Locker Shopping 101: How to Choose the Perfect Locker and Lock Type

If you’ve ever shopped for a medical locker, you know that it can be overwhelming. There are so many options! What type of lock do I need? What color should I choose? What size do I need? Don’t worry, young men! Here is a helpful guide on how to choose the perfect locker and lock type for your needs.

Colour

The color you choose is completely up to you. Do you want something that stands out from the rest or something subtle? Whatever your preference, there are plenty of colors to choose from. From black to blue and even pink, the possibilities are endless!

Dimensions

The size of your locker will depend on what items you plan to store in it. If you only need space for books, a smaller size will do. However, if you plan to store larger items such as gym clothes or backpacks, then a bigger size may be necessary. Measure twice and buy once!

Exposed End Panel

An exposed end panel adds an extra layer of protection by sealing off the front edges of the locker. This prevents prying eyes from seeing inside your locker and gives it an added sense of security.

Stands

Stands add stability to your locker and make it easier to access from all angles. The best stands have adjustable heights so that they can accommodate different sizes of lockers. Also look for locking casters which provide additional security by preventing theft and tampering with locks or other components in the locker system.

Slope Top Kit

If your locker is located in a high-traffic area, consider investing in a slope top kit. This kit provides extra protection against dust, dirt and moisture while also making it easier for users to open their lockers without having to bend down too far.
Types of locks

Now onto the fun part – choosing a lock type! There are several types available depending on your needs including cam locks, hasp locks, combination locks, coin return locks, coin retain locks and networked locks. Cam locks offer basic security but can easily be picked with common tools like bobby pins or paperclips; hasp locks offer more security but require two separate keys; combination locks are self-explanatory – just remember your code; coin return and coin retain locks require coins or tokens which help prevent vandalism; networked locks allow multiple users access with one key/card/keypad/etc., making them great for businesses with shared spaces like gyms or office buildings.
