Correct spacing improves comfort, reduces congestion and ensures the layout works under real usage conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor bench placement creates blocked aisles, restricted locker access and unsafe movement, especially during peak periods such as shift changes or gym turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide explains the correct distance between benches and lockers, how spacing differs in changing rooms and workplaces, and how to plan layouts for both standing and seated use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-bench-spacing-matters\">Why bench spacing matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Benches change how space behaves. Without benches, users move through a corridor. With benches, users sit, turn, store belongings and occupy space for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates three overlapping zones: seated users, moving users and storage space for bags and clothing. If spacing is too tight, these zones conflict and the layout fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-bench-spacing-uk-guidance\">Recommended bench spacing (UK guidance)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Layout type<\/th><th>Recommended distance<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Bench to locker (minimum)<\/td><td>900mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bench to locker (comfortable use)<\/td><td>1000\u20131200mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bench to bench (back-to-back)<\/td><td>1400\u20131800mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bench with active aisle behind<\/td><td>1800\u20132200mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accessible bench spacing<\/td><td>1500mm+ clear route<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key principle:<\/strong> spacing must allow someone seated and another person passing behind without obstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-distance-between-benches-and-lockers\">Distance between benches and lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-minimum-functional-spacing-900mm\">Minimum functional spacing: 900mm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allows basic sitting and limited movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for low-use staff areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not ideal for changing environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practical-working-spacing-1000-1200mm\">Practical working spacing: 1000\u20131200mm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allows seated use and locker access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces congestion and contact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for most workplaces and schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-use-environments-1200mm\">High-use environments: 1200mm+<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supports changing, bending and movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces conflict with open locker doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recommended for gyms and leisure facilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bench-to-bench-spacing-central-layouts\">Bench-to-bench spacing (central layouts)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-minimum-1400mm\">Minimum: 1400mm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tight spacing suitable only for low traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-1600-1800mm\">Recommended: 1600\u20131800mm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allows seated users on both sides with limited movement between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-with-circulation-1800-2200mm\">With circulation: 1800\u20132200mm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Supports passing traffic and reduces congestion during peak use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-standing-vs-seated-use\">Standing vs seated use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seated-use-changing-rooms\">Seated use (changing rooms)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Requires space to sit, lean forward, stand and store belongings.

It determines how much can be stored inside and how far the locker extends into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is locker projection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Locker projection is the total space a locker installation requires in use. It includes locker depth, door swing, handles, benches and the space needed for a person to stand and access the locker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a typical locker depth in the UK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common locker depths in the UK are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>300 mm for small items and compact spaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>380 mm for balanced storage in tighter rooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>450 mm for general workplace and school use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>500 mm or more for uniforms, PPE and larger items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does locker depth affect room layout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deeper lockers reduce available walkway space. This can make aisles narrower, restrict movement and cause congestion, especially during busy periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much space is needed in front of lockers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Space is needed for door opening, user access and safe movement. This usually requires more room than the locker depth alone, especially if benches are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do locker doors increase projection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. When doors are open, they extend into the room and reduce usable space. Wider doors require more clearance and can block walkways if not planned properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should locker depth be reduced in small rooms?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In smaller rooms, shallower lockers can improve movement and usability. A slightly smaller locker is often more practical if it allows better access and safer circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do benches affect locker projection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Benches add to the total space required. They increase projection and must be included in layout planning to avoid blocking access or reducing aisle width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are deeper lockers always better?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. While deeper lockers provide more storage, they can reduce usable space. The best option balances storage needs with safe and comfortable movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the biggest mistake when planning locker depth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common mistake is only measuring the locker size and ignoring real usage space, including door swing, benches and user movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bench spacing defines how locker spaces function in real conditions. A well-planned layout allows seated and standing use without conflict, maintains movement routes and improves overall usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignoring clearance leads to congestion, discomfort and layouts that fail under normal use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is locker depth?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Locker depth is the front-to-back measurement of a locker.
