Materials & finishes
Lockin locker systems are available in laminate, steel and hybrid constructions, with finishes and detailing selected around the operational, durability and aesthetic requirements of each project.




Locker systems finished in laminate, perforated steel and large format prints delivered across workplace, education, end-of-trip and public-use environments.
Specifying the right locker material
Lockin locker systems are available in laminate, steel and hybrid constructions, with materials and finishes typically selected around durability, moisture exposure, cleaning requirements, acoustic considerations and alignment with surrounding interior finishes.
Laminate
lockers
Best suited to
Workplace, education and other dry interior environments where lockers need to integrate with surrounding joinery, wall finishes or furniture palettes.
Why it's commonly specified
Laminate lockers provide access to a wide range of commercial colours, woodgrains and textured finishes, supporting a warmer, more furniture-like appearance with reduced visual impact in the space.
Considerations
Best suited to dry interior environments away from repeated moisture exposure, washdown cleaning or direct water contact.
Steel
lockers
Best suited to
Education, end-of-trip, public-use and shared-use environments where durability, ventilation and long-term performance are important.
Why it's commonly specified
Welded steel construction provides robust everyday performance, while powdercoat finishes and perforation patterns allow steel lockers to work as part of the architectural finish, not just as utilitarian storage.
Considerations
Well suited to high-traffic and shared-use environments. Steel systems can be noisier than laminate or hybrid options, depending on hinge, lock and door configuration.
Hybrid
lockers
Best suited to
Workplace, education and end- of-trip projects where durability is required, but the locker doors need to align visually with surrounding joinery or interior finishes.
Why it's commonly specified
Hybrid systems combine welded steel locker bodies with laminate doors, balancing structural durability with the warmer appearance and finish flexibility of laminate.
Considerations
Useful for high-volume interior environments where the durability of steel construction is preferred, but a quieter or more furniture-like door finish is desired.
Compact laminate
lockers
Best suited to
Aquatic centres, wet areas and high-moisture environments where lockers may be exposed to humidity, direct water contact, washdown cleaning or higher- impact use conditions.
Why it's commonly specified
Compact laminate provides a solid, moisture-resistant panel system that is better suited to wet-area use than standard laminate constructions.
Considerations
For many workplace or education change-room environments, compact laminate may be unnecessary where lockers are unlikely to experience repeated direct water exposure.

| Steel hybrid | Body: Welded steel Finish: E1 or E0 laminate with matching ABS edge | Design-led projects requiring durability |
| Custom | Body: Any commercial materials Body: Any commercial finishes | To align with fit-out design specs |
Colours & finishes
Lockin lockers are available in a wide range of commercial laminate and powdercoat finishes sourced from leading Australian suppliers including Laminex, Polytec and Dulux. Finishes are typically selected to align with surrounding joinery, interior palettes, branding, maintenance requirements and project use.
Laminate
finishes
Typically specified when
Lockers need to integrate with surrounding joinery, wall panelling, furniture systems or interior material palettes.
Commonly used for
Workplace, end-of-trip and education use interiors.
Available finishes included
Commercial laminates, woodgrains and textured finishes.
Powdercoat
Typically specified when
Steel locker systems requiring durable finishes that support zoning, wayfinding, branding or visual contrast within the space.
Commonly used for
Education, end-of-trip, sport, aquatic, public-use and high- traffic environments.
Available finishes include
Commercial powdercoat colours, textured coatings and finishes suitable for perforated steel locker systems.
Commonly specified
Lockin regularly works with commercially specified laminate and powdercoat suppliers including Laminex, Polytec, Dulux, Interpon and Oxytech.
Perforations & graphics
Perforations, graphics and detailing allow locker systems to contribute more actively to the architectural language, wayfinding and visual rhythm of a space rather than functioning purely as storage elements.
Perforations &
laser-cut detailing
Used to support
Ventilation, visual texture and reduced visual mass across larger locker banks.
Common applications
Standard perforation patterns, custom perforations, laser-cut numbering, logos and project- specific graphic details.
Specifier note
Perforation patterns can also support acoustic strategies when paired with acoustic backing materials.
Graphics &
Visual integration
Used to support
Branding, user navigation, project identity and visual integration within the fit-out.
Common applications
Locker door graphics, numbering systems, custom imagery and wall-adjacent locker treatments.
Specifier note
Most useful where locker banks form a visible part of the overall interior or wayfinding strategy.
Acoustic
panels
Used to support
Noise reduction and improved acoustic comfort in high-traffic locker environments.
Common applications
Acoustic backing panels installed behind perforated steel locker doors.
Specifier note
Often considered for workplace, education and end-of-trip environments where lockers sit close to occupied or shared spaces.
Numbering &
labelling
Used to support
Wayfinding, user allocation, accessibility and operational management.
Common applications
Laser-cut numbering, engraved plates, printed decals, contrasting colours and accessibility signage where required.
Specifier note
Numbering should be considered early so it aligns with lock type, door finish, user allocation and overall visual intent.

Perforation patterns
Designed around your project
Lockin lockers are manufactured to order and configured around the needs of each project - from dimensions and materials through to layouts, locking systems and accessories.
Flexible dimensions & layouts
Locker widths, heights, depths and internal configurations can all be adjusted to suit project requirements, available space and user needs.
Material & finish
flexibility
Available in laminate, steel or hybrid constructions, with commercial finishes including timber-look laminates, powdercoat colours, perforations and custom graphics.
Integrated lock & accessory systems
Locker systems can be configured with mechanical, digital, RFID or hardwired locking systems, alongside accessories such as seating, charging, mail slots, ironing stations and drying facilities.
Built for project-specific applicators
From workplace and education environments through to elite sports facilities and custom operational requirements, Lockin systems can be adapted to suit unique project briefs.
Projects designed by
Discuss materials, finishes & locker configurations
Our project management team regularly works with architects, designers and builders to review layouts, locker configurations and specification details early in the project process.
