School
Lockers are offered in numerous sizes, configurations, materials,
colors, and styles. There are
choices for almost any need and facility.
There are lockers for pre-school, middle school, high school, and
colleges. There are also locker choices for those that work in a school
environment such as kitchen employees, janitorial staff, and physical education
staff. And there are different
functions for lockers such as hall lockers, kitchen lockers, staff lockers,
sports lockers, supply storage lockers, and equipment storage
lockers.
School Lockers are configured in many different manners to
serve the specific needs of the particular facility. Standard
lockers can be stacked or tiered upon one another and are called single
tier, double tier, and triple tier lockers. Hall lockers can also be
tiered. Sports lockers can be
vented to aid in the ventilation and evaporation of moisture. Gym lockers can be tiered, open access,
or basket depending on the need. Stadium lockers are specifically designed
for sporting events at school stadiums.
Schools also need to store supplies and maintenance equipment to prevent
theft and there are special lockers for these tasks. Some schools have shop classes so they
need lockers to store tools and maintain security. School lockers can also be purchased for
residential use by parents who wish to organize their children’s
things.
Perhaps the most
popular School Lockers
are the single tier and double tier metal lockers.
They are durable lockers and are the most economical choice. Usually single tier lockers are chosen
when a larger amount of storage space is desired. These lockers have sufficient space to
accommodate full length hanging coats, back packs, and clothing. They usually have an upper shelf for
easy access to smaller items such as books, supplies, and lunches. Usually these lockers are at least
eighteen inches deep or deeper and include a coat rod and / or coat hooks. These
lockers are usually constructed of 16 gauge steel and painted in a basic gray or
tan color. However, other colors
may be available. When the need for storage space is less then double tier
lockers are a popular choice because they will require only half of the floor
space. Triple tier lockers will
triple the number of lockers with the same floor space as single tier
lockers.
There are a
number of choices and options available for the School Locker
buyer. The lockers can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or combinations of
various materials. The locker doors can be solid, louvered, or ventilated. Fire extinguisher doors and waste bin
doors are also available for school buyers. Lockers that may be in locations subject
to more abuse can order heavier 16 gauge steel doors. Corridors and high traffic areas are
possible locations for these stronger doors. Locker doors can also have sound
dampening panels welded to the inside of the door to reduce noise. The locker door frame is usually made
from 16 gauge steel but if greater strength and rigidity is desired then cross
frame members can be welded to the standard frame.
School
lockers also offer several different handle and latching types. Handles can be recessed into the locker
box or they can attach to the outside of the locker. Most handles are either the
“lift-out” or the “lift-up” design. The more modern latches are secure
multi-point latches with an automatic opening / closing. Single point latches
are more traditional latches and they are virtually maintenance free because
there are no moving parts.
