As classrooms continue to evolve with technology, it must be ask if school lockers are still useful or even relevant. Education seems to be moving away from traditionally relying on textbooks and paper-based homework, so what do students need lockers for if they no longer need a place to store these materials? However, even if schools fully switch to electronic textbooks and other devices (such as laptops, eReaders, etc.), students still need a place to store these items, especially when they are in classes such as Physical Education, which don’t require them. Additionally, since these items are much more expensive and since they potential carry all of a student’s information, schoolwork, and class materials, lockers must be more secure than ever. There are many well-known security flaws with traditional lockers, such as that seen here. Such design flaws do not exist with our school lockers. Old style combination locks and locker doors that wear down after time are simply not acceptable anymore. Students need to be able to trust that their items are safe when they leave them in their lockers. That’s why YS Lockers is dedicated to providing the most secure, durable, and easy-to-use school lockers possible. This article will highlight some of the needs of new school lockers and explain how ours meet or even exceed those needs.
Durability
YS Lockers blends our top of the line patented technology with stylish designs to give you our ABS assembled Storage Lockers. They are a perfect choices for schools who want to provide their students with safe, environmentally friendly lockers. We use highly resistant engineering plastics and powdered phosphate steel to keep our units rust and moisture resistant.
- Our PVC plastic is recyclable, light-weight, flame-resistant, and durable.
- In our steel locker options, we use 1.0 mm cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, as well as the powdered phosphate, to maintain durability.
- Our ABS Storage Lockers are ideal for use in for school locker rooms, gyms, and pools, as they would look great and function well for an extended period of time.
- Some lockers start to wear down, look old, and depending what they are used for, smell after a few years. However, the textured surfaces on our ABS Storage Lockers are durable and perforated back plates ventilate the units, making them odor-free while also maintaining top-notch security.
- As with all of our lockers, whatever little maintenance is necessary is quick and simple, with the spare parts which we supply.
As you can see, we have plenty of options for school locker designs and materials, as they are each suited for different needs and situations. For instance, where our ABS lockers might be best for Physical Education use (since they are the most odor and moisture resistant), our steel lockers are better suited for more day-to-day general school use.

Style
YS Lockers can also brighten up your school with vibrant colors and elaborate designs. There are five different color options to choose from, which may match your school’s colors, and our Printed Film Lockers can feature any number of designs. This ability eliminates the need for drab and dreary school lockers lining the hallways. Instead, you are able to bring a bit of light and freshness to your school! As little as a difference as this may seem, it does tend to have a very positive effect on overall student morale. These also feature LED lights on the inside of each unit for visibility. All of our ABS assembled Storage Lockers come with fully adjustable shelves, which can support large loads. We have over 10 options for school locker sizes, so they can fit in any amount of allotted space while also optimizing room for storage.

School lockers go through a lot of wear and tear…
Security
We also offer over 10 different types of locking devices, including key, combination, padlock, IC card, and sef-set password operated locks. The variety is useful, as you can choose which locking system you want based on what the locker will be used for. For example, you might decide to order lockers with the classic combination locking device for students, because it’s ideal for students to not have to carry a key around with them but they can also be opened by any school staff who has the corresponding key. On the other hand, you might choose lockers with a key locking system for faculty and staff because they have a higher level of security. However, we guarantee that whichever locking system you decide on, it has been tried and tested for ultimate security. After all, student security is our main priority. As you can see, there are many factors to consider when choosing which school lockers to order.
