March 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Just when you thought that storage lockers are, well, boring, you realise that there are many kinds of them. This means that they are highly flexible and truly functional. What's more, depending on the design, they can add aesthetic value into your property.
Here are some of the types of storage lockers:
Wardrobe Storage Locker
These kinds of lockers are usually seen in schools, especially in sports scenarios and gymnasiums, as well as in companies where employees have to change out of their uniforms before they go home. You can easily determine if it's a wardrobe storage locker because of the presence of compartments and rods, where you can hang your clothes to avoid them from crumpling.
Most of the wardrobe lockers have wheels, so it's easy for someone to clean the floors underneath or to bring the lockers much closer to the work room of the owners. It's also ideal that they have locks and keys, which will be given to respective owners, since people often leave personal items in them for convenience.
Kids' Storage Locker
These are found in schools, particularly for small children. These lockers are convenient and easy to use inside the classroom or in corridors or specific areas. Children can just leave their bags and bring notebooks or writing materials to their desks. You can also make use of the lockers to organise children's toys, books or other belongings at home. This is especially useful if you are low on space.
Storage lockers for kids come in a variety of sizes. They can also be of different colours. This allows you to set up a colour-coded scheme for your kids. You can also make use of blank doors and walls for pictures or stickers, so youngsters have the option to create their own “wall” or designs to show their ownership of the locker.
Storage Locker for dangerous substances
You know that you need to keep flammable materials such as paint, chemicals, and hazardous liquids away from the reach of children and those who are not authorised to use such products. Moreover, you have to ensure that they are not scattered everywhere where someone can just accidentally spill them over, which may cause accidents and injuries.
You can then use specifically designed storage lockers to store flammable materials. Make sure, though, that different products are well separated inside the lockers. You can buy those that have built-in compartments within them. Locking them up ensures that no unauthorised person can get hold of them. Don't forget to label the locker properly. In a more informal situation you can perhaps just write down “Warning: Flammable Materials.” You can also label every locker or compartment based on their contents.
Bulk Storage Locker
As their name implies, these storage lockers are meant for bulky or large items that are within your premises. These could include lawnmowers, gardening tools and other equipment. How the space in large lockers is used will depend on your needs, but some consideration needs to be taken as to how to arrange heavy objects safely to prevent accidents.
