Locker Installation Guide: Planning and Installing Lockers in Your Facility

Locker installation is an important step when creating secure storage in schools, workplaces, gyms and leisure facilities. Proper planning helps ensure lockers are installed safely, efficiently and in a way that makes the best use of available space.

Lockers are usually installed in changing rooms, corridors or staff areas where users need convenient access to personal storage.

Planning a Locker Installation

Before installing lockers, it is important to consider the number of users and the available space. Lockers should be arranged so that users can easily access them without blocking walkways.

• Measure the available wall space
• Plan safe walkway areas
• Consider the number of users
• Select suitable locker configurations

Choosing the Installation Location

Lockers should be installed in locations that are easy for users to access while still allowing clear movement around the area. Many facilities install lockers along walls or in rows within changing rooms.

Good lighting and visibility also help improve locker security and usability.

Securing Lockers Safely

For safety reasons, lockers are often fixed to walls or secured together in rows. This helps prevent movement and ensures the lockers remain stable during use.

Proper installation also helps maintain the alignment of locker doors and locking mechanisms.

Allowing Space for Access

When planning locker layouts, it is important to leave enough space for users to open locker doors comfortably. Walkways should allow users to move around safely without creating congestion.

Facilities with large numbers of lockers may also benefit from arranging lockers in back-to-back rows to maximise storage capacity.
