If this is dropped from a table will the doors stay shut? I have dropped my pill box several times and I'm tired of losing weeks of meds.

We have had ours for a very long time and have dropped it many times and it stays closed!!

Hi Mark! Your question got me curious, so I tested this out. I dropped my EZY dose from about waist high onto a carpeted floor; all the little doors stayed shut. I dropped it from about waist high onto a hard floor surface and all the doors stayed shut! I really like this pill dispenser! I hope my answers help!

I tried it and it stayed shut. you have to push the button for it to open. if it falls on the button, rom a good height it might open. I think its pretty safe though

I've not had this issue. Generally I pick up these boxes holding them by their sides, so it seems unlikely the day info will soon disappear. My issue has been difficulty opening the compartments, yet they've not yet come open accidentally, as has occurred with another pill case I use.

There is really no locking compartment. What happens is that at the alarm time the round tray rotates such that the next compartment is underneath a dispensing hole. You can pick the entire unit up and dump the pills into your hand, which also shuts off the alarm. The only issue is that if you do not get the pills out before the NEXT alarm time, they will be inaccessible. That's usually not a problem, but you can set the schedule for up to 4 pill-taking times per day, so don't sleep too long if that is the schedule!

I have mine on sound alert and it does shut off. I use it for only one of my pills and still use the older one which I much better because it has inserts where you can fill the entire week with up to 4 different times. I din't understand why they discontinued it. Every one who saw mine wa ted to purcase one. Still, you will bepleazed with the one shown

The hardware is designed to not slam shut. It will stay at the position you leave it.

The compartment rotates to the open spot on the wheel and stays available until the next alarm (how long depends on if you are dosing once, twice, or three or more times a day). Not getting up at the same time isn't the problem. If they don't hear the alarm they have to REMEMBER to look at the pill dispenser. My mom had Alzheimers so if she slept through the alarm she had no idea pills were waiting for her.

I keep it in the medicine cabinet and have not had a problem with it 'going bad'. I've kept it for several months, using it as needed, and thru several bottles over the years.

I would say NO. those pills are too big and the compartment too small to accommodate 9-10 pills. try the 7 Day 2 Compartment.

I dont have medical advice for how long to store meds, but if you are trying to keep moisture out of your prescription bottle this should be the ticket. the packets are sealed so they wouldn't touch your pills. use the small cc size ones. you shouldn't need more than one for a regular size rx. if you have a big bottle put 2 or three in the bottom out of your way. don't waste money on multiple sizes these have many of them in the bag.

If you are talking about the pill tray that you fill and drop in the actual dispensing machine, it is NOT a tight, secure fit. If it was dropped, the lid would come off. The lid DOES NOT snap on and seal like a tupperware lid. If you put rubber bands or tape around it and then packed in a box it would be fine. When transporting from my house to my Mothers house. I put the lid on, put the pill tray into a gallon size zip lock bag just in case it falls off the seat or I drop it so I don't loose any pills. I hope this helps.

I am happy with the product, however I always wondered the same thing. Why the capsules are in this type of packaging. It has always been very difficult for me to get them out. I sometimes drop them on the floor. I thought of sitting there and opening all at once and putting them in a spare pill bottle to have easy access when I need them. Guess we will just have to deal with it for now.

There is a transparent cover. The box us completely enclosed. Nothing will fall out!

Yes, this book will definitely open if dropped on the floor, but that doesn't guarantee that the contents will spill out since the hidden pocket has a cover that you have to actually pull out. To me this item is best suited for hiding either paper items or items that are not that heavy. The compartment isn't deep, it is a shallow, thin compartment.

Hi Janeen, The front should close and stay close without any trouble. Make sure no items inside are hitting anything that might prevent the front from closing.

They cont come apart if that is what you are asking , But each individual pill container are seperate as you fill each one for that part of the day . and it clips shut ! For me its much better then dealing with all the bottles every morning and night .

Sorry, I cannot help you with your question since it was a gift to my adult daughter and did not use it. In my opinion this box is not suitable for medication security. Rather consider a fire proof lock box especially if you're using narcotics

It has a "cheesy" lock that can be opened with just about anything. My mother-in-law had ALZ, and found a way to break into the pill box. I ended up fabricating a metal enclosure for the pill box, and used bolts to tighten down where she couldn't get to the pills. Another issue that was resolved by building the enclosure was keeping her from removing the batteries. Not knowing your personal situation...the provider has to be creative in finding solutions to issues.
