Essential Buying Considerations

Size and Capacity

  • Calculate staff numbers carefully—allow one compartment per employee per shift.

Security and Access

How Commercial Garment Lockers Work

Commercial garment lockers function as professional clothing storage systems with a straightforward but cleverly designed approach. Their tall, cabinet-style construction features built-in hanging rails positioned at the optimal height for full-length uniforms or staff clothing. Many models include adjustable shelving and compartments for shoes, personal belongings, or folded items. Unlike standard lockers, garment variants are wider and deeper to prevent clothing from becoming crushed, while ventilation slats promote air circulation—essential for keeping uniforms fresh between shifts. The robust locking systems, typically with individual keys or combination locks, ensure everything stays secure even in busy staff areas.
