Replacement Locker Locks by Brand UK: Lowe & Fletcher, Ojmar, ASSA, Digilock and KitLock

Replacing a locker lock is easier when you can identify the manufacturer of the existing lock. Brands such as Lowe & Fletcher, Ojmar, ASSA ABLOY, Digilock and Codelocks KitLock manufacture different keyed, coin-operated, combination, keypad and RFID locking systems, and the correct replacement is not determined by appearance alone.

Two locker locks can look similar from the front but use different bodies, fixings, cams, door cut-outs, barrel lengths or operating arrangements.

If you already know that the existing lock needs replacing, browse our complete range of replacement locker locks.

If the manufacturer or model is unclear, identify the existing lock before ordering. Photographs of the front and rear of the lock, the cam or latch, the locker door and any visible manufacturer markings can help establish the correct replacement route.

Quick Answer: How Do I Find a Replacement Locker Lock by Brand?

Start by looking for a manufacturer name, logo, model number or key reference on the existing lock.

  • the lock manufacturer;
  • model or reference where visible;
  • lock type;
  • front dimensions;
  • rear lock body;
  • fixing method;
  • cam or latch arrangement;
  • door thickness;
  • existing door cut-out;
  • key or cylinder number where applicable;
  • and whether the locker is used in a dry, damp or wet environment.

Once the manufacturer has been established, compare the existing lock with the appropriate replacement range rather than assuming that every product from the same brand will fit.

For available keyed, coin-operated, combination, keypad and RFID options, see our replacement locker locks.

Why the Locker Lock Brand Matters

The manufacturer’s name is one of the most useful pieces of information when replacing an existing locker lock.

It can narrow the search considerably, but it does not prove compatibility on its own.

A manufacturer may produce several lock families for different locker doors, applications and operating systems. Older products may also have been superseded, modified or discontinued.

For that reason, a replacement should normally be selected using both manufacturer identification and physical and operational compatibility.

The brand tells you where to start. The existing locker and lock arrangement determine what will actually fit.

Lowe & Fletcher Replacement Locker Locks

Lowe & Fletcher is widely encountered on lockers, cabinets and other secure storage products.

Existing installations can include straightforward keyed locks, hasp fittings, coin-operated systems and combination locking products.

Replacing a Lowe & Fletcher Keyed Locker Lock

For an ordinary keyed locker lock, check whether the problem actually requires a complete replacement.

If the lock still operates correctly and only the user key has been lost, a replacement locker key may be the simpler solution.

A full lock replacement becomes more appropriate where the barrel or mechanism is damaged, seized, excessively worn, forced, insecure or otherwise unserviceable.

Before replacing the lock, compare the existing lock body, fixing arrangement, barrel dimensions, cam and rotation.

Lowe & Fletcher Coin Locks

Coin-operated locker locks introduce additional variables.

Check whether the existing lock is coin return or coin retain, the denomination for which it is configured, its handing, barrel or body arrangement and the way the latch engages with the locker.

Lowe & Fletcher Combination Locks

If you are replacing an existing combination lock, establish whether the requirement is genuinely like-for-like or whether the wider site is being upgraded.

A single failed combination lock in an otherwise consistent locker bank will normally favour compatibility with the surrounding installation.

A larger refurbishment gives you more freedom to reconsider how codes, overrides, shared use and assigned use are managed.

Browse our complete locker lock range when the requirement extends beyond a single replacement.

Ojmar Replacement Locker Locks

Ojmar manufactures a broad range of locker locking systems, including mechanical, coin-operated, cylinder, combination and electronic products.

Total Locker Service supplies a range of Ojmar locker locks, including products intended for different locker applications and environments.

Because the range is broad, identifying a lock simply as “Ojmar” is not enough to select a replacement.

Replacing an Ojmar Cam or Cylinder Lock

Start with the markings on the existing lock and then inspect the rear mechanism.

Check the cylinder or lock body, fixing arrangement, cam, door thickness and way in which the cam engages with the locker frame.

If a key is missing but the cylinder is still serviceable, first investigate whether the key can be replaced rather than changing the complete lock.

Total Locker Service supplies replacement keys for several Ojmar key ranges through its locker key service.

Replacing an Ojmar Coin Lock

Ojmar coin-operated locks are commonly associated with changing-room and leisure applications.

Replacement requires more information than simply identifying the brand. Record the existing lock’s coin operation, denomination, handing, body, latch arrangement and door preparation.

Moving From Mechanical Ojmar Locks to Electronic Access

Do not treat an electronic upgrade as though it were an ordinary like-for-like replacement.

Changing from a mechanical lock to an RFID, keypad or other electronic system may introduce requirements relating to door preparation, fixing positions, user mode, management credentials, batteries, override arrangements and the operating policy for the locker estate.

See all replacement locker locks when comparing the mechanical and electronic routes available for an existing locker installation.

ASSA ABLOY Replacement Locker Locks

ASSA locker locks can be found in established commercial and leisure locker installations, including keyed, coin-operated and electronic applications.

Older installations are one of the situations where accurate identification matters most.

Replacing an ASSA Keyed Locker Lock

If the existing lock uses a conventional key, record any information from both the lock and key.

Where the lock remains mechanically sound, replacement keys may be available for identifiable ASSA locker key ranges through the replacement locker key service.

ASSA Coin-Operated Locker Locks

For an ASSA coin lock, check the complete operating arrangement rather than only the visible face.

Coin locks may differ according to operating mode, body dimensions, barrel arrangement, handing and latch geometry.

ASSA Electronic and RFID Locks

Electronic ASSA locker locking products should be treated as access systems rather than just pieces of hardware.

Total Locker Service also supplies RFID locker locks, including products for managed contactless locker access.

Digilock Replacement Locker Locks

Digilock specialises in electronic and keyless locking systems used across lockers and storage applications.

Unlike replacing a simple mechanical cam lock, selecting a Digilock replacement can involve both physical and operational compatibility.

The first question should therefore be: Are you replacing one lock within an existing Digilock system, or changing the locking system across the locker installation?

Replacing One Existing Digilock

When replacing an individual lock within a larger installation, identify the product family, access method, mounting arrangement, operating mode and management method.

A replacement that fits the door physically but operates differently from the surrounding lockers may not provide an acceptable result.

Retrofitting Digilock to Existing Lockers

If Digilock is being considered as an upgrade rather than a like-for-like replacement, inspect the locker doors before selecting the lock.

  • existing openings;
  • available mounting area;
  • door thickness;
  • door movement;
  • latch engagement;
  • and whether alterations would be required.

The locker locks hub provides the wider replacement and upgrade range if you are comparing Digilock with alternative mechanical or electronic systems.

Codelocks KitLock Replacement Locker Locks

Codelocks KitLock products are used for lockers, cabinets, cupboards and shared storage, with keypad, RFID and other electronic access options available.

Total Locker Service lists KitLock products through its dedicated Codelocks KitLock range.

When replacing an existing KitLock, identifying the model is particularly useful.

KitLock KL1000 Replacement and Retrofit

The KL1000 is used as an electronic keypad locking option and can be fitted to suitable lockers and cabinets.

If replacing an existing KL1000, compare the complete existing installation rather than assuming that another electronic lock will use the same preparation.

KitLock RFID Models

RFID locks introduce another layer of compatibility: the credential.

Before replacing or expanding an RFID installation, establish which technology and credentials are currently being used and whether the proposed lock is compatible with the intended access arrangement.

Replacing KitLock With Another Lock Type

A failed electronic lock does not necessarily have to be replaced with the same access method if the wider site requirements have changed.

Use the complete replacement locker locks range to compare the available routes.

What If There Is No Manufacturer Name on the Locker Lock?

Many replacement enquiries begin with an unknown lock.

The locker itself may have no surviving manufacturer label, and the visible lock face may contain only a key number or small marking.

Do not guess from appearance.

  • the complete locker door;
  • the front of the lock;
  • the rear lock body;
  • the cam or latch;
  • all visible numbers;
  • and any surviving keys.

Total Locker Service provides a locker lock and part identification service specifically for this situation.

Locker Manufacturer and Lock Manufacturer Are Not Necessarily the Same

This distinction is important.

The name on the locker does not necessarily identify the manufacturer of the lock installed in it.

A locker manufacturer may use locking components produced by a specialist lock manufacturer. A locker may also have been refurbished during its life and fitted with a different locking system.

Do not order a replacement lock solely from the locker brand.

Should You Replace the Lock or Just Replace the Key?

A missing key does not automatically require a replacement lock.

If the lock is serviceable and the correct key series and code can be identified, replacing the key may be quicker and less disruptive.

For key replacement, visit replacement locker keys.

For complete locks, visit replacement locker locks.

Like-for-Like Replacement or Locker Lock Upgrade?

Once an existing lock has been identified, decide whether the objective is repairing the existing specification or changing how the lockers are controlled.

Like-for-like replacement is often appropriate when only a small number of locks have failed and the existing system still meets the site’s needs.

An upgrade becomes more relevant where large numbers of locks are due for replacement, the original product is obsolete, key management has become difficult, users require another access method or the locker estate is undergoing wider refurbishment.

Before Ordering a Large Quantity of Replacement Locker Locks

Large replacement programmes should be verified before the complete order is placed.

Even within one locker estate there may be different generations of lockers or locks.

  • identify representative lockers from each area;
  • compare lock markings and rear mechanisms;
  • check the door preparation;
  • and test the proposed replacement on an actual locker where appropriate.

Common Information Needed to Identify a Replacement Locker Lock

The most useful replacement enquiry is one that contains evidence rather than a general description.

  • Manufacturer: Lowe & Fletcher, Ojmar, ASSA, Digilock, Codelocks/KitLock or unknown
  • Model: if visible
  • Existing operation: key, padlock, coin, combination, keypad or RFID
  • Locker material: steel, laminate, plastic or other
  • Door thickness: where relevant
  • Lock front: clear photograph
  • Lock rear: clear photograph
  • Cam/latch: clear photograph
  • Markings: exact numbers and letters
  • Quantity: number of replacement locks required
  • Environment: dry, damp, wet or specialist location

Replacement Locker Locks for Schools

Schools often operate sizeable locker estates where consistency matters.

Before replacing locks across several blocks or year areas, establish whether all lockers use the same system.

If the current system works well and only a small number of locks have failed, matching the established specification can minimise disruption.

Replacement Locker Locks for Workplaces

Workplace lockers may be individually assigned, shared between shifts or used for temporary storage.

The correct replacement therefore needs to preserve both the physical locker installation and the site’s operating model.

Replacement Locker Locks for Gyms and Leisure Centres

Leisure environments commonly introduce additional considerations such as high user turnover, coin operation, wet or humid changing rooms and frequent staff override requirements.

An existing Ojmar, ASSA or Lowe & Fletcher coin lock should therefore be identified as a complete operating mechanism rather than merely by brand.

Can One Brand Replace Another?

Sometimes a lock from another manufacturer can provide a practical replacement or conversion route, but manufacturer names alone cannot establish compatibility.

  • door preparation;
  • body dimensions;
  • mounting arrangement;
  • cam or latch;
  • door thickness;
  • rotation;
  • clearances;
  • and operating requirements.

A cross-brand replacement may require modification even where the finished installation looks similar.

What If the Original Locker Lock Has Been Discontinued?

An obsolete lock does not necessarily mean that the complete locker must be replaced.

Depending on the locker and original locking arrangement, possible routes may include a current compatible replacement, a replacement from another range, reuse of suitable existing components, a retrofit lock or conversion to another access method.

Replacement Locker Lock Checklist

  1. Identify the lock manufacturer where possible.
  2. Find the model or product reference.
  3. Record any key or cylinder number.
  4. Identify whether the lock is keyed, hasp, coin, combination, keypad or RFID.
  5. Photograph the front of the lock.
  6. Photograph the rear mechanism.
  7. Record the cam or latch.
  8. Check the fixing method.
  9. Check the locker door material and thickness.
  10. Check the existing cut-out.
  11. Identify whether the locker is in a dry or wet environment.
  12. Decide whether the requirement is like-for-like replacement or an upgrade.
  13. Test compatibility before committing to a large site-wide quantity.

Replacement Locker Locks by Brand FAQs

How do I know what brand my locker lock is?

Look for a manufacturer name, logo, model number or code on the lock face, key, cylinder or rear mechanism. If nothing is visible, photograph both sides of the lock and the complete locker door for identification.

Are all locker locks from the same manufacturer interchangeable?

No. A manufacturer can produce multiple lock families using different bodies, cams, fixings, door preparations and operating methods. Identify the model and physical arrangement as well as the brand.

Can I replace a Lowe & Fletcher locker lock?

Many Lowe & Fletcher locker locks can be replaced or an alternative replacement route can be identified. Check the lock type, dimensions, fixing, cam and any existing key or product references before ordering.

Can I replace an Ojmar locker lock?

Yes, subject to identifying the existing product and confirming compatibility. Ojmar manufactures several different mechanical, coin-operated and electronic locker lock systems, so the brand alone is insufficient to select the replacement.

Can an ASSA locker lock be replaced?

Many ASSA locker installations can be maintained using replacement locks, keys or suitable alternative solutions. Older systems should be identified carefully because the original product may no longer be current.

Can I replace a Digilock with another Digilock?

Potentially, but first identify the existing model, mounting arrangement, operating mode and management requirements. Electronic lock compatibility involves more than the physical dimensions of the lock.

Can another manufacturer’s lock replace the original?

Sometimes, but it should not be assumed. Cross-brand replacement depends on the door preparation, fixings, cam or latch arrangement, dimensions and intended operation.

Should I replace the locker lock if I have lost the key?

Not necessarily. If the lock remains serviceable and the correct manufacturer and key code can be identified, ordering a replacement key may be sufficient.

Where can I buy replacement locker locks in the UK?

Total Locker Service supplies replacement locker locks for commercial locker installations, including keyed, hasp, coin-operated, combination, keypad and RFID options for schools, workplaces, leisure facilities, healthcare settings and other managed sites.
