Lockers – they’re as much a part of the middle and high school as textbooks and teachers. These days, it seems there are so many different locker choices available that it can be tough to choose the right ones to meet the needs of your school. Many facilities, though, are sticking with the traditional steel school lockers, and for good reason. Take a look at the advantages.

Durability: Few materials choices beat steel when it comes to locker materials. Carefully welded and reinforced, all of your steel lockers are built strong with 16 gauge steel doors designed to ensure they last year after year. Whether you’re installing them in the locker room or throughout the building, they’ll be able to take the tough use students so often dish out.
Color Choice: Fortunately, steel lockers don’t have to be the color of steel. Instead, we create choices made for any color scheme. Whether you want to go with something that matches your school colors or you want various color schemes to meet the needs of given areas of your building, we can help you find the right choice for your facility.
Configuration Options: In some cases, a single tier setting is perfect for your space. In other situations, though, you may need to go with multiple tiers to help meet the space requirements of a given facility. No matter how much space you have (or you don’t have), we can help you find the perfect choice.

As you shop for the ideal school lockers to meet your needs, be sure to contact us. We offer some of the best choices available today, and we’ll help you spot lockers that work well for your student population and your bottom line. Give us a call today to learn more about how we can help.

Lockers aren’t a luxury; they’re a necessity. Whether it’s at the gym, at school or on the job, you need a safe and secure spot to stash your gear. The size, shape and style may vary but all lockers do the same job and they need to do it well. Here are some of the features you should look for in a good quality locker.

Materials

Valuables can’t really be safe if they’re stored in a flimsy box. Pick a brand of locker like DeBourgh that uses only the best materials. Steel is so strong it’s nearly tamper-proof!

These durable and secure lockers are a great choice no matter where they’re installed. They work well at health clubs and gym so that wallets stay where they belong. School books and personal items won’t go home in the wrong backpack with a steel locker. They’re secure enough to be used in firehouse and even police stations.

Sizes

Don’t think every lock is built the same. You can create a custom storage space for personal items, equipment, supplies or any other use you can think up with DeBourgh steel lockers. You can choose from a range of sizes and configurations. DeBourgh offers sizes from 12 to 24 inches wide with depths of 12 to 24 inches and heights from 12 all the way to 72 inches tall. You’re sure to find a configuration that suits your space.

Styles

Your basic middle school locker is only one of the many locker styles DeBourgh offers. The brand covers just about anything you need for a school corridor but they have so many other options to see. From schools and athletic teams to professional uses, there’s a locker for every need.

In addition to the familiar corridor style, they also have specialty lockers like first responder models with a wider stance and boot storage. Evidence lockers keep important items secure and the heavy-duty TA-50 is the choice of government agencies and the military.

No matter what you need to secure, DeBourgh has a locker to keep it safe. For more information visit Carroll Seating today.

These days, no two locker rooms are alike. Whether you’re in a high-end club setting or middle school, athletic locker rooms are changing fast, and with them, the types of lockers available to those who need them. Wondering which lockers might best meet your needs? Take these factors into account first.

Space Concerns: One of the first things you want to consider is how much space you have. In some cases, your space for the locker room will be quite limited, and that can not only affect where you put the lockers, but also the size and type of lockers you choose to use. Keep in mind that you’ll want to create a solid traffic flow around the lockers as well as a sense of privacy for those using the lockers to change, so be careful as you begin to think about where you may want to place your lockers.

Locker Size: There are three basic locker sizes: mini, half, and standard. Mini lockers are perfect for keys, a folded set of clothes, and maybe a set of court shoes, but not much else. Half lockers give you slightly better sizing, but they’re still small enough to wrinkle the bottom of a man’s shirt. Standard sized lockers are perfect for that suit, but they also typically mean a lot of wasted space. Carefully consider the facility and the needs of its patrons. High school kids may only need half lockers, but those in a commercial gym facility may need mixed sizes.

Locker Materials: Athletic lockers hardly have to be the standard metal ventilated type these days. You can go with stadium style lockers, open front lockers for gear, or even lockers with a wood laminate paneling look to enhance your dressing rooms. Depending on exactly who your facility serves, you may want to go with something that reflects your wants and needs.

There are a number of factors to consider as you plan the ideal athletic locker room. Your best bet is to chat with a project manager before you make any final decisions.
