Office Lockers

What Are Office Lockers Used For?

Office lockers provide employees with secure personal storage for bags, coats, laptops, valuables and personal items during the working day. In traditional assigned-desk offices, each employee typically has their own dedicated locker. In hot-desk or agile working environments, lockers are shared on a first-come, first-served basis — meaning keyless locking systems such as combination, electronic PIN or RFID locks are essential, as there is no practical way to manage individual keys across a rotating workforce.

What is the Best Type of Office Locker?

The best office locker depends on your workplace layout and how your team works. For modern open-plan or hot-desk offices, slim-line locker units in neutral or on-brand colours with electronic or combination locks create a clean, professional look without dominating the space. For staff rooms, changing areas or back-of-house locations where aesthetics matter less, standard steel lockers with key or combination locks are a practical and cost-effective choice. For higher-security requirements — such as storing laptops, devices or valuables — electronic lockers with individual PIN codes or RFID access provide an additional layer of protection and an audit trail.

What Locking System is Best for Hot-Desk Office Lockers?

For hot-desking environments, combination locks and electronic PIN locks are the two most practical options. Mechanical combination locks require no infrastructure, no batteries and no key management — users simply set their own code each time. Electronic PIN locks offer more features, including the ability to reset codes remotely, audit access logs and set master override codes for facilities managers. RFID locks that work with existing staff ID cards or fobs are also an excellent choice in offices where access cards are already in use, as staff do not need to remember a separate code.

Can Office Lockers be Integrated with Existing Access Control Systems?

Yes. Lockertek supplies RFID locker locks and smart locker systems that can be integrated with existing staff ID card systems, fob systems and some building access control platforms. For larger installations requiring software management — such as tracking which lockers are in use, generating access reports or enabling remote lock and unlock — we also supply smart locker management systems. Contact our team to discuss the technical requirements of your specific system.

What Finishes are Available for Office Lockers?

Office lockers are available in standard powder-coated steel in a wide range of colours, laminate door finishes for a more premium aesthetic, and stainless steel for high-specification environments. Laminate lockers in particular suit contemporary office interiors well — they are available in wood-effect, plain colour and textured finishes and look significantly more refined than standard steel in client-facing or reception areas. Our team can advise on the most appropriate finish for your space and budget.

How Much Space Do Office Lockers Take Up?

A standard 6-door office locker unit is typically around 300mm deep, 300mm wide and 1800mm tall, taking up less than 0.1 square metres of floor space per unit. Compact cube locker systems and lower-height units are also available for offices where floor or wall space is at a premium. Lockertek offers a free site survey service for larger installations, where our team will visit your premises to measure the space, advise on the best configuration and produce a layout plan before you commit to an order.
