Coin Operated Lockers

Q: What are coin-operated lockers?

Coin‑operated lockers are secure storage units frequently found in gyms, schools, swimming pools, and offices. Each compartment is fitted with a coin-operated key lock that requires a £1 coin (or compatible token) to use.

Q: Are coin operated lockers safe?

Coin operated lockers provide secure storage in gyms, swimming pools and other public places. All our lockers are incredibly secure, with strong reinforced locks and welded door strengthener. The coin operated lockers are also made of steel, making them a durable solution.

Q: How can coin operated lockers be used?

Users must insert a pound coin or token into the lock, in order to secure the locker and extract a key. To reopen the coin operated locker, the user simply turns the key in the lock. The coin is then returned, and the locker opens up.

Q: Are coin operated lockers stackable?

Due to the hardwearing properties of the material of coin operated lockers, they may be stacked. However, we offer a selection of lockers with up to six doors, allowing them to seamlessly blend with your environment.

Q: Is ventilation necessary for coin operated lockers?

Coin operated lockers may need ventilation, especially if they are storing swimwear or gym clothes. Wet or damp items can cause odours and even mould, so ventilation allows the locker to breathe.

Q: Is the coin always returned to the user?

Yes - if using the standard coin return lock, the user gets their £1 coin (or compatible token) returned when the unit is unlocked with the key. However, if you'd rather retain the coin, there is an optional coin‑retain lock upgrade available.

Q: What configurations are available in this range of coin-operated lockers?

The Probe coin-operated lockers come in a range of configurations, with between 1 to 6 doors per unit. This flexibility accommodates different storage needs - whether you need single-use lockers or multiple compartments in one unit.

Q: How durable and hygienic are coin-operated lockers?

These lockers are built to last, coated with ActiveCoat™, a robust anti-bacterial powder finish designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and MRSA. They’re also kitemarked to British Standard BS 4680:1996 and Fire Zero tested and certified, giving you extra assurance in both quality and safety.

Q: Can I add a sloping top or other accessories?

Yes - sloping tops are offered as an optional upgrade. They help prevent items from being placed on top of the locker, reduce dust build-up, and make cleaning easier. These are particularly useful in environments with high hygiene standards such as healthcare or food processing settings. Coat hooks can also be added to some lockers for easy storage of clothing.

Q: Are all these coin-operated lockers made in the UK?

Yes, all Probe coin‑operated lockers are manufactured in the UK, ensuring shorter lead times, higher quality control, and traceability.
