Bespoke Made-to-Order Lockers for Specialist Storage
Bespoke Made-to-Order Lockers
Total Locker Service offers a wide range of bespoke made-to-order lockers. These lockers are customizable to meet specific needs. They cater to various environments, including police stations and other specialized services. This article explores the locking options, dimensions, and specialized features available.
Custom Locking Options
When it comes to lockers, security is paramount. Total Locker Service provides multiple locking options to enhance security. These include traditional key locks, combination locks, and electronic locks. Each option has its benefits.
Electronic Locks
Electronic locks offer convenience and enhanced security. They can be programmed with unique codes for each user. This eliminates the need for physical keys, reducing the risk of loss. Additionally, electronic locks often include features like time-out modes and audit trails.
Networked Locking Systems
Networked locking systems represent the future of locker security. These systems allow lockers to be managed remotely. Users can access their lockers using mobile apps or key fobs. This technology is perfect for high-traffic environments where flexibility is essential.
RFID Locking
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) locking systems provide another innovative solution. These systems use RFID tags for access. Users simply wave their tag near the reader to unlock their locker. This is both efficient and secure.
Custom Dimensions
Bespoke lockers can be tailored to fit any space. Total Locker Service offers flexibility in height, width, and depth. This customization ensures that lockers can fit seamlessly into various environments.
Height Options
Lockers can be designed in various heights. This is especially important for places with limited space. For example, shorter lockers may be ideal for children's schools, while taller lockers work well in adult environments.
Width and Depth
The width and depth of lockers can also be adjusted. This customization allows lockers to accommodate different types of items. For instance, wider lockers are perfect for sports gear, while deeper lockers can house larger items, such as bags and equipment.
Specialized Lockers
Total Locker Service provides lockers tailored for specific environments. These include lockers designed for police and other emergency services. Such lockers require additional features to meet strict security standards.
Lockers for Police Services
Lockers for police services often include enhanced security features. They may come with reinforced doors and advanced locking mechanisms. Additionally, these lockers can be designed to securely store weapons and sensitive equipment.
Charging Lockers
Charging lockers are becoming increasingly popular. These lockers come with built-in charging ports. They are ideal for devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Users can charge their devices securely while keeping them safe.
Laptop Lockers
Laptop lockers are specifically designed to protect valuable electronics. These lockers often feature padded interiors and secure locking mechanisms. They ensure that laptops remain safe while being stored.
Heated Lockers
Heated lockers are another innovative option. They are particularly beneficial in cold environments. Heated lockers keep items warm and dry, making them perfect for outdoor sports or swimming facilities. Users appreciate this feature, especially in winter.
Total Locker Service's bespoke Lockers Made To Order provide numerous advantages. With a range of locking options, customizable dimensions, and specialized designs, these lockers cater to diverse needs. Whether for police services, charging devices, or heated storage, Total Locker Service has the perfect solution. Their commitment to quality and customization ensures that every locker meets specific requirements. This approach enhances security, convenience, and user satisfaction.

Bespoke Made-to-Order Locker FAQs
What is a bespoke made-to-order locker?
A bespoke locker is manufactured or adapted to meet project-specific
requirements that cannot be satisfied by a standard locker. This may
involve different dimensions, layouts, fittings, materials, locks or
specialist functions.
Can lockers be made to non-standard dimensions?
Non-standard heights, widths and depths may be possible, subject to
manufacturer assessment, construction limits, quantity and the intended
application.
Can I choose the compartment layout?
Yes, alternative compartment quantities and sizes may be considered.
Provide details of the items being stored and the number of users so the
proposed layout can be assessed.
What lock options are available for bespoke lockers?
Options may include key locks, padlock fittings, mechanical combination
locks and compatible electronic systems. Availability depends on the
locker design and manufacturer. See our
locker lock range
for examples.

device and charger specifications when requesting a quotation. Standard
products are available in our

Heating or ventilation may be available for appropriate applications,
subject to manufacturer approval and the items being stored. Existing

and manufacturer capacity. An estimated lead time is supplied after the
