When space is limited, every centimeter counts. Whatever you’re kitting out, a staff room, changing area, gym, school or workplace, selecting the right storage solution can make the space feel more organized and easier to use. A Sliding Door Locker is a good choice for spaces where traditional hinged locker doors may consume precious room when open.
Sliding door lockers have doors that slide from side to side (as opposed to opening outwards). This can help to make the most of your storage space and mean you can easily access your personal items.
Why Do Sliding Door Lockers Conserve Space?
Lockers with standard hinged doors – each locker requires additional clearance in front. When multiple doors are opened simultaneously, it can create a congested walkway, reducing the usable space around the storage area.
A Sliding Door Locker is different. Its doors slide on a track, so they don’t require the same clearance in front as traditional hinged doors. This makes them especially suitable for corridors, small changing rooms, offices and other areas where space is at a premium.
This means you can have less clearance in front of the locker, which can help you make better use of the available floor space without compromising access to storage.
Perfect for Small and Busy Spaces
Sliding door lockers are especially useful in high traffic areas. Schools, workplaces, sporting facilities and gyms often have to cater for large numbers of users in a small area.
Sliding doors give users access to their individual compartments without a door swinging into a walkway or interfering with nearby furniture and equipment. This can help create a cleaner, more streamlined environment in which people can move around comfortably.
They are also a good choice for changing rooms with benches, seating and other fixtures in close proximity to lockers.
Utilize Your Available Space More Effectively
Before choosing any locker system, it is important to consider the size and layout of the area. A good storage solution can help you make the most of your walls and available floor space.
The selection of a sliding door locker depends on the number of compartments you need, the locker’s overall size, the intended users and the space where you plan to install it. You should also think about how often the lockers will be used, and if the layout needs to accommodate busy periods.
Considering these factors will help you select a locker layout that offers practical storage without giving a feeling of the surrounding space bursting at the seams.
