Single, Double, and Triple Tier Lockers

Most lockers are priced by the frame, the steel unit that holds the doors. The tier count is the number of doors stacked in a frame, and every door is one person’s locker. Together, the frame and the tier count set how many people each row of lockers serves. Common frame widths are 12, 15, and 18 inches. More tiers place more people on the same wall, with less space behind each door.

Single Tier

1door per frame

One full-length opening

Space to hang uniforms and coats, with a shelf at the top and coat hooks. Lockers deeper than 18 inches also include a coat rod.

Double Tier

2doors per frame

60 or 72 inches tall

An opening holds a coat and a bag, books, a phone, or a wallet. Double tier holds twice as many people as single tier in the same floor space.

Triple Tier

3doors per frame

72 inches tall

Three stacked openings, each with coat hooks and prepared for several types of lock.

For a denser row, the 16-person locker holds 16 box lockers in 69 inches of floor space and includes a 45-inch coat rod. The Zephyr Breeze is a portable kiosk, 36 inches wide and 72 inches tall, with 27 lockers in 3 sizes. It connects to a standard 120V outlet and opens by facial recognition that operates offline.

Assembly and Installation

Lockers ship in one of three ways. The lowest-cost method leaves the most assembly work at the site.

Shipping methodDetails
Knocked downShipped flat and unassembled, for assembly at the site. Penco’s QuickShip program ships common sizes in approximately 3 days. Where the site staff have not assembled lockers before, an installer should do the assembly.
Factory assembledAssembled at the factory or at a third-party shop, which saves time and floor space at the site but raises the freight and the total cost. Assembled QuickShip lockers ship in approximately 5 working days.
All-weldedAll parts are welded into one rigid unit for heavy or abusive use. The lockers ship assembled. This is the highest-cost method.

Knocked-down lockers are assembled with nuts and bolts or with rivets. Bolted lockers can be disassembled if the room is rearranged later. Riveted lockers are much faster to assemble, but they are semi-permanent.

We have our own team of installers on staff. They work on small local projects every day, such as 10 or 12 bays of pallet rack, six sections of shelving, or a few lockers.

Bases, Sloped Tops, Fillers, and Locks

Standard lockers include 6-inch legs and a flat top. The accessories below close the gaps around a row, keep items off the top, and keep dirt out from below. Locker accessories

Bases

A base closes the opening between the legs, so dirt does not collect under the lockers. Lockers without legs are set on a continuous zee base, or on a wood or concrete base built on site. Raised lockers are easier to reach than lockers set on the floor.

Sloped Tops

A sloped top sheds dust and prevents bags from being stored on top of the row. Sloped tops are available per locker, in kits of 3 or more, or as one continuous piece.

Fillers

Fillers of 20-gauge steel cover a column or pipe in the locker row, or the gap between the last locker and the wall.

Locks

Built-in combination, keyed, digital, or coin-operated locks, or a padlock supplied by the user. Built-in combinations can be reset when lockers are reassigned.

Case Study

Staff Lockers for a Hospital Renovation

A regional hospital in North Carolina contracted us to design, furnish, and install its staff lockers during a 200,000 square foot renovation. The room designs changed during construction, and we did not receive the changes in advance. Before installation, our specialist visited the site to confirm that the rooms were ready and to verify every measurement.

The original locker layout no longer fit. Our specialist measured the rooms again and redrew the layout, and the hospital approved it. The new layout required parts that were not in the original order and could not be manufactured in time, so our production and installation crew fabricated them. The hospital also requested the rooms two weeks before the original deadline, and the crew completed the work so that the hospital could begin to use the rooms without delay. Read the case study

Locker Questions

Are employers required to provide lockers?
When an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard requires employees to wear protective clothing, the employer must provide a change area with storage for street clothes. When safety rules require employees to remove jewelry or leave phones behind, a lockable space should be provided. Staff with an assigned desk may not need a locker.
How is a locker priced?
Usually per frame, so six units of lockers are six frames. Some manufacturers sell frames in groups of 2 or 3 at one price.
How many lockers should be planned?
Plan for more people than the current staff, because locker rooms and break rooms are usually undersized. Warehouse space planning checklist
What colors and steel gauges are available?
Penco offers 24 colors, and QuickShip sizes are available in gray or champagne. A lower gauge number indicates thicker steel. The doors and frames of the single, double, and triple tier lockers are 16-gauge steel.
Are locker room benches available?
Yes. Penco locker room benches are 36 to 144 inches long, with laminated maple-colored seats on steel pedestals. They can be freestanding or anchored to the floor, and sizes that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are available. Locker room benches
Are athletic and first responder lockers available?
Yes. Athletic lockers have additional ventilation. Stadium lockers are open at the front, with a foot locker at the bottom that also serves as a bench. First responder lockers are sized for large duffels, bags, and backpacks.
Is there a catalog?
Yes. The Penco locker catalog lists each size and accessory. The Vanguard sheet covers Penco’s Vanguard lockers, the knocked-down line that supplies most QuickShip sizes.
