Choosing the best material for lockers can be difficult. Robustness, aesthetics and security are all key considerations when selecting the right locker to meet your needs and requirements. In this blog, our security expert Anthony Neary shares all the information around metal, plastic, wood and wire mesh lockers that you need to make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal lockers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal is the most traditional material for lockers. The durable nature of metal lockers makes them ideal for environments where they will endure frequent usage like schools, gyms and offices. They also offer high security due to their strong construction, perfect for protecting against theft and vandalism. For this reason, metal lockers are usually used to store high-value items, taking the form of Laptop Lockers<\/a>, Personal and Mobile Phone Lockers<\/a> and Luggage Lockers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic lockers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plastic lockers are often used when a secure, lightweight solution is needed. The agile nature of these lockers means that they can be carried around, useful for storing items like medicine. Plastic lockers are also very resistant to corrosion and moisture, allowing them to be exposed to humidity and chemicals. Plastic lockers give a good amount of security as, if made of polycarbonate, they can\u2019t be shattered. In addition, some Anti-Theft Lockers<\/a> use clear plastic doors as a deterrent against theft. View all our products: Plastic Lockers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood lockers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wood lockers are usually chosen for environments where aesthetics is high priority, like golf clubs and spas. The way that wood lockers naturally blend with their surroundings, opposed to metal lockers which stand out more, could allow them to be overlooked by thieves. In addition, the nature of the wood gives the lockers a level of robustness, but they must be kept in a controlled dry environment to stand the test of time.

Wire mesh lockers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wire mesh lockers are useful for storage that needs ventilation and visibility. The interior of the locker can be seen, preventing theft in places like warehouses. The durable material of these lockers means that they are difficult to break into, but they are not suitable for storing high-value items due to their open design. The ventilating properties of the lockers means they can keep items dry and odour-free, useful for sport equipment and work gear. Wire mesh lockers are also quite lightweight, allowing them to be moved around. Find out more: Wire Mesh Lockers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, the best material for lockers depends on your needs and the environment they will be in. Metal lockers are best for durability and security, plastic lockers protect against moisture and chemicals, wood lockers add style, and wire mesh lockers give ventilation and visibility.
