Our company invested in 3 heavy duty locks for our dispensary vault doors. All three of which failed after 1 year of routine use.

I found some special door pulls online that I could not order directly. It was hard to find someone who could order them for me. I was referred to Robert I. Merrill Co.--they were able to order them for me quickly and at a good price. They even shipped them to me so I didn't have to drive to Salt Lake City.
