Building a brand new locker room? Renovating an existing one? Or just adding some personal storage to a public or professional space? No matter why you’re considering lockers, you need the right size and functionality for whatever you need to stash away. That is, without overcrowding or disorganizing a space.
Enter: custom locker rooms! Get exactly the right type and amount of storage while adding personality to a room and making the most of your space.
Let’s explore the types of locker room lockers, how they optimize space and which settings could use a great locker room.
Types of Locker Room Lockers
At Patterson Pope, we offer a wide variety of storage lockers for practically every purpose - from lockers for personal belongings to evidence lockers and gear storage to large storage lockers for the big stuff. We specialize in custom locker solutions to help you add convenient, secure and plentiful storage for any space you need.
When talking about locker room lockers, we generally mean temporary-storage, individual-use lockers for personal items. But some locker room lockers become the long-term home of someone’s stuff. Either way, we want your locker room to be as functional and comfortable as it can be for whoever stores their stuff there.
Here are some of the locker room lockers options:
Smart Lockers
Say goodbye to the old-school combination locks. Instead, smart lockers offer a clean, touchless experience. It’s a whole row of lockers without individual dials. Instead, there is a single touchscreen that controls the locking mechanisms for each door. You can make these lockers even more convenient by choosing a smart app integration so people can skip the shared touchscreen experience altogether.
Another essential benefit of these lockers is the added security to protect people’s belongings. Since there’s no manual opening or locking mechanism, a passerby isn’t able to access a locker not assigned to them.
Smart lockers are ideal for temporary and day-use lockers for visitors, students, employees or other users. You might also use them in an athletic or gym locker room or employee break room to promote a clean environment as we navigate this post-pandemic world.
Personal Storage Lockers
At Patterson Pope, we install Freestyle Personal Storage Lockers in spaces like public safety facilities for members of law enforcement, firefighters or other emergency responders. With these lockers, they have a space to store personal items during a shift. For example, we helped a police department design and construct multiple storage rooms in their new headquarters, including locker rooms for men and women and the SWAT room.
You can get personal storage lockers with additional accessories and features to make the most convenient and comfortable space that separates work from personal life – like opting for pull-out benches for individual use or charging ports to charge cell phones and other personal devices while locked away.
Tactical Gear Lockers
Another locker room option for law enforcement (as well as military personnel), the Tactical Readiness Locker, is specially designed to securely store all the necessary gear without slowing first responders down.
Laminate Lockers
Looking for a personal storage locker with a sophisticated look? The modular laminate locker system has individual locking controls on each door. They come in various styles, colors, and a wide selection of heights, lengths and locker depths. We commonly place these personal storage lockers in gyms, athletic and professional locker rooms and public visitor spaces.
Steel Lockers
These are the old-school lockers we all know and love. They’re sturdy, functional and compact personal storage spaces. We can install steel lockers with different locking mechanisms and ventilations for various functions. For instance, your traditional school locker has less ventilation than those in the gym or athletic locker rooms. We commonly install these lockers in K through 12 schools, university buildings, sporting facilities, gyms and community centers.
Other Settings for Locker Room Lockers
It’s not just students, gym rats and police officers who need convenient locker room storage – everybody does, now and again! Here are a few other settings where you might consider locker room lockers:
- Staff rooms: Those in healthcare, hospitality, food service and retail need a place to store personal items, work uniforms and other stuff during a shift. Instead of creating a separate locker room, you could add lockers to these common areas to better accommodate employees.
- Entertainment venues: Museums, parks and theaters are just a few entertainment spaces where visitors may want to store bulky items or items that they can’t bring with them into a venue. For instance, you could install rentable lockers for concert or theater patrons who bring purses or bags that don’t meet your safety requirements.
Patterson Pope knows how to store stuff, whether it’s a lot or a little. So, we can help you select the type, size and style of locker room lockers your space needs. Contact a specialist to learn what locker best benefits your organization’s locker room space.
