College Lockers Supplied to Leeds City College
Introduction
Leeds City College required secure college lockers to provide students with convenient storage for their everyday belongings. The lockers were needed in corridor areas outside classrooms, giving students a safe place to store bags, coats, books, mobile phones and other personal items during the college day.
3D Lockers were selected to supply the project after offering a competitive price for a large order together with a suitable delivery lead time.
The Challenge
The college needed a large number of student lockers that would:
- Provide secure storage for personal belongings.
- Be suitable for busy educational environments.
- Create an organised storage solution in classroom corridors.
- Complement the college environment with bright, attractive colours.
- Offer convenient keyless access for students.
The Solution
3D Lockers supplied:
- 99 four-door Pure metal lockers.
- 396 individual locker compartments.
- Locker dimensions: 1800/1950mm high × 300mm wide × 450mm deep.
- Slate grey frames.
- Approximately half with Yellow doors and half with Orange Magma doors.
- Sloping tops.
- Four-digit mechanical combination locks fitted to every compartment.
The lockers were delivered to Leeds City College ready for installation within the college.
Why These Products Were Chosen
The four-door configuration provided a high number of individual storage compartments while making efficient use of corridor space.
Combination lock lockers eliminate the need for keys, making them a practical option for busy educational environments where multiple students require secure daily access.
The lockers were specified with sloping tops, which offer several benefits in a college environment. The angled tops prevent students from storing bags or other belongings above the lockers. This helps to keep corridors clutter free and reduce potential health and safety hazards. Investing in sloping top lockers also discourages litter from being left on top of the lockers, making the storage area easier to keep clean and presentable.
The bright yellow and orange doors help create a fun and vibrant appearance, while the slate grey frames provide a neutral finish that compliments the colourful doors.
The lockers were manufactured by Pure, whose products are carbon neutral, supporting a more sustainable manufacturing approach.
Installation
The lockers were supplied and delivered to Leeds City College in line with the agreed delivery schedule.
The units were intended for installation within the corridors outside classrooms, providing students with secure and easily accessible storage throughout the college.
Results
The completed project provided Leeds City College with 396 secure storage compartments for student use.
Students now have dedicated storage for bags, coats, books, mobile phones and other personal belongings, helping to keep teaching areas organised while providing convenient access throughout the day.
The combination of bright coloured doors and secure mechanical combination locks delivers a practical storage solution designed for a busy college environment.
