A locker is a storage box or compartment that has a lock and is used
to store clothing, books, gym equipment, etc. In most schools there are
lockers located in the halls for students to store their books, and there
are lockers in the gym area to store sports wear and equipment. A room
full of lockers is known as a “locker room.”
A locker can also be a refrigerated cabinet or room for stocking frozen
foods or an insulated area for equipment. In the digital and information
technology world lockers denote virtual storage places for files, web
pages and other data.
Years ago, a locker was a steel compartment locked with steel a steel
gadget that was either opened by aligning numbers to a set code or with
a key. Times have changed and so have lockers. They can now be custom
designed to meet the needs of students, athletes, and health care workers.
There are so many lockers to choose from, it is a good idea to do your
homework before buying one. You need to know what features and accessories
go with the type of business you are supplying in order to save time
and money. One of the first things to consider is the size of the lockers
that you need. How many lockers do you need, and what will be stored
in them? Most lockers come in a standard size and are made of steel.
Most lockers that are ordered are pre-assembled or “knock-down.” “Knock-down” lockers
usually require assembly, whereas pre-assembled lockers are welded and
can be easily set up.
If you're in charge of maintenance at your company, and you need to
purchase lockers – by all means, if you don't know much about them, talk
to an expert. Consulting with a locker manufacturer will definitely save
you time and money.
