• Re-enforced steel plate structure & steel bolted inner access door
• Double walled & insulated sides/top for fire and thermal protection

The company credits the machine manufacturer AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) with impressive design enhancements that have brought Medbox's vision for the Secure Safe to fruition ahead of schedule.

"San Diego will most likely be the first city that will see our newly designed equipment as they passed an ordinance yesterday allowing dispensaries within their city," stated Matt Feinstein Vice-President at Medbox, Inc. "We have over one hundred of our prior dispensing safes out in the field, and pre-orders for over 200 more of our next generation dispensing safes for Washington, Illinois, Nevada, and San Diego.
