There are many aspects to consider if we want to install lockers for gym or school use. There are pros and cons for both type of metal locker and wood lockers for school, gym or anywhere appropriate.
Normally school lockers should be heavy duty as kids always rough with it. They smashed the locker door and banging on it frequently. This is why metal locker is more relevant for installation, rather than wood lockers.
For gym lockers, it is good to provide vented lockers, as normally people will store wet clothes or towel inside. Vented lockers will allow fresh air coming in and reduce bad smell from inside the lockers. Wood or metal won’t be a problem, as long as they fit the space and easy to maintain.
Opinion is, we can’t simply install lockers base on our interest only but also need to consider the users and type of usage. This is to make sure the locker’s durability is longer and efficient. Make sure you choose the right type before make an order.
I see what you're saying, however, I've been to 3 dif schools in my youth non of them wooden lockers (which might have been better to have for cloths).
ReplyDeleteI assume that's the school's way of saying "look we don't want to take any chances, wooden locks don't seem as safe as metal ones". Plus I assume they're cheaper as well, it's sad that it has to be this way.
Anyway nice article. Thanks for sharing.
