Vintage Lockers

Q: What are vintage lockers?

Vintage lockers are retro-style storage units inspired by traditional school and gym lockers from the mid-19th century. They are often in pastel colour shades, combining nostalgic elements like name holders with practical features such as air vents. Vintage lockers are often paired with a retro locker stand to complete the aesthetic, which we are able to add to your order.

Q: What are vintage lockers made from?

Vintage lockers are traditionally manufactured from metal. Steel is a material that has been used to create lockers for decades, valued for its durable properties. Metal surfaces can also be easily coloured, allowing for the pastel finish that coats most retro lockers.

Q: Are vintage lockers safe?

Yes, vintage lockers are incredibly secure. They are usually crafted from steel, a hard-wearing material that can protect items against vandalism and theft. Each locker is fitted with a lock, which can only be accessed by the locker user with a key.

Q: Where are vintage lockers used?

Vintage lockers are highly versatile and can be used in various settings throughout the home or in commercial environments. In residential spaces, they're popular in entryways for storing shoes and coats, or home offices for documents and supplies. In retail stores, studios, or gyms, they offer secure and stylish storage solutions. Their compact footprint and bold design make them suitable even for small spaces where both storage and style are important.

Q: Do vintage lockers come preassembled?

Most vintage lockers are supplied flat-packed for easier delivery and handling, particularly when made from metal or steel materials. Assembly is typically straightforward and requires only basic tools. The panels are designed to slot together securely, and products come with step-by-step instructions. We also offer assembly by our professionals for an extra cost.

Q: Are vintage lockers just for decoration, or are they practical too?

Vintage lockers are both stylish and functional. While they add a nostalgic or industrial design element to your space, they also provide secure and structured storage. Many models include adjustable shelves, lockable doors, and ventilation, making them ideal for everyday use in entryways, offices, or gyms.

Q: Can I use vintage lockers in small spaces?

Yes! Many vintage lockers are designed with small-space living in mind. Many of our lockers are tall but narrow, fitting neatly in hallways or beside desks. They offer vertical storage without taking up much floor space, making them ideal for apartments or compact homes.

Q: Can vintage lockers be used in commercial spaces like shops or gyms?

Yes, many vintage lockers are suitable for light commercial use in shops, salons, creative studios, and boutique gyms. They add visual interest to your space while providing functional storage for staff or customers. Be sure to check the product's durability rating if you plan to use it in a high-traffic setting.

Q: Do vintage lockers come in different colours and finishes?

Definitely. One of the main appeals of vintage lockers is their wide range of colours - from bold shades like yellow or mint to soft pastels like grey and pink. These can be used to match a range of spaces.
