Two Compartment Lockers

August 12th, 2009

As detailed in the previous post, the two compartment lockers offer the ability to store hung garments such as a pair of trousers or a jacket. In most cases, each compartment of a two compartment locker has a double coat hook mounted centrally. As per the single compartment locker, there is an option to have a hanging rail for the use of hangers in each compartment. Although the hanging rail option may be available, it is not usually a wise option as a hanging rail will use up valuable room inside the locker. As the two compartment locker does not have a shelf for the storage of personal effects, these items must be stored at the bottom of the compartment.

The two compartment locker can be supplied with either key locks or padlock style locks as standard and can also be supplied with coin operated locks, combination locks or electronic locks. Due to the size of the doors on a two compartment locker, 3 point locking mechanisms may be fitted to increase the strength of the doors. Two compartment lockers can be supplied in steel, wire mesh, laminate or wood and can be tailored to suit a wide variety of applications. The two compartment locker is ideal for when space is at a premium but also when hanging garments are required to be stored.

The single compartment locker provides the most storage space for one person. The single compartment locker is generally split into two separate compartments. The top compartment is usually about 300mm high and is ideal for the storage of personal effects, toiletries and other small items. The remaining space is for the storage of hanging garments. There is, in most cases, a double coat hook fitted to the top of the compartment, although other variations include single coat hooks mounted to the sides of the compartment or even a full width coat rail for the use of hangers. The full length door can be fitted with a variety of locking mechanisms. When using either a key lock or a hasp and staple lock, a 3-point locking mechanism may be fitted to give the door additional security and strength. The 3 point locking mechanism locks into the frame where the lock is located but also locks into the top and bottom frames via connecting rods. Single Compartment Lockers are available as a steel construction, with perforated doors, with clear doors, with wooden or laminate doors and can also be produced in wire mesh. The options are vast for the single compartment locker.

The Single compartment locker is ideal for when there is a need to accommodate full length garments such as lab coats or long jackets or overalls etc. If you are only storing half length garments such as coats or trousers or split overalls, the single compartment locker is a good choice, but does not offer the best use of space.

Compartment Lockers are the most widely used lockers and the most basic in terms of design and build. A compartment locker is simple. It is divided vertically into equally sized spaces. Each space has its own door and is uniquely accessible by a locking mechanism. Locking mechanisms are usually supplied as standard as a key lock, supplied with two keys, or a hasp and staple lock for the fitting of a padlock. Locking mechanism options will be discussed in more detail later in the Locker Selector Blog. A compartment locker can have between one and fifteen individually accessed spaces. The number of spaces in the height is referred to as compartments, but can also be called tiers or doors. So the number of total compartments is the number of lockers times by the number of compartments per locker.

Compartment Lockers are generally available with one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, ten and sixteen compartments although other compartment quantities are also possible.
