Defibrillator Cabinets & Accessories

AED cabinets provide a recognisable central location where the defibrillator is to be kept whilst not in use, they allow defibrillators to remain fully visible and accessible for a responder to obtain quickly in the event of an emergency.

Defibrillators tend to be installed inside a building; however for many applications such as work sites and public access community areas, we offer a Public Access Defibrillator Cabinet designed for outdoor installation of your defibrillator.

Where Should Defibrillators Be Located?

Ensuring a defibrillator (AED) is placed in the right location can save lives. It should be easy to find, clearly signed, and accessible in an emergency.

1. Publicly Accessible Locations

  • AEDs should be installed in high-traffic areas where cardiac arrests are more likely to occur
  • Common locations include offices, schools, gyms, shopping centres, train stations, sports venues, and community spaces
  • For outdoor locations, use a weatherproof, heated AED cabinet to keep the device protected and functional

Publicly accessible defibrillators make a real difference in survival rates. By placing AEDs in open, well-signposted locations, organisations maximise their impact and help save lives within the immediate community.

2. Clear and Visible Signage

  • The AED cabinet must be clearly labelled with "Defibrillator" or "AED" and the universal heart symbol.
  • Additional signage should be placed above the cabinet (e.g., mounted on a wall or post) to ensure visibility, even if obstacles like parked vehicles block the view.
  • Raise awareness by adding AED location signs in nearby businesses or public areas to help people locate it in an emergency.

3. Informing the Ambulance Service

  • Register your AED with The Circuit (thecircuit.uk) – the UK’s national defibrillator network.
  • This ensures 999 and 112 operators can direct bystanders to the nearest available AED when responding to an emergency.
  • Provide details such as the AED location, cabinet access code (if locked), and AED model to ensure responders can access and use it effectively.

Proper placement, clear signage, and emergency service registration make an AED more effective in a life-threatening situation. Ensure your device is easy to find, easy to access, and known to local emergency services.

How Should Defibrillators Be Stored?

Proper storage ensures a defibrillator (AED) remains fully functional and accessible in an emergency. The right cabinet depends on location, security, and environmental conditions.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Storage:

Indoor cabinets

Suitable for controlled environments but must not be used outdoors.

Outdoor AEDs

Need weatherproof, temperature-controlled cabinets to prevent battery damage.

Outdoor AED Cabinet Considerations:

Temperature Control

  • AEDs function between 0–50°C and must stay above freezing.
  • Heated cabinets prevent freezing, while ventilated cabinets reduce overheating.

Security & Access

  • Open access is recommended by the UK Resuscitation Council to prevent delays.
  • Keypad entry is an option if security is a concern—avoid key-locked cabinets.

Visibility & Awareness

  • Clear signage and good lighting ensure the AED is visible, even at night.

Power Supply

  • Plug-in cabinets are easy to install but risk being switched off.
  • Hardwired options are more reliable but require professional installation.
  • Solar-powered cabinets work well in remote locations with sufficient sunlight.

Weather Resistance & Construction

  • IP-rated cabinets protect against dust and water—higher ratings offer better protection.
  • Stainless steel is the most durable, while plastic cabinets are lightweight and corrosion-resistant.

Choosing the Right Storage Solution

Select an easily accessible, well-protected AED cabinet suited to your environment. Proper placement ensures the AED is always ready when needed.
