Lockers are one of those purchases that rewards getting right first time. The wrong size, the wrong lock, the wrong configuration and a changing room that should work doesn't. We stock over 170 models across every format: full-height clothes lockers, mesh lockers, Z-lockers, compartment units, and personal effects lockers for smaller items. Whether you're fitting out a gym, a staff room, a warehouse welfare facility, or a school corridor, the right locker is in here.
Choosing the right locker depends on what's going inside. Full uniforms and coats require standard clothes or gym lockers. If space is tight, Z-lockers offer double the storage in the same footprint. If you need to see what’s inside for security or need maximum airflow for damp gear, go with mesh lockers. For small items like wallets and phones, personal effects lockers work best. If you're still unsure which locker suits your space, read our helpful blog on choosing the right locker solution.
Gym lockers and staff room lockers are broadly the same product. The steel is the same; what changes is the lock. An office tends to want cylinder locks. A logistics firm often prefers hasp locks so employees bring their own padlock. A hospital usually goes for combination locks to avoid key management entirely. Our clothes locker range serves all three - full height, all-welded steel, backed by a seven-year guarantee.
It's also worth knowing that under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers who require staff to change into work clothing on site must provide suitable personal storage. A full-height metal locker meets that requirement directly.
Standard industrial lockers - full-height, all-welded steel, built for daily heavy use in warehouses, depots, and manufacturing welfare facilities.
PPE lockers - designed for storing personal protective equipment separately from personal items. Typically used alongside standard lockers: one for work kit, one for personal items.
Multi-compartment lockers - where floor space is limited and headcount is high, multi-compartment lockers give you more users per metre of wall than full-height single-door lockers. A common setup in logistics hubs and assembly facilities where shift workers rotate through the same welfare area.
Mesh lockers - open wire construction instead of solid steel panels, so air circulates freely through the compartment. The practical benefit is that damp workwear, PPE and safety boots dry overnight rather than sitting sealed until the next shift. Contents are also visible without opening each door, which suits welfare facilities and sites where a quick visual check is part of daily operations.
School lockers have requirements that general workplace models don't always cover. Durability for daily student use, built-in shelving to keep books and bags organised, and - particularly for primary and secondary corridors - colour options that give schools the flexibility to differentiate by year group or house.
Full-height, all-welded steel, with a clothes rail, hat shelf, and ventilation slots as standard. Bench-seat lockers integrate seating directly beneath the locker bank, which keeps the floor clear and removes the need for separate changing room benches.
Browse our locker accessories before you finalise your order - locks, shelves, shoe racks, sloping tops, number labels, bench seats. It's considerably easier to specify these at the planning stage than retrofit them once the lockers are installed.
Choosing the right lockers comes down to how your space works day to day. Think about who will use them, what they’ll store, and how often they’ll be accessed.
If you’re unsure, our AJ team is here to guide you. Whether you need employee lockers for a growing team or industrial lockers for a demanding site, we’ll help you create a setup that feels right, practical, secure, and built to last.
Most AJ Products lockers are supplied without a fixed lock as standard, giving you the flexibility to choose the locking option that best suits your needs. You can select from options like key-operated locks, code locks or hasp locks, which let users attach their own padlock. Some wire mesh lockers are also available without doors and therefore do not include any lock mechanism.
Locker sizes vary depending on the model and number of compartments. Heights generally range from around 1 metre to over 2 metres. You can choose units with just a few compartments — ideal for changing rooms or small spaces — or go for multi-compartment models that house up to 40 sections, which are perfect for larger teams or public areas.
We offer lockers designed for a range of purposes. These include tall gym-style lockers for clothing and bags, compact compartment lockers for valuables and small items, mesh lockers for ventilated storage in industrial settings, and bench-integrated lockers for changing rooms. There are also cube-style lockers that can be stacked or wall-mounted to fit tighter spaces. Browse our wide range of changing room and gym lockers for organised storage today!
That depends on your environment and what you need to store. For offices or schools, multi-compartment lockers are a practical choice for keeping personal items secure. In industrial or warehouse settings, mesh lockers are ideal for storing gear that needs to air out. If you’re furnishing a changing room, consider full-height lockers with integrated benches to provide both storage and seating.
Steel has been the commercial standard for lockers for decades because nothing else holds up under sustained daily use at the same price point. The all-welded frames in our CLASSIC metal locker range don't work loose at the joints the way bolted-together alternatives tend to around the eighteen-month mark. The powder-coated finish shrugs off the scratches and daily wipe-downs without losing its finish.
We fit door stops and rubber dampeners as standard. Forty metal locker doors opening and closing through every shift adds up to a noise level that's worth managing. The whole range carries a seven-year guarantee.
Most of our lockers arrive fully assembled - welded in the factory and ready to install straight out of the box. The exception is the CLICK flatpack locker, which is delivered flat-packed and is straightforward to assemble.
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers who require workers to change into work clothing on site must provide suitable changing facilities and storage for personal items. In practice, this means a lockable metal locker or equivalent. For workplaces where employees arrive in their own clothes and change into a uniform - catering, healthcare, logistics, retail - this is a legal requirement.
The standard calculation for shift-based workplaces is lockers per peak headcount, not total headcount. If your busiest shift has 40 people on site simultaneously, you need at least 40 lockers - more if breaks are staggered and some staff overlap. For workplaces where lockers are shared between shifts (same locker, emptied at end of shift), the calculation changes; you only need enough for the largest single shift. If that model suits your setup, combination locks or hasp locks work better than keyed cylinder locks for obvious reasons.
