A medication dispensing cabinet, comprising: a security panel; a plunger; a first emergency lever; a first latch assembly; and one or more doors (104a,104b) rotatable at least partially about a hinge; wherein the plunger, the first emergency lever and the first latch assembly (134(a)) are disposed on one side of the dispensing cabinet, wherein the hinge is disposed on an opposite side of the dispensing cabinet; wherein the plunger has a disengaged position and an engaged position, the plunger being secured in the disengaged position by the security panel, and wherein, after the security panel has been released, the plunger is transitionable from the disengaged position to the engaged position in which the plunger engages with the first emergency release lever, and wherein the first emergency release lever is configured to interface with the plunger and the first latch assembly, the first lever being configured to shift upwards in response to the plunger being transitioned from the disengaged position to the engaged position, characterized in that, the first latch assembly includes a cam bracket and the dispensing cabinet further comprises a spring coupling the first lever and the cam bracket, the cam bracket being disposed at least partially inside a slot in the first lever, wherein the cam bracket is configured to be rotated by a tension of the spring against the cam bracket while the first lever is shifted upwards by the plunger transitioning to the engaged position so as to release the first latch assembly by at least rotating the cam bracket to a limit unlocking the one or more doors (104a, 104b) of the dispensing cabinet, wherein the dispensing cabinet comprises a bracket secured to a side panel of the dispensing cabinet, the bracket including a first finger configured to support the plunger in the disengaged position and a second finger configured to support the plunger in the engaged position, wherein the plunger is configured to transition from the disengaged position, in which the plunger rests on the first finger, to the engaged position, by, in a first step, rotating the plunger in a sideways direction to achieve a clearance such that the plunger is shift-able upwards to the engaged position, and by, in a second step, shifting the plunger upwards to the engaged position, and wherein, once the plunger is shifted upwards to the engaged position, the plunger is rotatable in a direction opposite to the sideways direction, such that the plunger rests on the second finger while remaining in the engaged position. a security panel;
