Spacing of Lockers


Lockers standing on the floor should be positioned so that there is a clear space or aisle at least 900mm wide - but preferably 1000mm - between the locker fronts and the opposing fixture - this could be a parallel run of lockers, or a corridor wall.

Always allow clearance for wide-open doors - this varies according to the locker width. Where space is available, the width of the aisle can be increased up to 1500mm where facing lockers are likely to be used simultaneously.

Lockers standing on support frames fitted with a seat should have a minimum aisle width of 900-1000mm, but a spacing of 1200mm is desirable if facing lockers are to be used simultaneously.
