Sharps Collector Locking Wall Bracket - Swing Arm Mount for 5.4 Quart Containers, Cream

Professional Locking Wall Bracket for Sharps Container Safety

This premium locking wall bracket is specifically engineered for secure wall mounting of 5.4-quart sharps containers in healthcare facilities, medical offices, laboratories, dental practices, veterinary clinics, and any environment requiring safe biohazard infectious waste disposal. Featuring a durable swing arm design and robust locking mechanism, this cream-colored bracket ensures sharps containers remain safely positioned at optimal height for convenient access while maintaining OSHA compliance and workplace safety standards.

Secure Mounting & Safety Features

• Locking Wall Bracket Design: Features a secure locking mechanism that firmly holds sharps containers in place, preventing accidental dislodging, unauthorized removal, or tampering, ensuring continuous safe disposal access while protecting against spills and exposure to biohazardous materials
• Swing Arm Functionality: Incorporates an innovative swing arm design that allows easy container removal and replacement when full, streamlining sharps disposal workflows and enabling efficient container exchange without removing the entire bracket from the wall
• Four-Point Mounting System: Designed with four corner mounting points that distribute weight evenly across the wall surface, providing superior stability and load-bearing capacity to safely support full sharps containers weighing several pounds without sagging or pulling away from the wall
• Compatible with 5.4 Quart Containers: Specifically engineered for use with 5.4-quart sharps containers (MFR #2269 or 2270), ensuring perfect fit, secure hold, and optimal functionality with these standard-capacity biohazard waste containers commonly used in medical settings
• Professional Cream Color: Finished in a neutral cream color that blends seamlessly with most healthcare facility décor, maintaining a clean, professional appearance in patient care areas, treatment rooms, laboratories, and clinical spaces

Optimal Installation Guidelines

• Recommended Mounting Height: Install at a height of 52 to 56 inches from the top of the cabinet to the floor, positioning the sharps container at an ergonomic level where the fill level indicator and proper unit functioning can be clearly seen by all healthcare staff, ensuring timely container replacement and preventing overfilling
• Clear Visibility Design: Mounting at the recommended height ensures the fill level line, temporary closure mechanism, and final lock indicators are easily visible to staff members of varying heights, promoting safe disposal practices and compliance with sharps management protocols
• Professional Installation Requirements: Consult your facility's maintenance department to determine appropriate screw type, size, and wall anchor specifications based on your specific wall construction (drywall, concrete, tile, etc.) to ensure secure, long-lasting installation that meets building codes
• Secure Fastening Specifications: Once you have the appropriate hardware, secure all four corners using screws ¾ to 1 inch in length with flat washers to distribute pressure and prevent damage to the bracket or wall surface, ensuring maximum stability and safety
• Hardware Not Included: Mounting screws and wall anchors are not included with the bracket, allowing facilities to select appropriate fasteners based on their specific wall type and construction requirements for optimal holding strength and safety

Clinical Applications & Facility Use

Essential for hospitals (patient rooms, emergency departments, operating rooms, laboratories), medical clinics, physician offices, urgent care centers, dental practices, veterinary hospitals, dialysis centers, blood donation centers, tattoo parlors, research laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and home healthcare settings. Perfect for any location requiring safe, convenient disposal of needles, syringes, lancets, scalpels, and other sharp medical instruments that pose puncture and infection risks.

Safety Compliance & Infection Control

Proper wall mounting of sharps containers at the recommended height supports OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, reduces needlestick injury risks by positioning containers at point-of-use locations, prevents overfilling by ensuring fill levels are visible, and promotes safe disposal practices by making containers easily accessible to all staff members. The locking mechanism prevents unauthorized access and accidental spills that could expose personnel to infectious materials.

Installation Best Practices

Before installation, identify wall studs or use appropriate wall anchors rated for the combined weight of the bracket and full sharps container. Mark all four mounting hole positions using a level to ensure straight installation. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wall cracking. Install flat washers under screw heads to distribute pressure. Tighten screws securely but avoid over-tightening which could strip threads or crack the bracket. Test the swing arm mechanism and locking function before loading the sharps container.

Maintenance & Longevity

The durable construction ensures long-term reliable performance in demanding healthcare environments. Periodically inspect mounting screws for tightness and check the locking mechanism for proper function. Clean the bracket surface with approved disinfectants according to your facility's infection control protocols. Replace if cracks, damage, or locking mechanism failure occurs.
