Hartford, Wis., June 25, 2008 – According to The Partnership for a Drug-Free America™, prescription drug abuse by teens and young adults in the United States is a serious problem. In fact, one in five teens has abused a prescription pain medication; one in five report abusing prescription stimulants and tranquilizers; and one in 10 has abused cough medication.1
To provide parents and homeowners with a way to secure valuables as well as prescription and over-the-counter drugs, NuTone® has introduced a new locking medicine cabinet. The Hampton Series Locking Medicine Cabinets offer an inconspicuous and durable keyed mechanism limiting access to the contents inside.
“Because the abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs continues to rise, we decided to provide parents and homeowners with a more effective method to safeguard these items,” says Julie Allongue, marketing manager, medicine cabinets, Broan-NuTone, Hartford, Wis. The new locking medicine cabinets also provide a convenient place to store small valuables or other items of concern.
Part of the complete Hampton Series of metallic finish medicine cabinets, the new locking cabinets feature a contemporary frame that is available in oil-rubbed bronze or satin nickel finishes. This makes it easy to coordinate décor with popular bath and hardware fixtures.
The cabinets also feature a durable piano hinge; adjustable glass shelves; an innovative soft-close magnet; and a rust-resistant white steel body. These recessed cabinets are reversible for right- or left-hand opening and accommodate a wall opening of 14 inches wide by 24 inches high by 3 inches deep. The manufacturer’s suggested list price (MSLP) is $218.
“In addition to providing security for their homes and families, homeowners will appreciate the various options they have in coordinating this cabinet with the rest of their bathroom and home,” says Allongue.
