Many are going with stainless steel lockers in a variety of different settings today, but are they a good option for you? Explore the benefits of this locker material.

Damage Resistant: In many environments, lockers are subject to high levels of use and, sometimes, abuse. Stainless steel choices, though, give you the durability you need to ensure your lockers look good year after year.
Corrosion-Resistant: Metal is usually susceptible to rust, but stainless steel is different, even in high moisture areas like locker rooms or kitchens. This remarkable resistances means you get a beautiful set of lockers, no matter what the environment around them.
Fire-Resistant: Just as stainless steel can resist damage and corrosion, it can often hold its own for some time against a fire, so despite the heat and intensity of the flames, you’ll get great performance from your new lockers.

So, you know that your company or school will need lockers, but have you considered many seemingly nitpicking variables such as exact locker dimensions, minimum level of locker security required by the surrounding environment, and minimum durability required for your purposes? Luckily, Carroll Seating has specialists waiting to assist you in making the best possible decision for your company in regards to all of these factors and many more!

The Process
First, our professionals will assist you in attaining an idea of exactly what dimensions each locker will have to be. Then, they will assist you in picking out colors that match the aesthetics of the lockers’ potential surroundings. Using casework skills, they will help ensure you get the most spacious and durable lockers for the best price possible, assisting you in keeping within the allotted budget.

Customization
Perhaps one of the most unique features you may take advantage of when purchasing lockers from our company is the large latitude you are given for customization of the lockers for your budget, aesthetics, or both. For example, you will first have the choice of purchasing a group of new lockers, or a group of used lockers (which are still always pre-certified by us before selling).

Once you have made that primary decision, you will be allowed to choose the type and weight of the metal used to initially construct the locker. Additionally, you will have a say in the color, lock type, and general dimensions. These will all be compared with the initial casework done in order to ensure that it will all fit both physically and with the surroundings.

Immense Catalog
While Carroll Seating offers friendly, fast, and accurate services and high quality, premium furnishing, it also offers a much larger catalog of lockers to choose from than most of its competitors. While most competitors only offer very limited sizes, colors, types, lock security, and additional small factors that may play an important role in your environment, Carroll Seating’s mission is to provide you with exactly what you would like to have in your locker arrangement.

Finally, if you need to install lockers, please contact us by phone or email before making any large decisions. The last thing you want to do is rush a decision without knowing many factors and then being disappointed in a mediocre result. With us, you are guaranteed to have each factor done the way you want it done!

Schools of the 20th Century
The traditional approach to learning was based on the industrial model of teaching. What does this mean? This meant that space was arranged linearly, teaching was done from the front of the room, and students were taught things in order to occupy jobs in an industrial based economy. Learning was predominately passive. As we continue to educate and prepare our students in the 21st century, most schools have not changed to reflect and accommodate how today’s students interact and learn.

Where Schools need to be in the 21st century
We are living in a very different world and schools are populated by a very different student. Today’s students are conversing through email and texts, using the internet as their news forum, and communicating with students residing other states and countries via Skype. School’s need to create learning spaces to support the new generation of students. Spaces that elicit social learning in lieu of passive learning. Because, active learning is how our students of today better themselves as capable members of a team and community.

How can this be done
Take your stationary classroom and make it mobile. Adding casters and power to desks and chairs takes the traditional linear classroom into a flexible learning space accommodating all different learning styles and course topics. Lightweight mobile classroom furniture allow quick transitions from row to circle to curved layouts. Elicit socialized learning within the cafeteria. Rid your students of institutionalized rows of tables. Round tables, high tops and booths bring active learning to the cafeteria. Provide school logos on table tops and trash receptacles promoting school pride and a continued sense of school community. New chemistry lab tables, lockers, bleachers, and more can do more than just replace old fixtures. They too can help to rejuvenate a school. Kids will get a kick out of seeing bold new lockers the colors of their school, or when telescoping bleachers are retracted they spell out the name of their mascot. There are a lot of possibilities available, and both kids and teachers will be proud and delighted at a fresh look.

Ready to Help, All The Time
There are times when not every school may have the immediate funds for a lot of renovation, and we understand that. That’s why we work with a quality financing company that may be able to help the process along. Our skilled technicians and staff are ready to help make a school’s renovation a reality so that kids and teachers alike can develop in an environment fit for the 21st century. Contact us and see how we can transition your space!
