What are school lockers?

School lockers are personal storage units typically found in schools, colleges, and other educational settings. They’re used by students to safely store their books, bags, coats, PE kits, and other personal items throughout the day. Lockers help keep classrooms clutter-free and give students a secure space to keep their belongings. They come in a range of sizes, colours, and materials, and often have locks or combination systems to keep everything safe.

What size lockers are best for schools?

The best locker size for schools depends on the age of the students and how much storage they need. Low-height lockers, usually between 900mm and 1500mm tall, are perfect for younger children in primary schools as they’re easy to access and safe to use. For older students in secondary schools and colleges, full-height lockers (typically around 1800mm tall) offer more space for books, bags, and PE kits. You can also choose between single-door lockers for maximum storage or multi-door options—like two, three, or four compartments—to save space and provide access for more students in a compact area.

Are your school lockers suitable for primary and high schools?

Yes, our school lockers are designed to suit both primary and high schools. We offer a range of sizes and configurations, including low-height options for younger pupils and full-height lockers for older students who need more storage space. Whether it’s for coats, bags, books, or PE kits, we’ve got a locker solution to fit every school’s needs.

What materials are school lockers made from?

School lockers are typically made from steel, laminate, or plastic. Steel lockers are the most common, offering durability and strength for everyday use. Laminate lockers provide a modern look and are resistant to scratches and dents, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Plastic lockers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and perfect for humid environments like swimming pools or changing rooms. Each material has its own benefits depending on the setting and how the lockers will be used.

Do school lockers come with locks?

Yes, school lockers do come with locks. We typically offer cam locks with 2 keys or hasp locks (for use with padlocks) free of charge when selected. If you’re after something more advanced, we also offer mechanical combination locks, electronic locks, RFID access, and coin-operated locks—these are available at an additional cost per door. This way, you can choose the locking option that best suits your school’s needs and security preferences.

Can we customise school lockers with our logo or branding?

Yes, custom branding is possible! We can add your school’s logo or colours to the lockers as a bespoke extra. Since this is a tailored service, it would need to be quoted separately based on your specific requirements. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll be happy to help bring your vision to life.

Do you offer installation for school lockers?

Yes, we offer a professional installation service for orders of 10 or more lockers, helping keep things cost-effective. Installation is ideal during school holidays or half terms, so everything is ready for students to use when they return. If installation takes place during term time, rest assured—our installers are DBS checked for working safely around children.
