Lockers

Door count matters more than you might think. A single-door locker suits a site office or manager's room where one person controls access. Two-door and four-door units split storage between users without taking up much more floor space — useful in shared workshops or changing areas where each fitter or mechanic needs their own lockable compartment. All doors in a multi-door locker typically key differently, so one unit can serve multiple people without handing out a master key.

Ventilation slots are standard across most models. They prevent damp and odour build-up when you're storing sweaty gloves, boots, or work clothing overnight. If you're putting away clean tools or electronics, that airflow is less critical, but it won't hurt. Cam locks are simple but effective — rotating barrel mechanism, two keys per door. If you need higher security, you can swap the cam lock for a padlock hasp, though few workshop lockers come with that option out of the box.

Check the internal height before you buy. Tall boots, long-handled tools, or a full welding jacket need more vertical clearance than a standard four-compartment locker provides. Single-door and two-door units usually offer full-height space; four-door models divide that height in half. Shelf options vary by model — some include a top shelf, others leave the interior open so you can fit bulkier kit.
