Assess the Installation Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conduct a full site audit before ordering. This will impact locker selection and installation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dimensions of the area (height, width, depth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wall materials and structural supports (plasterboard vs block wall)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flooring type and level (uneven floors may require levelling feet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ventilation (especially important in gyms and changing areas)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighting and visibility (to deter misuse or vandalism)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common site constraints:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fire doors or extinguishers blocking layout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overhead pipes, air vents, or ceiling restrictions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to power if digital locks are being installed<\/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\" id=\"h-3-choose-the-right-locker-type\">3.
