Secure medication container for use by medical personnel

A medication storage container comprising:

• a. a base unit including:
• (1) a container base having an area of less than 2 square feet,
• (2) an opposing container top defining the top of the container,
• (3) a pair of opposing container sidewalls rising from the container base to the container top, the container sidewalls having opposing grooves defined therein,
• wherein the container top is sloped downwardly from approximately the middle top portion of the container sidewalls to the container base to define a container back wall, wherein the container sidewalls, container back wall and container top define a substantially non-planar exterior top surface such that it cannot stably support an object having a flat base thereon;
• wherein a container interior is situated between the container sidewalls the container back wall and between the container base and the container top;
• b. a door formed from a single rigid piece, the door being at least substantially transparent over at least a major portion of its area and including:
• (1) opposing upper and lower edges, and
• (2) opposing side edges each extending between the upper and lower edges, the door being movably affixed to the base unit within the grooves to move between:
• (i) an open position wherein an opening is defined between the door and the base unit to allow access to the container interior, and
• (ii) a closed position wherein the door and the base unit enclose the container interior.

• b. a door including a single rigid piece of material having:
• (1) opposing upper and lower edges, and
• (2) opposing arcuately curved side edges slidably engaged to the container sidewalls, whereby the door may slide along the sidewalls between:
• (i) an open position wherein an opening is defined between the door and the base unit to allow access to the container interior, and
• (ii) a closed position wherein the door and the base unit enclose the container interior;
• c. a first latch between the door and the base unit, the first latch being movable between engaged and disengaged positions by an insertable key;
• and
• d. a second latch between the door and the base unit, the second latch being movable between engaged and disengaged positions by a keyless entry means for engaging and disengaging the second latch without a key;
• wherein:
• (1) the first and second latches, when both in their engaged positions, engage the door to the base unit when the door is in its closed position,
• (2) when at least one of the first and second latches is in its disengaged position, the door is slidable between its open and closed positions.
