Mobile phones are everywhere—at school, at work, and in public spaces. While they keep us connected, they also need to be stored securely when not in use. That’s where mobile phone lockers come in. These compact lockers offer safe, organised storage for smartphones, and many options even allow devices to charge while stored.
Whether you need phone lockers for schools, workplaces, gyms, or healthcare settings, this guide will help you decide which option is right for you.
A mobile phone locker is a secure storage unit designed specifically for mobile phones and small electronic devices. They provide a safe, organised place to store phones when they are not in use. They are usually made out of durable steel and come with a powder coated paint finish.
Security – Protect expensive smartphones and prevent theft.
Organisation – Keep devices tidy and separate.
Privacy – Encourage focus in schools or workplaces by restricting phone use.
Charging – Ensure phones are fully powered for the next use.
Many schools now use mobile phone lockers to stop distractions in the classroom. Pupils can store their phones securely during lessons, reducing the risk of loss or misuse.
Employers use workplace phone lockers to encourage productivity and keep staff focused. They’re also ideal in security-sensitive areas where phone use is restricted.
Members can lock their smartphones away while they train or swim. For extra convenience, choose a phone charging locker so devices are ready to use afterwards.
In hospitals, phone lockers help patients, staff, and visitors keep devices safe in busy, shared environments. Anti-bacterial powder-coated finishes make them hygienic and suitable for healthcare use.
Managing mobile phone use in schools can be a real challenge. Distractions in the classroom, safeguarding concerns, and the risk of theft are all reasons why more schools are turning to mobile phone lockers.

5, 10, 15 or 20 door units – Great for schools and small offices.
40 door units – Ideal for larger organisations or public spaces.
Single door access – One door covering multiple compartments for controlled management.
Multi-door access – Each compartment has its own lock for individual users.
