Total Locker Service worked with The Disney Store to develop a secure staff-locker solution for storing personal belongings in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project began in 2015, when Disney approached us to discuss locker options for employees. The requirement was not simply to supply a standard locker, but to identify a storage system that suited the available space, the items staff needed to store and the way the lockers would be managed day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Staff<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Staff Storage Requirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Disney needed secure storage for employees’ personal belongings, including items such as wallets, purses and mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several locker types were considered during the early stages of the project, including heated lockers and compact personal-effects lockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim was to balance storage capacity, ease of use, security and the practical management of a relatively large workplace installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing Different Locker Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rather than assuming that one locker type would automatically be suitable, Total Locker Service discussed several options with the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These included compact MiniMinder-style lockers for personal belongings as well as larger and more specialist storage options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The locking system was considered alongside the locker itself because the way staff access a locker can have a significant effect on administration, replacement parts and day-to-day operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing a Sample Locker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because the project involved a significant number of lockers, Disney wanted to confirm that the proposed product would meet its requirements before placing the main order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Locker Service therefore arranged for a sample locker to be supplied for evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gave the customer an opportunity to assess the size, construction, compartment layout and locking arrangement in a real working environment rather than relying solely on drawings or product literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback from the trial was positive, and following a small number of adjustments to the quotation and specification, the main order was placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Locking System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several lock options were discussed as part of the specification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An adjustable Ojmar coin lock was selected for the installation. Adjustable coin locks provide greater flexibility than fixed-denomination mechanisms because the operating coin value can be changed within the limits of the lock design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be useful for organisations that want to retain the option to alter how temporary-use lockers are operated without replacing the complete locking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current locker projects can be specified with a wide range of access methods, including key locks, padlock fittings, mechanical combination locks, coin-operated locks, digital locks and RFID systems. See our locker locks and replacement locking systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Management and Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the order was confirmed, Total Locker Service assigned Helen Ponder as project manager to coordinate customer communication, delivery and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lockers were delivered and installed in November 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing the project through a single point of contact helped coordinate the specification, delivery arrangements and final installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal-Effects Lockers with Vision Panel Doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compact personal-effects lockers are designed for smaller items rather than coats, bags or full changes of clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical uses include storing wallets, purses, mobile phones, keys and other personal belongings during a shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision-panel doors can be useful where authorised staff need to identify whether a compartment is occupied or inspect the visible contents without opening every locker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the product range, personal-effects lockers can be supplied in multiple compartment configurations and with different locking systems to suit the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heated Lockers Were Also Considered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heated lockers were considered during the early stages of the Disney project as one of several possible storage solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are designed for applications where wet or damp clothing needs to be stored and dried during the working day, making them particularly relevant to industrial, utilities, construction and outdoor-working environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Disney Project Demonstrates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Disney Store project shows the value of matching the locker specification to the way staff will actually use and manage the storage system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
