Vandal Resistant Z-Fold Paper Towel Dispenser - CDCR Approved Design

The AA-PTD-ZF-CDCR is a compact, high-security paper towel dispenser engineered for use in correctional and high-risk facilities. Approved by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), this model features a slim profile that fits tight spaces while still delivering robust performance and paper protection. It accommodates standard Z-fold, C-fold, or multifold towels and is constructed entirely from 12-gauge stainless steel for unmatched durability and tamper resistance.

Product Features:

• CDCR Approved: Designed to meet the standards required for installation in California correctional facilities and other high-security locations.
• Vandal Resistant Construction: Fully welded 12-gauge stainless steel body with reinforced corners and de-burred edges to deter tampering.
• Made in USA: Manufactured domestically from high-grade stainless steel using precision TIG welding.
• 10 Year Vandalism Warranty (12 Gauge Models): Coverage includes damage caused by vandalism when installed and locked properly.
• Spray & Drip Deflective: Housing design prevents water intrusion, keeping towels clean and dry in wet areas.
• Padlock Compatible: Secures with standard padlock via integrated 3/8” tab (padlock not included).
• Surface Mounted: Mounts securely with four bolts (not included) through pre-drilled 1/4” holes.
• Corrosion Resistant: Available in 304L or marine-grade 316L stainless steel for superior environmental protection.
• LEED Sustainable Materials: 100% recyclable stainless steel supports sustainable building certifications.

• AA-PTD-ZF-CDCR-304L-12g
• AA-PTD-ZF-CDCR-316L-12g

Mounting Guidance:

Mount securely with four 3/8” stainless steel bolts (not included). ¾” back bracing or through-bolting is strongly advised for optimal installation. Use T-nuts or alternate anchors as needed for partition walls.

Paper Towel Compatibility:

Accepts one full stack of folded towels. Compatible with:

• Scott Multifold Paper Towels
• Georgia Pacific Select Multifold Paper Towels
• Tork Multifold Paper Towels
• Amazon Commercial Universal Multifold Paper Towels

Warranty:

All 12-gauge models come with a 10-Year Vandalism Warranty. If the unit is rendered non-functional due to vandalism while properly installed and locked, Vandal Stop will repair or replace the unit — a level of assurance unmatched in the industry.

Competitor Comparison:

Dispenser models like the Bobrick B-265 or Bradley 5412 lack the rugged gauge thickness and CDCR credentials of the AA-PTD-ZF-CDCR. Where others rely on 18-gauge or thinner steel, this model uses 12-gauge construction backed by a 10-year warranty — offering a significantly more secure and lasting solution.

Stocked Items

For certain items that we sell often, we do our best to either keep inventory on the shelf or keep a constant production cue going. For items that are considered "stocked" we will generally be able to ship within 5 business days or less.

Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?

We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.

Credit Card orders will be charged at the time of checkout. If you wish to be billed when your order ships, you can use the "Pay by Purchase Order" option on the payment section of checkout. You will be asked to upload a PDF copy of your Purchase Order along with a reseller certificate of tax exempt status is applicable. We will invoice you once your order has been shipped.
