point. Thanks!!

What about a locking tool chest?

Something like this: Husky 37 in. 5-Drawer Mobile Workbench with Solid Wood Top, Black HMT-305MWB at The Home Depot - Mobile

I have also heard of some nurses just using a file cabinet with a lock or installing a lock on one of their clinic's regular wall cabinet doors.

I use a rolling, locking tool chest similar to this:
