When they are used in green school designs, they are subject to the scrutiny of additional requirements including material usage choices and contributions to indoor air quality. The traditional selections of metal and wood lockers are now being supplemented by products made out of high-density compact laminate.
Locker structure
Consider the actual storage space needed within the locker itself. Locker sizes are defined by tiers, meaning different levels are stacked vertically on top of one another. Lockers can be purchased in sizes of from one to six tiers. A one-tier locker is tall and slender, and is ideal for the school hallway or classroom where students need to hang long coats and scarves during the winter. A two-tier locker works if students are hanging shorter school uniform items, and are storing books and papers. Hooks can be placed on the inside of the door to hang clothing on. The more tiers you have, the smaller the storage space inside the locker. There are two structures of Jialifu lockers for your choice. Both of them work well with their own feature and advantages.

Most importantly, lockers with ventilation not only can keep outer panels dry, but also can keep inner room clean. Below is a list of accessories you may want to consider.
1.Legs
Lockers can be purchased with or without legs. Without legs, they sit flush on the floor. With legs, there’s open space between the locker and the floor. To meet the needs from the customers that the site they place the locker is rugged, Jialifu has created the adjustable supporting feet which can help customers with the above mentioned situation and the setting range is within 20mm. All the supporting feet are made of high grade 304 stainless steel steel which can bear with the heavy load from the locker and not easy rust.

3.Front and side bases
If you purchase lockers with legs, you might want to consider front and side base accessories. These panels enclose the space between the legs of the lockers on the front and side (at the end of a row of lockers). This prevents interesting rubbish from accumulating underneath the lockers.
4. Locker lock
Locks certain lockers, depending on the type of latch channel it has, require a certain type of lock for your school locker, but you can put most locks on most lockers. However make sure you are getting the right type of lock for the latch channel that you have.
