Secure, space-saving solutions for records and confidential filesLocking tambour doors provide an additional layer of security for police departments, offices, manufacturing facilities, and other workplaces that store particularly valuable items or confidential files. For this new courthouse in Tennessee, Spacesaver integrated tambour doors from Pentagon Security Shutters with shelving and high-density systems to create convenient, visually appealing solutions that save space and maintain confidentiality. |

Vol. 172: Compacting Reserve Desk
Secure storage for library materialsA growing number of university libraries are staying open 24 hours a day to meet increased student demand for study areas and collaboration space. Because circulation desks typically aren’t staffed around the clock, libraries need a secure way to store materials that have been requested for pick-up. For this library in Kentucky, Spacesaver designed a counter-height compacting system that could be expanded for easy access in the morning, and then closed and locked at night. |

Vol. 171: 4-Post ‘Cabinet’ in Widespan
Protecting and organizing a museum’s conservation suppliesConservators at this museum needed to store large pieces of foam and archival paperboard, as well as pre-constructed archival boxes, rolled foam, and other supplies. They also wanted part of the storage area to be lockable. They chose Spacesaver’s RaptorRAC® Widespan Shelving for its spacious dimensions, durability, and configurability. Two sets of tall locking doors were fitted to 4-Post shelving inside one of the openings, creating secure “cabinets” within the RaptorRAC framework. |

Vol. 170: Ballistic panels for evidence lockers
Protecting law enforcement personnel from accidental weapons dischargeWhile accidental weapons discharges in law enforcement facilities are rare, the incidents can be serious, sometimes resulting in serious injury or death. Weapons collected as evidence pose particular risk because officers might not be as familiar with the operation of evidentiary weapons as they are with weapons they were trained on. While following proper evidence handling protocol goes a long way toward ensuring everyone’s safety at the crime scene and throughout the chain of custody, a major Arizona law enforcement agency wanted to take additional precautions. To help guard against accidental injury, the agency worked with their local Spacesaver representative and Spacesaver’s engineering team to design pass-through lockers with ballistic protection. |

Vol. 169: Locking Library ‘Carts’
Helping a library create a safe and flexible space The Seattle Public Library’s unique architectural design is visually stunning, but one seemingly simple task — changing light bulbs — was extremely difficult to accomplish in the library’s soaring atrium area. The sockets are 50 feet above the floor, so the library’s management team realized that they would need to purchase a custom-built lift to reach them. They would also need to move the book stacks in order to maneuver the lift into position. Given that this task would need to be performed every year or two over the life of the facility, operations staff did not want to unload and re-load all the books every time. Their local Spacesaver representative worked with library staff and Spacesaver’s engineers to design a solution. |

Vol. 165: Wheeled cabinets in a teaching museum
Moving artifacts between classrooms and collections area This Maryland museum had a fleet of counter-height Viking cabinets fitted with casters. The resulting carts keep artifacts organized while in transit between classrooms and the collections area, and removable doors facilitate transfer between the large and small cabinets. “You can open up a cabinet, pull out the appropriate drawers for a lecture, put them in the small cabinet, and then roll it to a classroom,” the curator said. “These rolling collection carts make life a lot easier.” |
Learn more about this project HERE. PRICING INFO We’ve heard your requests for pricing information on projects featured in the Trailblazer. Your SSC net price for a counter-height cabinet and caster base similar to the one shown here is approximately $1320, and trays are approximately $75 each. |
Vol. 164: Tall medical carts
Flexible storage solution protects valuable assets Hospitals, clinics, and other health care facilities need to store a variety of consumable and non-consumable supplies and equipment, and these items come in all shapes and sizes. The Los Angeles health care center pictured here needed to store a large number of catheters for one of its labs. Stacking the ungainly boxes on small carts was ineffective, and it resulted in a supply room that was so disorganized that staff had difficulty keeping track of the kits, some of which cost upwards of $1000 each. The Spacesaver solution offers these advantages:
