Locker Buying Guide


Purchasing lockers for a school, office or industrial setting may seem like a daunting task

With our expertise in locker supplies, we can help you to make an easy, well-informed purchase.

In our Locker Buying Guide you will learn which locker specifications are the most important determinants of what type of lockers you need and which accessory pieces go with them.

The most important specification to consider is the amount of tiers you want.

This is the variable that will lead you to a quick determination of all the characteristics of the locker for your situation.

Once you have browsed all of the options you will have pinpointed the perfect locker product.

Select that product to order it and double check its description and dimensions to verify that it is, indeed, ideal for what you are looking for.


Choosing the Number of Compartments

There are generally many different compartment choices (One - Six Compartment/Door), each varying with the number of locker doors in a vertical configuration.

An important factor, locker space needed verses the number of individual storage spaces needed, should be determined in order to make your decision.

What you will be storing in your lockers is also a determining factor in the amount of compartments you choose.

Single compartment and double compartment lockers are suitable for almost any storage need.

They have the capacity for hanging items such as shirts and jackets.

Lockers with three compartments or more are suited for securing smaller items such as athletic gear, handbags, lunches, books, etc They also are the most space saving units and because of their smaller size you have the advantage of more storage units per locker.


Cutting costs by grouping/nesting

Lockers are sold according to compartments and arrangement, which means buyers choose how many compartments by how many lockers nests they need.

Remember, the greater the number of compartments you choose, the more lockers you have, but the smaller the locker becomes.

Your next decision should be the number of lockers you need. The lockers come in either one wide or three wide configurations.

Keep in mind, as long as you order matching lockers, they can be put next to each other to create a nice line of lockers.

Another locker option is called group configuration. This is a unique style that could be the answer to a design dilemma you may have that cannot be solved using the standard locker types.

Also, another type of locker is the 2-person lockers. These lockers can accommodate two people's belongings while still only taking up the space of a single compartment locker.
