Locker Hardware Versus Locker Body Parts

Locker hardware items consist of such things as handles, lock bars and lock bar components, coat hooks, lock hole fillers, number plates, nuts and bolts. These parts are readily available for even the most obscure or obsolete lockers (check out the "locker parts home" link to the right).


On the other hand, body parts include all of the sheet metal of a locker, i.e., doors, sides, backs, tops, bottoms, shelves. Generally, only current body parts are available from most manufacturers and dealers. Older parts, obsolete parts, or parts for lockers from now defunct manufacturers are--for the most part--simply not available. What's a "body" to do?

Fortunately, most current body parts manufactured by any manufacturer can be used in just about any locker--past or present--regardless of manufacturer. However, generally some drilling may need to be done. So go ahead; get crazy! Start replacing those old, rusty, or worn out locker body parts.

Next time . . . door and frame replacements--get a new look for much less than a new cost.
