For Specifiers
DS Series Specification Tips
MS-2 — standard pharmacy specification
MS-2 (1200mm tall, 397L) is the most common pharmacy specification — large enough for standard Schedule 8 stocks while fitting most dispensary footprints. MS-3 doubles capacity for higher-volume operations.
Confirm state-specific compliance
Pharmacy and poisons regulations vary by state. Check with your local regulator and your dealer to confirm the specific MS Series model and lock configuration that satisfies your jurisdiction.
Dual lock for dual control
Many regulatory frameworks require dual-control access to controlled-drug storage. The dual-lock upgrade adds a secondary Ross 700 key lock that must be opened in addition to the primary lock.
Lifetime Initiative
Power for Life Free batteries for the lifetime of your safe.
Every DS Series safe with an electronic or biometric lock is covered by our Power for Life initiative. Once a year, you can redeem a free replacement battery at any authorised Dominator dealer — no receipts, no conditions, for as long as you own the safe.
It's our way of making sure your safe stays accessible for decades, not just years.
Power for Life applies across the full range: HS Series, DS Series, GC Series (gun cabinets), FA Series and FX Series.

Setup
Installation
What to expect
MS Series safes require professional installation by your dealer or a qualified safe installer. MS-0 can be positioned by two people; MS-1 onwards requires a trolley or pallet jack.
Floor or wall mounting is essential. MS Series safes include 9 internal recessed bolt holes per model — confirm install configuration with your dealer at order.
Installation checklist
-
01
Identify fixing bolt provisions — every MS Series model has 9 × internal recessed bolt holes for floor or wall mounting. Confirm hole positions with your dealer before drilling.
-
02
Identify install position with access clearance (allow for door swing and handing)
-
03
Confirm delivery access route (doorways, corridors, stairs)
-
04
Schedule installation through your dealer — most offer delivery + install as a package
-
05
Keep installation certificate for insurance records
Base Anchoring Provisions

Secondary Defence
Glass Relocker Protection
MS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
How it works
A thin glass plate is embedded behind the primary lock body. If a drilling, punch, or torch attack breaks the glass, spring-loaded secondary bolts deploy and jam the locking mechanism. Once activated, the safe cannot be opened even if the primary lock is subsequently bypassed — it requires professional recovery by a qualified safe technician.
The relocker is a permanent protection feature, not a consumable. It exists to make the safe effectively unusable to an attacker even if they partially succeed against the primary lock.
If your relocker activates
If you cannot open your safe and suspect the relocker has engaged (usually after attempted forced entry), contact your Dominator dealer immediately. Do not attempt forced opening — this can cause permanent damage to the safe body.
A qualified safe technician can recover the relocker and restore normal operation. The safe itself remains structurally sound and can usually return to service after a relocker recovery.
Maintenance and Servicing
MS Series safes require minimal maintenance but benefit from periodic cleaning of the gloss white finish with a non-abrasive cloth. Lubricate locks and hinges as part of annual pharmacy fitout maintenance and replace electronic lock batteries annually under Power for Life.
Every 12 months
Battery replacement (electronic/biometric locks)
Redeem your free battery through Power for Life. Replace before low-battery warnings, not after.
Every 12 months
Lock lubrication (mechanical dials)
Apply a drop of lock-grade lubricant to the dial spindle annually. Avoid WD-40 or general-purpose oils — they can gum up precision movements.
Every 12 to 24 months, depending if commercial or domestic use
Professional service
Book a qualified safe technician to inspect hinges, bolt work, and relocker mechanism. Typical service takes 30–60 minutes.
Every 5 years
Seal inspection
Check fire seals (where fitted) for compression and integrity. Replace if damaged.

Troubleshooting
MS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
Electronic lock won't open — no response from keypad.
Battery is most likely depleted. Replace the 9V battery and try your code again. Use a brand-new Duracell 9V Alkaline battery only. If the keypad still doesn’t respond, contact your dealer for diagnosis.
Electronic lock responds but rejects correct code.
Mechanical dial won't open — combination correct but bolts don't retract.
Lock is working, but handle does not unlock.
Safe door is difficult to open or close.
Safe is damaged or inoperable after attempted forced entry.
