The product involved, and the perception that huge amounts of cash are involved, make dispensaries tempting targets.Insurance may be difficult to obtain which opens up business owners to out-of-pocket losses.Start-up loans are extremely hard to get, so more out-of-pocket money is required to open a business.Banking difficulties may require that more cash be kept on-site.Regulations are likely to change at the local, state and federal levels. What you spend today to comply with regulations might be wasted money by next year.In one way or another, the following products will help with physical security issues:\u00a0 Door locks & hardware, safes & vault doors, camera systems, alarm & monitoring systems.\u00a0 Hoogerhyde deals with the first two of these.Locks:\u00a0 A dispensary\u2019s building should have high security locks.\u00a0 Avoid using residential quality locks that you buy at box stores.\u00a0 Commercial grade locks are much stronger so they will slow down would-be burglars.\u00a0 Restricted key systems will prevent employees from having duplicate keys made without authorization.\u00a0 Consider up-grading to keyless locks to eliminate keys altogether.Safes:\u00a0 Most cannabis suppliers for whom we have provided safes have chosen to save money by purchasing less security than we would recommend.\u00a0 This is usually because cash is in short supply when starting the business without bank loans.\u00a0 Naturally, safes are important for protecting inventory and cash.\u00a0 We always have a selection of used high security safes in stock to help save money.If a business does not have good insurance a break-in could cause a major financial loss.\u00a0 Top notch physical security then becomes especially important, to minimize potential loss.\u00a0 Besides that, a vault with a high security rating may be a requirement to be insured.\u00a0 One of our dispensary clients who purchased what we consider to be an appropriate safe, was told by his insurance company that a TL-15 rated safe was needed to obtain coverage.If the federal government eventually relaxes marijuana laws, it may require suppliers to comply with the same D.E.A. requirements that it dictates when dealing with other controlled substances. \u00a0In that case the dispensary that initially bought a cheap safe would need to spend money again to buy a TL-15.Hoogerhyde Safe can help protect your medical marijuana business.\u00a0 Out store is in Grand Rapids but we deliver to anywhere in Michigan.\u00a0 We have a big assortment of new and used safes, from small to huge — and vault doors.\u00a0 We also have the knowledge to answer your questions.\u00a0 In addition, we can increase your building\u2019s security by installing high quality locks and key systems."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"2018","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2018\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"05","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2018\/\/05\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Safes and Locks for Marijuana Dispensaries and Suppliers","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2018\/05\/safes-locks-marijuana-dispensaries-suppliers\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
