When a lot of employers think of lockers, schools and gyms come to mind. But workplace lockers for employees have become more and more common in recent years. Since employees have a dedicated space for their belongings, you’ll have a more organized and clutter-free workplace. This in turn will promote productivity.

As technology quickly advances, it has become more essential than ever that employees have a secure place to keep cell phones, laptops, tablets, and other valuable items. Attractive lockers can also add to the décor of your workplace. Lockers give employees a feeling of control over their space as well, and a sense of belonging at work.

Salsbury Industries carries a complete line of quality employee lockers for your workplace. These products are available for use in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, offices, retail locations, and other locations where employees can store their belongings. Here are six essential workplace lockers every company can use.

See-Through Metal Lockers

Salsbury Industries’ see-through metal lockers feature a polycarbonate see-through door panel that provides maximum visibility. This visibility is ideal for settings with higher security needs. This way authorized personnel or management can inspect a locker’s contents without having to access them. These lockers meet a growing need in retail, industrial, recreational, office, and restaurant facilities where view of the locker contents is desired. See-through metal lockers will make your employees feel safe and secure.

These spacious lockers are made of 16 gauge steel and come in a tan, gray, or blue powder coated finish. They are available in 12” or 15” widths. 12” wide lockers come in 5 and 6 feet heights and 12”, 15”, and 18” depths. 15” wide lockers are available in 6 feet heights and 15” or 18” depths. 12” wide lockers come in single tier, double tier, triple tier, four tier, or box style while 15” wide ones are available in single tier, double tier, triple tier, and four tier styles. Customizable options include sloping hoods, finished end panels, front bases, end bases, compartment shelves, fillers, engraved name/number plates, and lockers without legs.

That way they will be able to be more productive without worrying that their phones and other small valuables might be stolen. Products are available for use in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, offices, retail locations, and other locations where workers can store their belongings.

These lockers can be placed in employee break rooms and changing areas.

Cell phone lockers are also available as a free standing unit if you purchase an enclosure paired with a recessed mounted unit.

These lockers come in aluminum, bronze, and sandstone. They have many customizable options including enclosures, pedestals, door slots, keyed locks, combination locks, resettable locks, and door identification.
