A medication cabinet that includes at least one drawer, a drive mechanism, and a drawer latching mechanism, is disclosed. The drawer includes a slider, and a container that includes a receptacle and a lid that moves between an open position and a closed position. The container also includes a
fastener to fasten the lid to the receptacle. The slider maintains the lid in the closed position when at least a portion of the wall is coupled with the
fastener, and actuates the lid from the closed position to the open position when the
fastener passes through an opening in the wall. The drive mechanism controls longitudinal movement of the slider, and is mounted to the
chassis, allowing the drawer to be free of electrical connections with the
chassis. When the drive mechanism is not used to move the lid into the open position, longitudinal movement of the slider is inhibited.
