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.

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.

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.

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.
