 Tips for Choosing School Lockers
What Type of Locker

What will the locker hold? Where in the school building is the locker located? The space available for lockers is critical. For example, hallway lockers are different than gym lockers and music lockers. Gym lockers are usually smaller than hallway lockers. They need plenty of ventilation.

Locker Layout and Design

You will hear the term " Tiers " when considering locker sizes. Lockers sizes range from 1 to 6 tiers. A one-tier locker is slender-n-tall. Typically, these 1 tier lockers are used for school hallways. They are ideal for storing long coats. Two tier lockers are used for jackets or storing books, etc. You get the idea! The more tiers you have, the smaller the space inside the locker. Take into consideration the students height. We wouldn't want their locker to be taller than them.

Lockers are one-wide or three-wide. It's rarely easy to figure the number of units needed for the availability. Experts can help you .

Locker handles have their own unique benefit. Consider 3 types: recessed, pull, and lift. All 3 can be locked in the traditional way.. Recessed handles are the most secure. There is nothing for a vandal to kick off, with a recessed locker. The most standard is the door pull handle on a locker. I can't think of an easier way to attach a padlock. The lift handle provides the quickest access to contents and is popular.

Locker Accessories

The last thing to consider when purchasing new lockers is locker accessories. Below is a list of accessories you may want to consider.

• Legs - Lockers can be purchased with legs or without them.

• Slope top panel - Lockers come with a flat top. Can you picture the dust? Hence the advantage of the slope top.

• Front and side bases - These panels enclose the space between the legs of the lockers on the front and at the end of a row.
