A number, letter or short reference is engraved into the material to give the locker a clear permanent physical identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engraved locker plates are commonly used in schools, workplaces, gyms, leisure centres, healthcare facilities, changing rooms and industrial sites where many similar locker doors need to be distinguished quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should Be Specified on a Locker Number Plate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical specification normally includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>plate shape;<\/li>\n<li>overall dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>material;<\/li>\n<li>background colour;<\/li>\n<li>engraved character colour;<\/li>\n<li>character size and layout;<\/li>\n<li>position on the locker door;<\/li>\n<li>compatibility with holders, recesses or existing holes;<\/li>\n<li>the intended fixing arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>whether the plate must match an existing installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The locker number itself should already have been agreed before the plate is manufactured. Numbering strategy and physical plate specification are related, but they are separate decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the Right Locker Number Plate Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best shape depends on the available door space, the length of the identifier and whether the new plate needs to match an existing locker bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Round Locker Number Plates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Round plates are a compact option for simple locker numbers and suit many conventional locker-door layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>well suited to short numeric references;<\/li>\n<li>compact on narrower doors;<\/li>\n<li>easy to reproduce as sequential sets;<\/li>\n<li>useful where an existing locker bank already uses discs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oval Locker Number Plates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oval plates provide more horizontal space than a circular plate while retaining rounded edges. They can suit slightly longer references or installations where an existing oval plate needs replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rectangular Locker Number Plates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rectangular plates provide useful horizontal space for larger numbers or short alphanumeric locker references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>suitable for longer references;<\/li>\n<li>useful where larger characters are required;<\/li>\n<li>can accommodate short prefixes;<\/li>\n<li>often practical when matching existing commercial locker identification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Probe-Pure-locker-numbers-1.webp\" alt=\"Engraved locker number plates fitted to Pure and Probe commercial lockers\" class=\"wp-image-8582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Probe-Pure-locker-numbers-1.webp 400w, https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Probe-Pure-locker-numbers-1-300x292.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Square Locker Number Plates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Square plates can work well where the locker design, recess or existing identification uses a regular geometric format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bespoke Locker Number Plate Shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bespoke plate may be necessary when reproducing an older installation, fitting an existing recess or working around a particular locker-door feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where identification needs to surround the lock cylinder rather than sit independently on the locker door, a numbered lock escutcheon may be more appropriate. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/LockNumberPlate.php\"><strong>numbered locker lock escutcheon plates<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Size Should an Engraved Locker Number Plate Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single standard size suitable for every locker. The plate needs enough room for the identifier to remain clear while fitting comfortably within the usable area of the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the available flat area;<\/li>\n<li>the number of characters;<\/li>\n<li>the expected viewing distance;<\/li>\n<li>nearby locks, handles and vents;<\/li>\n<li>existing holders or recesses;<\/li>\n<li>whether the new plate must match existing dimensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page covers locker-specific plate sizing only.

Engraving removes the face layer to expose a contrasting core, producing a permanent visible reference rather than relying on surface printing alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potential advantages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>strong contrast between the characters and plate face;<\/li>\n<li>lightweight construction;<\/li>\n<li>multiple colour combinations;<\/li>\n<li>custom shapes and dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>repeatable production of sequential sets;<\/li>\n<li>straightforward production of matching replacement plates;<\/li>\n<li>suitability for many indoor commercial locker installations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plastic vs Metal Locker Number Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engraving laminates and other plastics are widely used for locker identification because they are lightweight, adaptable and available in contrasting colour combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metal plates may be appropriate where the installation requires a metallic finish, a heavier-duty specification or compatibility with an existing metal identification system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Consideration<\/th>\n<th>Engraving laminate \/ plastic<\/th>\n<th>Metal<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight<\/td>\n<td>Light<\/td>\n<td>Generally heavier<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Colour combinations<\/td>\n<td>Wide range<\/td>\n<td>Depends on material and finish<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom shapes<\/td>\n<td>Usually straightforward<\/td>\n<td>Depends on specification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Matching older locker plates<\/td>\n<td>Often suitable<\/td>\n<td>Suitable where the original is metal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Typical indoor locker use<\/td>\n<td>Common<\/td>\n<td>Application dependent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Material selection should be based on the existing locker, environment and required appearance rather than assuming one material is automatically better for every installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing Locker Number Plate Colours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colour affects both appearance and readability. The number needs enough contrast against the plate face to remain easy to identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>use a clear contrast between characters and background;<\/li>\n<li>consider contrast between the plate and locker door;<\/li>\n<li>match existing plates when replacing individual items;<\/li>\n<li>use colours consistently across the same locker bank;<\/li>\n<li>avoid relying on colour alone to communicate the locker reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corporate, school or departmental colours can be used where appropriate, but readability should remain the priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Character Size, Layout and Contrast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The engraved number or reference needs to remain clear under normal viewing conditions. A plate may physically fit the door while still performing poorly if the characters are too small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>make the main locker reference visually dominant;<\/li>\n<li>avoid unnecessary wording;<\/li>\n<li>use strong contrast;<\/li>\n<li>avoid decorative character styles that reduce clarity;<\/li>\n<li>keep equivalent plates visually consistent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed character-height and viewing-distance decisions belong in the <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/what-size-engraved-tags\/\"><strong>Engraved Tag Size Guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Plate Holders, Recesses and Insert Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some locker doors contain an existing holder, recess or identification window. In these cases, replacement dimensions may be dictated by the locker hardware rather than by free choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure the actual installation rather than assuming every locker from the same manufacturer or range uses an identical insert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>measure the opening width and height;<\/li>\n<li>check the usable depth;<\/li>\n<li>inspect how the original plate is retained;<\/li>\n<li>record whether corners are square or rounded;<\/li>\n<li>check whether the insert slides, clips or sits behind another component;<\/li>\n<li>retain an original sample where possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number Plates That Fit Around Locker Locks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some locker identification is integrated around the lock rather than fitted independently to the door. These components are normally referred to as numbered lock escutcheons or lock number plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They require physical compatibility with the lock and locker door, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>central aperture size;<\/li>\n<li>outside dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>plate thickness;<\/li>\n<li>lock-barrel diameter;<\/li>\n<li>door construction;<\/li>\n<li>clearance around the lock;<\/li>\n<li>existing trim or escutcheon arrangement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For compatible products, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/LockNumberPlate.php\"><strong>numbered locker lock escutcheon plates<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Separate Locker Number Plate vs Numbered Lock Escutcheon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Requirement<\/th>\n<th>Separate number plate<\/th>\n<th>Numbered lock escutcheon<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Flexible position on locker door<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>No, position determined by the lock<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Independent of lock dimensions<\/td>\n<td>Usually<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Useful for matching a simple existing plate<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>Only where compatible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Replaces lock trim<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>Can do<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Requires central aperture compatibility<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Should a Locker Number Plate Be Positioned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A locker number plate should be placed in a consistent, visible position that works with the door design and does not interfere with the locker mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>keep equivalent plates at a consistent height;<\/li>\n<li>avoid door handles and lock movement;<\/li>\n<li>avoid vents and perforations;<\/li>\n<li>avoid pressed folds or heavily curved areas;<\/li>\n<li>consider existing label holders;<\/li>\n<li>avoid positions obscured by adjacent open doors;<\/li>\n<li>match the established position when replacing one plate in an existing bank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where many plates are being installed, a positioning template can help maintain a consistent finished appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing a Fixing Method for Locker Number Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker number plates can be attached in several ways depending on the locker-door surface, existing holes or recesses, plate format and environment. Common locker-specific options include self-adhesive backing, screws and rivets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide only covers fixing where it affects the locker plate specification itself, for example existing holes, recessed mounting positions or interference with locker hardware. For the broader comparison of adhesives, surface preparation, drilling, screws and rivets across engraved products, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-right-fixing-method-for-engraved-tags-and-nameplates\/\"><strong>How to Choose the Right Fixing Method for Engraved Tags and Nameplates<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For replacement plates, the existing fixing arrangement is particularly important because holes, adhesive residue or a recessed mounting position may influence the new plate specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing a Missing or Damaged Locker Number Plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A missing or damaged number plate does not normally require replacement of the locker. A correctly matched plate can restore the identification while leaving the locker itself in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before ordering a replacement, record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>width and height, or diameter;<\/li>\n<li>plate shape;<\/li>\n<li>material where known;<\/li>\n<li>background colour;<\/li>\n<li>engraving colour;<\/li>\n<li>plate thickness where relevant;<\/li>\n<li>general character style;<\/li>\n<li>existing fixing arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>hole positions if mechanically fixed;<\/li>\n<li>position on the locker door;<\/li>\n<li>the correct locker reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear straight-on photographs can also help when reproducing older identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matching Existing Locker Number Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When only one or two locker plates are being replaced, matching the surrounding installation is normally more important than creating a theoretically ideal new design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A visibly different plate can stand out across an otherwise consistent locker bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the closest practical match, provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>an undamaged original plate where available;<\/li>\n<li>clear front and rear photographs;<\/li>\n<li>precise dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>plate thickness if relevant;<\/li>\n<li>colour combination;<\/li>\n<li>fixing details;<\/li>\n<li>character layout;<\/li>\n<li>quantity required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older materials may change slightly through cleaning, wear and exposure, so an exact visual match is not always possible even when the original specification is reproduced closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matching Replacement Plates During Locker Refurbishment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker refurbishment is a good opportunity to decide whether existing number plates should be retained, individually replaced or refreshed as a complete group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the majority of the plates remain serviceable, individual matched replacements may be sufficient. If the identification has become heavily faded, damaged or inconsistent, replacing a logical group can create a cleaner baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the wider maintenance decision, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/maintain-replace-engraved-tags\/\"><strong>Maintain &amp; Replace Engraved Tags<\/strong><\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extending an Existing Locker Bank<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When additional lockers are installed beside an older bank, matching the established number-plate specification helps the extension appear intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>match existing plate dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>match the plate shape;<\/li>\n<li>retain the same colour combination;<\/li>\n<li>use the same general character layout;<\/li>\n<li>position plates consistently;<\/li>\n<li>retain the existing fixing approach where appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plate specification and numbering sequence should be recorded separately. For example, new lockers may continue from 101 to 120 while the physical plates remain identical to those used on lockers 001 to 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-numbering-labelling-guide-uk\/\"><strong>Locker Numbering &amp; Labelling Guide UK<\/strong><\/a> to plan the continuation of the actual numbering sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Number Plates for Schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School locker plates need clear contrast and consistent positioning so pupils and staff can identify individual compartments quickly. Physical durability and easy reproduction of replacement plates are generally more useful than decorative complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For wider education-sector planning, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/school-lockers-uk\/\"><strong>School Lockers UK guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Number Plates for Workplaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workplace locker number plates should remain visually consistent, durable and easy to replace across locker banks that may stay in service for many years. Where the visible locker reference is also used for allocation, maintenance or facilities records, the operational use of that identifier is covered separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the operational use of locker references, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/engraved-tags-lockers-numbering\/\"><strong>Engraved Locker Identification UK<\/strong><\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Number Plates for Gyms and Leisure Centres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leisure locker numbers need to be particularly easy to recognise because users may only use the locker temporarily. Clear characters, consistent positioning and a physical specification suited to frequent handling and cleaning are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For broader leisure locker selection and changing-room planning, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/gym-lockers\/\"><strong>Gym, Leisure &amp; Changing-Room Lockers guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Number Plates for Healthcare Staff Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthcare staff locker identification should remain clear and easy to maintain within the site&#8217;s normal cleaning regime. The plate material, surface compatibility and positioning should suit the locker installation rather than being chosen purely for appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Locker Number Plate Specification Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing a Plate That Is Too Small<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A plate may physically fit the locker door while still leaving insufficient space for a clear, readable number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Character Contrast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A colour combination may complement the locker finish but still be unsuitable if the engraved characters do not stand out sufficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignoring Existing Holders or Recesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacement plates need to fit the actual locker hardware. Measure the available space rather than assuming a standard size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordering Replacement Plates Without Measuring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume two lockers use the same number plate simply because they share a manufacturer or product family. Existing installations may differ by age, specification or accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing One Plate to a Completely Different Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single replacement that differs substantially from neighbouring plates can make an otherwise maintained locker bank look inconsistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turning Physical Plate Specification into Numbering Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sequences, prefixes, leading zeros, zone references and duplicate prevention belong in the <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/locker-numbering-labelling-guide-uk\/\"><strong>Locker Numbering &amp; Labelling Guide UK<\/strong><\/a>.

It carries a number, letter or short reference engraved into the material to identify the physical locker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What shape should an engraved locker number plate be?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Round, oval, rectangular and square plates can all be suitable. The best shape depends on available door space, the length of the reference and whether the new plate needs to match an existing installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What material is suitable for locker number plates?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Engraving laminate is widely used for indoor commercial locker identification because it is lightweight, available in contrasting colours and can be produced in custom shapes and sizes. Metal may suit particular installations or existing specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What size should a locker number plate be?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>The plate should be large enough for the locker reference to remain clear at the normal viewing distance while fitting comfortably within the available door space and avoiding locks, handles, vents and other features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can replacement locker number plates match existing plates?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Often, yes. Matching is easier when dimensions, shape, material, colour, character layout and fixing details are known or an original sample is available. Ageing of older materials can sometimes prevent an exact visual match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What is the difference between a locker number plate and a numbered lock escutcheon?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>A conventional locker number plate is positioned independently on the door. A numbered lock escutcheon surrounds the lock cylinder and must therefore be physically compatible with the lock aperture and locker door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should locker number plates be self-adhesive or mechanically fixed?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>The correct fixing depends on the locker surface, existing installation and environment. Adhesive may suit smooth clean surfaces, while screws or rivets can be appropriate where mechanical fixing is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">How should the locker numbers themselves be organised?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Number sequences, prefixes, leading zeros, zone references, duplicate prevention and future expansion should be planned separately from the physical plate specification using the Locker Numbering &amp; Labelling Guide UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locker number plates are a small detail, but they have a big effect on how well a locker system works.
