I had them in the pantry on a high shelf with a chain lock on the door - but according to her - that wasn't correct enough. Our meds are in a locked trunk in my closet floor. She suggested that I keep them out in the garage cabinet too - but she couldn't make me do that.

Find out from your agency - it varies greatly! and Good Luck!

How silly! I would really question a SW who told me that I had to keep cleaning supplies up on a top. You aren't SUPPOSE to keep cleaning supplies above eye level for safety purposes! There have been a large number or injuries when a bleach cap wasn't on tightly, and it got dumped into the upturned face of the person trying to get it down off of the shelf!

I can understand the need to keep things locked up...but that's just nuts!

Keyed locks are pretty easy to install, all you need is a power drill and a little time
