Purchasing New Lockers: Are All Locker Companies Created Equal?

Purchasing new lockers means making important decisions involving a lot of money. You want to get it right, not only because of the expense, but also because it may be another 30 - 50 years or more before you pass this way again--yes, we are still furnishing replacement parts for lockers installed in the 1930's and 40's!

There are several paths to purchasing new lockers. Let's list some of them here and save a discussion of the pros and cons of each for a later time:

1. Purchasing from a general merchandise catalog house;
2. Purchasing from a material handling company, either by phone or through their catalog;
3. Purchasing from a company specializing in lockers;
4. Purchasing over the internet.

For larger projects involving new construction or extensive remodeling, lockers are often purchased through a general contractor as part of a complete building package. There are pluses and minuses to lumping your new lockers into a general construction contract, and we will take a look at that method of locker purchase as well.
