Safer Lock

Gatekeeper Innovation Inc.'s Safer Lock is a patented 4-digit combination locking cap that can be used on the Safer Lock bottle or on many other pharmaceutical vials. Patients create and set their personal combination from 10,000 possibilities. Only that combination will open a bottle secured with a Safer Lock, which keeps non-patients from pilfering medication without detection. Safer Lock, a "locking prescription closure" (LPC) device, is manufactured by Gatekeeper Innovation Inc., which is headquartered in Sacramento, California. The Safer Lock is designed to help protect children from accidental poisoning and to keep powerful medications in the hands of the proper patient. The opioid epidemic sweeping our nation has gained a foothold through single pills that were pilfered from the medicine cabinet. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are the most commonly misused substances by Americans age 14 and older, after marijuana and alcohol. In the 2016 Monitoring the Future study, 18% of twelfth graders reporting misusing prescription medications at some point in the past. Depending upon their personal risk factors, many of those teens will become addicted to powerful opioid pain medications. Even if they don't become addicted, taking medications intended for someone else has serious risks with sometimes fatal consequences. And diverting medications from the intended patient can leave a chronic pain patient in intractable pain when they run short of their medication after pills were unobtrusively stolen from their bottle. The Safer Lock is available as an individual locking bottle or multi-prescription locking box. Safer Locks are assets to hospital systems, medication manufacturers, youth fundraisers, chronic pain patients, and families who want to ensure that the right medications stay in the right hands. Convenient, affordable, and easy to use....Live Safer.
