School Lockers, for high schools, colleges, and primary schools

Need help choosing Lockers for your School?

Buying any type of locker for your school can seem like a challenge, what type, what locks do we need? What colours? What sizes? Do we need singles or nests ? What is a Nest ?

With our years of supplying a very diverse locker range to schools, colleges, factories and offices, we have put a few pointers together to make the task of choosing  lockers that much easier for you......

The most important things to consider when buying a locker...

• Number of, “compartments”, “tiers” or “doors” in the height of each locker.

  • There are a number of choices available Single, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, doors / compartments / tiers in the height of a standard locker.

  • Consider the space needed per pupil and space available for the locating of the locker and this may give you the answer.

  • What the pupil will be storing is also an important factor

    • Single and double compartment are usually suitable for hanging coats etc.

    • Three compartment lockers would be suitable for PE bags, lunchboxes, text books, (The 3 and indeed 4 compartment options are generally the most widely used in schools today).

• Sizes,

  • May be dependent on the depth you have available, the range of depths available in our range includes 12” (305mm), 15” (380mm), 18” (460mm), widths include 12” (305mm), 15” (380mm), 18” (460mm), All lockers are 70” (1780mm) high.

• The Number of lockers you need.

  • Lockers are available as a single locker, or a nest of 2 (two singles fixed together side by side) or nests of 3 (Subject to locker size - three lockers fixed together side by side). The idea of nesting is to reduce costs on handling and materials.

• The Type of Lock

  • There are a number of locks available for your locker, each with their own benefits.

  • The most commonly used on our lockers, are cam locks, or the more common of the two hasp locks. The Cam locks operate via a replaceable key, and the hasp locks via a padlock, either a key operated padlock, or combination padlock (These are normally charged to the pupil or the pupil can bring their own in)

  • Other more specialised locks are available including Combination Locks, Coin / Token Retain / Return locks, these are more commonly used in sports centres, gyms and so on.

Accessories for your Locker

• • There are a number of accessories available to use with your locker.

  • Sloping tops – these prevent items being stored on top of the locker and are less likely to retain dirt and dust on top, than a conventional flat top locker.

  • Stands and Seats – A wide range of locker stands are available, these lift the locker off of the floor to enable underneath the locker to be swept out, or even used for storing shoes and footwear. Locker seats act the same as the locker stands, but provide a seat area in front of the locker for sitting whilst getting changed.

Summary...

• Choose the number of doors / compartments / tiers

• Choose the size of locker you need

• Choose the quantity of single, nest of 2, nest of 3 lockers
