Is this case lockable? Frequently drop my pills and don't want unit opening up and spilling out pills!

You have to lift each tab then slide tray by tray to remove the pills, so I doubt very seriously that if you dropped it you would lose any pills.

It really doesn't have a locking system per say, but the slides do stay in place with no problem. I drop things a lot due to my physical condition and have had no issues at all.

This unit is NOT lockable. I think though that if I dropped it nothing would fall out. The slider thingies are in there pretty tight.

The movable plastic strip cover for each day's pills (four compartments) has notches, so it stays in place, revealing one compartment at at time. It "snaps" securely into place when pushed to cover all four compartments. I find it works very well, and is well designed, stays in place very nicely. The only draw-back is if you fill it up, but wish to access the compartments out of sequence for the specific day. Then you have to be careful, and a little clever.

There seems to be some confusion. There is NOT any dedicated locking system or a secure means to lock this case. I suppose that you could put a lock on the handles or the zipper loops, but both of those areas can be cut with a knife. Regardless, this is a fantastic case.

The device canbe locked so it can be more difficult to open. Comparable to child cap on medicine bottles..... if some one has a strong desie to get in...the lock can be compromised. Our lock broke after 4 months..One dose of medicine rotates into an accessible location at programmed times. The dispenser needs to be on a level surface so that pills do not fall out.Keep high from children. The plastic is dairly durable but not toy grade.

This case is not lockable. It has dual zipper pulls but there is no provision to fasten them together.

It is very easy. I open the compartment and turn it over in my hand and the pills just fall out. There are four separate compartment doors, but when you fill your pills for the week. You can take the compartment doors off as one whole piece for easy filling. Best pill container that I have ever bought, and I have bought several.

Yes, assuming we're talking about regular household batteries: AAA, AA, C, D, etc. I bought it for that purpose and currently store all my batteries in it! It's perfect and locks really well with the locking mechanism. No worries about it spilling open.

The latch is solid, but the areas inside are kind of big for pills and no good way to mark which is what day or what kind of pill. I would not recommend for vitamins.

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.

Yes, they latch and are quite secure. If you unlatch all covers in the row, you can remove the colored strip -- handy for cleaning. As I mentioned previously, the compartments are curved to make it easier to remove the pills. Unfortunately, that also makes it tippy if you press down at the front. The first time I filled it, I pressed down on the front row, and the box went flying; pills went everywhere.

You can indeed put a lock on the case. This case more ideal for home storage and light gigging on the road, so I wouldn't recommend this case for air travel. For any frequent air travel, I'd recommend either a rugged hard-shell case made by SKB or Gator.

This system has a key to prevent getting into the pill dispenser. It worked very well for my mother. I currently have one for sale if you would be interested.

Yes, the problem is not how many pills a compartment can hold, but having 5 compartments in lieu of 4. My wife takes her meds 5 times a day, so putting two dosages into the 4th compartment is not working out. She only has 3 pills per each of the 5 times, so size is not an issue.

No. The lid is opened and the compartments in the tray are filled with pills. The lid is then closed and it locks shut. The tray then rotates at the preset times inside the pill dispenser so the next compartment filled with pills moves into position at the small opening in the lid. The pill dispenser is then picked up (it's not very big and it's light in weight) and the pills are dumped out into the person's hand.

There is a key that allows you to open the entire dispenser to load pills, any other time, all of the pills are not accessible. Only the date and time are unlocked. But as my mother used to say, locks are for honest folk. Of course there are ways around this but you have to be very determined to get at other pills, as in destroying the whole unit/breaking the unit.

What the previous commenter said is correct- the device is locked to prevent double dosing and medication errors, but it is not a tamper-resistant device. We strongly suggest purchasing a CompuMed Automatic Pill Dispenser for patients who are taking narcotics or medicine they may become addicted to easily.

There is no carry case, however, when I went to Our daughters and on to Costa Rica and back for a month, I put the holder back into the box, put all the pill compartments back in their slots, the ones in the back row, I laid down in the front of the box, and closed it up. Another thing you could do, is if you sew, make a special carrying case for it or if you don't sew, have someone else to do so for you. If you have an older train case (cosmetic case) from the 60's, I think they would fit in that perfectly. I wish you luck and I hope this helped.
