Anest Access to Succinylcholine

We utilize Pyxis Anesthesia for medication storage in the OR suite. We have received a request from Anesthesia to allow them to store succinylcholine outside of the Pyxis for the purposes being prepared to treat laryngospasm citing the reason that they cannot take the time to type in the drug name to access when a patient is crashing. Has anyone run into this legitimate concern and what are you doing to address this, keeping medication safe storage in place.
