Single Tier Lockers

Single tier lockers provide full-height storage and are commonly used in workplaces where employees need space for coats, uniforms or larger personal belongings.

These lockers provide the largest individual storage compartments.

Two Tier Lockers

Two tier lockers divide the locker vertically into two compartments. They are commonly used in schools and staff changing rooms where users need space for bags and clothing.

This configuration allows twice as many users compared with single tier lockers within the same space.

Four Tier Lockers

Four tier lockers are commonly used in gyms and leisure centres. Each user receives a smaller compartment suitable for storing personal belongings such as clothing, shoes or gym bags.

Six Tier Lockers

Six tier lockers maximise the number of users who can share a locker installation. They are commonly used in schools where many students need individual storage.

Choosing the Right Locker Size

When selecting locker sizes, it is important to consider the items that will be stored and the number of lockers required.

  • Large items such as coats require full-height lockers
  • Personal belongings can be stored in smaller compartments
  • Multi-tier lockers allow more users in limited space

Planning the correct locker layout ensures users have adequate storage while maintaining safe walkways.
