Choosing the Right School Lockers

While choosing school lockers may seem straightforward, you could be surprised at how many of these kinds of lockers there are on the market, and choosing the best ones for your school is a more important decision than you may have thought. It's important not to rush and make the wrong selection.

Bear in mind that if you buy a product which is too small, your school could end up littered with coats and other belongings which don't fit in the school lockers you have bought. Equally, you have to balance the need for adequately sized storage lockers with the available space in school.

So you need to think about where you are going to locate your school storage lockers. Hallways can be distracting places to keep school lockers, as the noise pupils inevitably make when fetching their stuff can be distracting for nearby classrooms, especially with metal lockers.

A school should therefore earmark space that is far enough away from classrooms to not create interference, while being near enough for students to easily visit their lockers to retrieve textbooks and other belongings between classes

There are dozens of different school lockers available - from thin and tall lockers to those which are stacked several tiers high. Other school lockers have separate compartments for storing books and jackets. Many schools find metal lockers work best.

When it comes to storage lockers for schools, the good news is that there is no reason why you cannot choose school lockers for your school that will serve your pupils' needs, use school space well, and maybe even save money in the long run.

Choosing Staff Lockers

If your business is on the look-out for new staff lockers, you'll find these kinds of lockers come in all shapes and sizes, from metal lockers to wire mesh storage lockers to combination staff lockers which incorporate storing and hanging space.

So it can seem daunting, especially if you've never bought staff lockers before. Start by deciding what material you want these storage lockers to be made from. While metal lockers are great, it's also possible to buy staff lockers made from other materials, such as plastic, wire or wood, depending on what you need the products to be used for. For heavy duty storage, metal lockers are hard to beat. For lighter and average duty applications, consider using wooden or plastic lockers rather than metal lockers.

It may sound obvious, but when buying industrial storage lockers or staff lockers, go for products which can actually be locked. Some cheaper lockers just have a latch, and this can cause security problems. Try to choose models with pull handles which recess into the door, and loop eyes where a padlock can be put on.

Also consider that staff lockers should be ventilated, with at least the door vented so air can circulate. Storage lockers with diamond shaped slots allow air to flow easily through the vent door.

Finally, don't buy more lockers than you need. Your staff needs to access their stuff easily, without overcrowding. If you're short on space, consider wall-mounted storage lockers.
