Include full front views, side views, locks, vents and any labels or markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measure-existing\">Measure the Existing Lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not rely on appearance alone. Two lockers that look almost identical can have different dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>overall height;<\/li>\n<li>overall width;<\/li>\n<li>overall depth;<\/li>\n<li>number of doors;<\/li>\n<li>individual compartment height;<\/li>\n<li>base or stand height;<\/li>\n<li>sloping-top dimensions where fitted;<\/li>\n<li>bench or seat dimensions where integrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a relatively small depth difference can make a new locker bank project further into the room than the existing installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For general locker dimensions, see <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-sizes-uk\/\">Locker Sizes and Dimensions UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"exact-match\">Do New Lockers Need to Match Exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. An exact match can be desirable, but it is not always necessary or possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An older locker range may have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>changed dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>changed door designs;<\/li>\n<li>different ventilation patterns;<\/li>\n<li>updated colours;<\/li>\n<li>different locks;<\/li>\n<li>been replaced by a newer range;<\/li>\n<li>been discontinued completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical objective is usually to make the new lockers work successfully with the existing installation, rather than forcing an exact match where one is no longer available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"matching-dimensions\">Matching Locker Height, Width and Depth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dimensions have both visual and operational consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Height<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different locker heights create an obvious step between old and new banks. This may be acceptable where the new lockers form a separate run or zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Width<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker width affects how many additional units can fit along the available wall and the usable width of each compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Depth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depth is particularly important where new and existing lockers sit directly beside one another. A deeper new unit can project beyond the existing bank and affect aisle space or bench clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where exact dimensions cannot be matched, consider placing the new lockers as a clearly separate bank rather than creating an awkward near-match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"door-configuration\">Matching the Door Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new lockers do not always need the same number of doors as the existing units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an organisation may already have full-height lockers but need additional smaller compartments for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bags;<\/li>\n<li>personal belongings;<\/li>\n<li>mobile devices;<\/li>\n<li>smaller PPE;<\/li>\n<li>temporary users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that situation, maintaining identical external appearance may be less important than selecting the correct compartment size for the new requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commercial range includes multiple door configurations, materials and specialist locker types. Browse <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Lockers.php\">commercial lockers<\/a> to compare current options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"colour-matching\">Matching New Locker Colours to Existing Lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colour matching is often more difficult than expected because the original finish may have aged, faded or been discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a close match matters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>identify the original manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>find the original colour reference if possible;<\/li>\n<li>check whether the same finish remains available;<\/li>\n<li>request a current sample where necessary;<\/li>\n<li>compare the physical sample with the installed lockers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an exact match is impossible, an intentional contrasting colour can sometimes look better than a slightly different version of the original colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed colour guidance, see <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/blog-locker-colours-finishes-uk\/\">Locker Colours and Finishes UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"existing-locks\">Should New Lockers Use the Same Lock Type?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the same lock system can simplify management, but it is not automatically the best decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before copying the existing lock, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the existing system still work well?<\/li>\n<li>Are replacement keys readily available?<\/li>\n<li>Is a master-key system already in use?<\/li>\n<li>Are users assigned or changing?<\/li>\n<li>Is the organisation trying to reduce key management?<\/li>\n<li>Would a hasp, combination or electronic system suit the new users better?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extending an installation creates an opportunity to review the existing lock strategy rather than automatically reproducing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If maintaining one lock type is important, record the manufacturer, lock model and any relevant key series before specifying the new lockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-compatibility\">Locker Key and Master-Key Compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new key-operated locker does not automatically work with the master-key system already used on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If continuity is required, identify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>existing lock manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>lock series;<\/li>\n<li>key series;<\/li>\n<li>master-key arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>number range;<\/li>\n<li>any existing key schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information should be considered before the additional lockers are ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the original lock system cannot be continued, the new locker bank can be managed as a separate key series or use another suitable locking method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"numbering\">Continue the Locker Numbering System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional lockers should normally fit into a clear numbering system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before ordering number plates, record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the highest existing locker number;<\/li>\n<li>whether numbering is sequential;<\/li>\n<li>whether different rooms use separate ranges;<\/li>\n<li>whether prefixes identify departments or locations;<\/li>\n<li>whether duplicate numbers already exist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small extension is an opportunity to correct numbering problems before they become more difficult to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-numbering-labelling-guide-uk\/\">Locker Numbering and Labelling UK<\/a> for detailed guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"available-space\">Measure the Space Available for Additional Lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not calculate capacity from wall length alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also account for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>doorways;<\/li>\n<li>radiators;<\/li>\n<li>pipework;<\/li>\n<li>columns;<\/li>\n<li>skirting;<\/li>\n<li>electrical equipment;<\/li>\n<li>benches;<\/li>\n<li>locker door swing;<\/li>\n<li>aisle width;<\/li>\n<li>cleaning access;<\/li>\n<li>escape routes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining wall space may appear large enough while still being unsuitable once circulation and door operation are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the full layout process,

has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extend-or-new-bank\">Extend the Existing Run or Create a Separate Locker Bank?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional lockers do not have to sit immediately beside the old installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extending the existing run can work well where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>matching dimensions are available;<\/li>\n<li>the finish is compatible;<\/li>\n<li>there is sufficient adjacent space;<\/li>\n<li>the same user group will use the new lockers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A separate bank can be better where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the new product is visibly different;<\/li>\n<li>the locker depth has changed;<\/li>\n<li>a different department needs the lockers;<\/li>\n<li>a new lock system is being introduced;<\/li>\n<li>the extension would make the original wall overcrowded;<\/li>\n<li>an intentional new zone is easier to manage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separating old and new installations can make a specification difference look intentional rather than accidental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mixed-old-new\">Managing Mixed Old and New Locker Installations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is nothing inherently wrong with operating different locker ranges on the same site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, mixed installations are easier to maintain if the differences are recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep a simple record of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>locker range;<\/li>\n<li>location;<\/li>\n<li>installation date;<\/li>\n<li>lock type;<\/li>\n<li>key series;<\/li>\n<li>colour;<\/li>\n<li>door configuration;<\/li>\n<li>replacement-part route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This avoids future facilities teams assuming that visually similar lockers use interchangeable components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"retain-serviceable\">Retain Serviceable Existing Lockers Where Appropriate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expansion does not automatically justify replacing lockers that still perform their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing lockers may be worth retaining where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>frames remain sound;<\/li>\n<li>doors operate correctly;<\/li>\n<li>corrosion is limited;<\/li>\n<li>locks remain serviceable;<\/li>\n<li>replacement parts are available;<\/li>\n<li>compartment sizes remain suitable;<\/li>\n<li>the existing bank does not obstruct the revised layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Damaged locks, keys, hinges or other components do not necessarily mean the complete locker bank needs replacing. TLS also supports existing installations with replacement keys, locks, parts and servicing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"phase-expansion\">Phased Locker Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large sites do not always need to add every future locker at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A phased approach can work where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>headcount is increasing gradually;<\/li>\n<li>building works are happening in stages;<\/li>\n<li>departments are relocating at different times;<\/li>\n<li>budget is spread across financial periods;<\/li>\n<li>future capacity is uncertain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If future expansion is likely, record the product range and complete specification from the first phase. This makes later matching easier, although product and colour availability can still change over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installation\">Installation Planning for Additional Lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional lockers still require the same installation planning as a new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>delivery route;<\/li>\n<li>door widths;<\/li>\n<li>stairs and lifts;<\/li>\n<li>final room position;<\/li>\n<li>floor condition;<\/li>\n<li>wall construction;<\/li>\n<li>required fixing;<\/li>\n<li>alignment with existing lockers;<\/li>\n<li>access for skirting or service runs;<\/li>\n<li>working hours and site restrictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If lockers are being installed directly beside an existing run, also check whether the original units are level and correctly positioned. Do not assume the old installation provides a perfect reference line for the new work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"information-for-quote\">What Information Helps When Requesting Additional Lockers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provide as much of the existing specification as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>number of additional lockers required;<\/li>\n<li>photographs of existing lockers;<\/li>\n<li>manufacturer and range if known;<\/li>\n<li>overall height;<\/li>\n<li>width;<\/li>\n<li>depth;<\/li>\n<li>number of doors;<\/li>\n<li>colour or colour reference;<\/li>\n<li>lock type;<\/li>\n<li>key or master-key requirements;<\/li>\n<li>current numbering;<\/li>\n<li>available wall dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>delivery and installation requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographs showing the whole locker bank and surrounding room are often more useful than close-up photographs alone because they show how the extension needs to fit into the existing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Lockers.php\">Browse Commercial Lockers<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common-mistakes\">Common Mistakes When Adding Lockers to an Existing Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ordering by appearance alone:<\/strong> measure the existing units.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming the original product still exists:<\/strong> ranges and specifications change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring locker depth:<\/strong> a deeper unit can affect room circulation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trying to force an imperfect colour match:<\/strong> an intentional contrast can look better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming all key locks are compatible:<\/strong> identify the existing lock and key system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restarting locker numbers at 1:<\/strong> integrate new units into the site&#8217;s numbering system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using every available centimetre of wall:<\/strong> allow for door swing and circulation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replacing sound lockers unnecessarily:<\/strong> repair or retain serviceable units where practical.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Failing to record the new specification:<\/strong> keep details for future repairs and expansion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checklist\">Existing Locker Extension Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm how many additional users need lockers.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the existing locker manufacturer.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the product range if possible.<\/li>\n<li>Measure height, width and depth.<\/li>\n<li>Record the existing compartment configuration.<\/li>\n<li>Record the current colour and finish.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the lock type.<\/li>\n<li>Check whether master-key compatibility is required.<\/li>\n<li>Record the current numbering system.<\/li>\n<li>Measure the available installation area.<\/li>\n<li>Check aisle and door clearance.<\/li>\n<li>Decide whether new lockers should continue the existing run.<\/li>\n<li>Consider a separate bank if exact matching is not practical.<\/li>\n<li>Retain serviceable old lockers where appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>Plan delivery and installation access.<\/li>\n<li>Record the final new specification for future additions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">Adding Lockers to an Existing Installation FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group faq-schema-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add more lockers to an existing locker bank?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Additional lockers can often be installed beside or near an existing locker bank, provided the available space, dimensions and installation requirements are checked first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do new lockers have to be the same brand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Using the same range can make matching easier, but another suitable locker can be used where the original product is unavailable or a different specification better suits the new requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can new lockers match old locker colours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes. The original colour may still be available, but ageing, fading and product changes can make an exact visual match difficult. Use physical samples where the match is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can new lockers use the same master key?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potentially, but only where the lock system and key series are compatible. Identify the existing lock manufacturer and master-key arrangement before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I replace the old lockers at the same time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily. Existing lockers that remain secure, serviceable and suitable can often continue in use alongside new units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the original locker model has been discontinued?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a current locker that meets the operational requirement and fits the available space. A separate or deliberately contrasting new bank can sometimes be preferable to an imperfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What measurements are needed when adding lockers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record the existing locker height, width, depth, door configuration and any stand, plinth or sloping-top dimensions. Also measure the available room space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I buy additional commercial lockers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total Locker Service supplies <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Lockers.php\">commercial lockers<\/a> for schools, workplaces, leisure centres, healthcare facilities, factories, warehouses and other UK organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Extend the Locker Installation Around What Already Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An expanding organisation does not automatically need to replace a complete locker installation. Where the existing units remain serviceable, additional lockers can be planned around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by identifying and measuring the existing lockers, then decide whether matching the original range is practical or whether a separate new locker bank provides a cleaner solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dimensions, colours, locks, keys, numbering and installation all need to be considered, but exact visual duplication should not take priority over choosing lockers that actually meet the new storage requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For current school, workplace, leisure, metal, plastic, charging, wire mesh and specialist options, browse the complete range of <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Lockers.php\">commercial lockers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-guides\">Related Locker Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Lockers.php\">Commercial Lockers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-replacement-planning-uk\/\">Locker Replacement Planning UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/blog-locker-colours-finishes-uk\/\">Locker Colours and Finishes UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-sizes-uk\/\">Locker Sizes and Dimensions UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-planning-uk-layout-space-guide\/\">Locker Planning UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-numbering-labelling-guide-uk\/\">Locker Numbering and Labelling UK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/blog-retrofit-locker-locks-uk\/\">Retrofit Locker Locks UK<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding lockers to an existing installation is not always as simple as ordering more units that look similar.
