It is important to have a place where students can keep all of their stuff throughout the school day. This space needs to be both accessible and secure so items can be retrieved easily and nobody will be worried about others accessing their possessions without permission. School lockers ensure that students don't have to strain their backs lugging valuables around all day.

Steel lockers aren't just helpful during the day, they come in handy after hours as well. Rather than having to carry all heavy school books back and forth from home each day or leaving them out in the open, kids can leave anything they don't need at home in personal lockers overnight. Additionally, individual storage spaces make halls less crowded because people aren't carrying around bulky items all the time.

School hallways aren't the only place where lockers are needed. Student athletes require special places for all of their sports equipment. A typical school locker is just not big enough to fit bulky items such as football pads and hockey sticks. In order to ensure that your players have all of their equipment when it is needed, it is a good idea to purchase athletic lockers.

Sports lockers come in a variety of styles and have a large open design that accommodates anything from hockey sticks to wrestling pads and beyond. A hanging space keeps uniforms in great condition, so your team looks impressive when they take the floor or field. It is also convenient to have a lock box so athletes can keep their heads in the game rather than worrying about their personal belongings.

Athletic lockers are helpful for big and bulky items, but not all players require such a large space. In order to provide a high volume of lockers while ensuring that everyone has the space they need, you will want to get some smaller sports lockers as well. Double- or triple-tier lockers provide enough space for PE uniforms, sneakers and basic personal items. When every student has a place to keep these things, it is less likely that they will forget them when there is a game, practice or gym class.

While single-tier lockers undoubtedly provide the most space per person, large schools will probably not have enough room in the hallways for each student to have such a spacious steel locker. Double-tier lockers still offer enough space for backpacks, lunches and books, but twice as many can fit in the same area. Triple- and six-tier lockers are ideal for a teachers room or staff lounge. They enable employees to keep valuables, or any items they just want to have on hand, in the place of employment.

No matter where you choose to put your lockers or who is using them, color is an important consideration. Hallowell lockers are available in a choice of hues, so they can be coordinated with hallway, locker room or staff lounge colors. Alternatively, you can order a number of different hues to color-code hallways according to grade.

Hallowell lockers are great for schools and businesses. Tough steel lockers make great school, athletic or storage lockers. They are individually-locking so each person can secure their belongings. Figuring out how to arrange lockers and exactly how many are needed can be quite challenging.
