AquaStore Swimming Pool Leisure Lockers

AquaStore leisure lockers are designed for wet and humid changing-room environments where conventional steel locker construction may be less suitable. The range combines aluminium locker bodies with solid-grade laminate doors and polymer shelving to provide a durable, low-maintenance storage system for swimming pools, leisure centres and other demanding changing areas.

This guide focuses specifically on the AquaStore locker range: how it is constructed, where it is best used, the main configuration options and what should be checked before specification.

What are AquaStore leisure lockers?

AquaStore is a specialist leisure-locker system developed for environments where moisture, cleaning and heavy daily use are major considerations. The construction is different from a conventional powder-coated steel locker because the main body uses aluminium, while the doors use solid-grade laminate.

This makes the range particularly relevant to swimming pools, wet changing rooms, leisure centres and sports facilities where corrosion resistance and easy cleaning are important parts of the specification.

AquaStore construction

The AquaStore format is designed around materials that suit leisure and changing-room environments.

• Aluminium locker body.
• Solid-grade laminate doors.
• Polymer internal shelving on suitable configurations.
• Robust door fixing and hinge arrangement.
• Replaceable door and hardware components where applicable.
• Laminate end panels for finishing exposed locker-bank ends.

The exact construction and component specification should be checked against the current AquaStore product information before ordering, particularly where the project includes specialist locks, end panels or seat-stand arrangements.

Wet and humid changing-room use

AquaStore is best suited to environments where moisture is expected as part of normal use. This includes pool changing rooms, leisure centres, sports facilities and other wet or humid areas.

The material combination helps reduce the corrosion concerns associated with unsuitable locker construction in damp environments. That does not remove the need for good ventilation, cleaning access and appropriate room design, but it gives the locker system a construction better matched to wet-area use.

AquaStore door and shelf design

Solid-grade laminate doors are used because they are durable, moisture-resistant and available in a wide range of decorative finishes. This makes them suitable for leisure environments where appearance and cleaning performance are both important.

Internal polymer shelving can provide a practical alternative to materials that are more vulnerable to moisture. The shelf and compartment arrangement depends on the selected locker format.

AquaStore compartment configurations

AquaStore lockers are available in multiple compartment layouts so the same construction can support different storage requirements.

Configuration	Typical use
Single-door	Full-height personal storage, coats and larger bags
Two-door	General changing-room storage with improved capacity
Three-door	Compact personal storage for higher user numbers
Four to six-door	Smaller-item storage where compartment density is more important than hanging space
Half-height units	Locations where reduced-height storage or specific room layouts are required

Exact widths, depths, heights and compartment sizes should be confirmed from the current product specification rather than relying on legacy dimensions.

Builders’ plinths, stands and island runs

AquaStore lockers can be incorporated into different changing-room layouts, including wall runs and back-to-back island arrangements.

• Builders’ plinth installation.
• Dedicated locker stands.
• Back-to-back island runs.
• Single exposed-end laminate panels.
• Double end panels for island configurations.

End panels are important where the aluminium locker body would otherwise remain visible at the end of a run. They improve appearance and help protect exposed locker-bank ends.

Seat-stand options for AquaStore lockers

Where changing-room space is limited, lockers can be combined with seat stands so storage and seating occupy the same overall footprint.

This can be useful in leisure and sports changing rooms where separate benches would otherwise reduce aisle space. The combined arrangement still needs to be checked carefully against locker-door opening space and circulation.

For detailed bench dimensions, see Changing Room Bench Sizes UK. For small-room planning, use Small Locker Room Design UK.

AquaStore locking options

AquaStore lockers can be supplied with different lock types depending on whether the facility uses public, shared or assigned storage.

Lock type	Typical use
Coin lock	Public and leisure changing rooms where temporary use is required
Hasp and padlock fitting	Facilities where users supply their own padlocks
Electronic PIN lock	Keyless operation for managed or shared changing rooms
RFID lock	Facilities using cards, wristbands or managed electronic credentials

This page does not attempt to own the detailed access-control decision. For coin, RFID, electronic PIN and public-use locker operation, use Leisure Locker Access Systems UK.

Colour and laminate finish options

Solid-grade laminate doors allow AquaStore lockers to be specified in a wide range of finishes. Different door colours can be used to create zones, identify areas or support a wider changing-room design scheme.

Current laminate ranges and colour availability should be checked at quotation stage because manufacturer collections and finishes can change over time.

Where AquaStore lockers are used

Environment	Why AquaStore can suit it
Swimming pools	Wet-area materials and public-use lock options
Leisure centres	Durable construction, multiple compartment formats and broad access options
Sports clubs	Robust changing-room storage with flexible door configurations
Gyms	High user turnover and multiple lock choices
Health clubs	Laminate finishes, wet-area suitability and premium appearance

How to specify AquaStore lockers

• Confirm the number of users and required compartments.
• Decide whether full-height or smaller compartments are needed.
• Measure the available room width and depth.
• Decide between wall runs, stands, builders’ plinths or island arrangements.
• Choose the door laminate finish.
• Select the operating lock type.
• Check whether end panels are required.
• Decide whether seat stands are needed.
• Confirm the final room layout and clearances before ordering.

AquaStore vs standard steel lockers

AquaStore should not be treated as a direct replacement for every conventional steel locker. The two constructions suit different environments and budgets.

Factor	AquaStore	Standard steel locker
Wet-area suitability	Designed for wet and humid changing-room use	Depends on coating, environment and manufacturer specification
Door material	Solid-grade laminate	Usually powder-coated steel
Body material	Aluminium	Steel
Appearance	Broad laminate finish options	Powder-coated colour range
Typical use	Pools, leisure and premium changing rooms	Schools, workplaces, general changing rooms and dry environments
