Guide To Buying Lockers

Select Carcass Size

First of all select the size of locker you would like. So the width and depth.

Our tallest locker is 1800mm so this would be ideal for offices, secondary schools, workplaces, staff rooms.

This then changes if you are buying lockers for children to use then you would need to consider a low height locker. We have a variety of sizes starting from 900mm up to 1380mm .

Our website gives a selection of W x D sizes in the drop down box.

How many locker compartments?

You need to decide how many compartments you need in total. How many people need a locker? Ie. Pupils or members of staf

Lockers come with different locker doors per unit. This goes from a single door locker to an eight or ten door locker. The overall height of each compartment decreases the more doors there are in a locker unit.

If you would like to hang coats or clothing in a locker, a single door or two door locker would be the right option. If you are wanting to store a bag, coat, maybe some school books, a three or four door locker would be ideal. If it is just small personal items such as keys, phones or wallets you want to lock away, a six or eight door locker would fit the bill or you may want to consider a 20 door personal item locker to save on space.

Select Door Type

Steel - These are our most popular type of locker. Most schools, gyms and offices choose a steel locker due to the vast colour choices, strong construction and they are also cost effective. Suitable for all dry environments.

Laminate - Our laminate lockers are available for wet or dry areas. Laminate doors give more longevity and will not rust or scratch. Ideal for high usage areas.

Plastic - Plastic lockers offer an alterative to wet area laminate lockers with their fully waterproof composition. These lockers can be used outdoors to save on space. Locks are waterproof too.

Timber Effect - Often used in gyms, golf clubs and spas. Timber effect lockers give a more upmarket and stylish feel.

Select Door Colour

Our lockers come with a huge range of door colours to suit any interior. Metal lockers don’t need to be dull with our contemporary colour lockers including ocean blue, jade green and bright orange. Some metal lockers have the option to upgrade to pastel colours.

Laminate lockers are available in an array of attractive door colours or wood tones.

Most schools, gyms and businesses like to match their locker colours to their corporate colours.

Lock Options

Lock options are an important factor to consider. Our most popular lock type is the camlock which comes with 2 keys or the hasp & staple lock to use with a padlock.

If you are looking for primary school lockers then hasp & staple locks may be the best option as no keys are involved.

We have a range of lock ‘upgrades’ including coin return, coin retain, 4 digit combination locks and digital combination locks. These are at an extra cost.

Accessories

Once you have decided on the above there are locker accessories to add to the mix, however, these are not compulsory.

A sloping top is a good idea for high usage areas to stop rubbish or bags being thrown above the locker. You may want to consider this if you are busing lockers for a secondary school.

Locker stands allow for cleaning underneath lockers, mops can glide underneath easily. For wet areas we have galvanised stands so they will not rust or be damaged by cleaning fluids.

If you are purchasing laminate or wooden lockers, it may be worth investing in end panels. End panels finish off a run of lockers and conceal the steel body if the end is exposed.
