Dominator MS Series: The New Benchmark in Pharmacy & Drug Safes
The Dominator MS Series is Australia’s most advanced and compliant range of pharmacy safes, designed to replace and outperform the older DR and PH Series now being phased out.
Why the MS Series?
The Dominator MS Series has been engineered to exceed compliance requirements across all Australian States and Territories. Built from 10 mm solid steel on all sides, reinforced with a heavy-duty frame and advanced locking options, the MS Series combines strength, flexibility and usability in one range.
- 10 mm solid steel body and door construction on every model
- 3-way bolt locking system with fixed hinge-side bar
- Multiple lock options – digital, combination or key
- Universal lock footprint for upgrades or replacements
- Adjustable shelves with Flowsell® pull-out shelving available on MS-1 to MS-4
- Australia-wide compliance with drug storage regulations
- Five size options (MS-0 to MS-4) from 145 L to 805 L
- 5-year structural warranty for long-term confidence
How MS Differs from the DR Series
The older Dominator DR Series served pharmacies for many years but was limited by lighter steel thickness and less flexibility. Key improvements in the MS Series include:
- Steel thickness: MS uses 10 mm all around vs thinner body plates in DR.
- Locking: MS includes universal lock footprint, whereas DR models had limited lock configurations.
- Compliance: MS designed from the ground up for full Australia-wide compliance; DR required additional upgrades in some states.
- Capacity options: MS Series introduces larger models (up to 805 L) not available in the DR line.
How MS Differs from the PH Series
The Dominator PH Series was traditionally used for pharmacy storage but has also begun being phased out. Differences include:
- Construction: PH models were typically lighter builds; MS delivers full 10 mm steel plate.
- Locking options: PH often restricted to key locking; MS provides digital, mechanical combination or key, with dual lock options.
- Storage system: PH safes lacked the adjustable Flowsell® shelving system, which MS now integrates (MS-1 and above).
- Future support: MS Series is the supported line moving forward, ensuring parts, accessories and compliance certifications remain current.
The Future: MS as the Standard
With the DR and PH Series being phased out, the MS Series is the clear successor. Whether you need a compact under-bench safe for a small practice (MS-0D) or a high-capacity storage solution for a busy hospital pharmacy (MS-4D), the MS range has you covered.
Every model is designed in Australia, tested against state regulations, and backed by a 5-year warranty — giving pharmacies and healthcare providers complete peace of mind.
