School Lockers Blog

Meet Chris. He is a 49ers fan...big time.

Chris oversees our Internet orders here at SchoolLockers.com, where we specialize in providing new lockers for large projects such as football stadiums and also individual orders for people who are just looking for athletic lockers in general. Remember that, because it will make sense later on why we're talking about Chris...

Well earlier this year as Chris was still mourning the loss that his beloved team (the San Francisco 49ers) endured in the Superbowl, he received a phone call from one of our clients who had ordered a full-sized, blue stadium locker. In and of itself, that isn't a big deal since we sell literally tons of these each and every year...however this time around it was slightly different.

The client’s name was Philip Rivers. (NFL and sports fans; that should perk your ears up immediately)

Now if you still have a confused look on your face, relax because unless you live in California (or you just happen to be a big San Diego Chargers fan) that name may slip right on by you. You see Philip Rivers is in fact the star quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and was a first round draft pick in 2004. Rivers originally went to New York to play with the Giants, however was later traded to the Chargers where he has made quite a name for himself.

River's career highlights echo through NFL locker rooms. His passer rating is an astonishing 94.5--That makes him the sixth best all-time among NFL quarterbacks with at least 1,500 passing attempts. Rivers also has a career total of 13 Fourth Quarter Comebacks. Last season, Rivers started his 100th career game, which was also his 100th consecutive start. He also became seventh fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 25,000 career yards, among other pretty cool team records...We're just sayin' :)

Anyhow, Mr. Rivers was calling about the home delivery of his locker, which his wife had ordered online.  Knowing a thing or two about football and the NFL, it wasn't until Chris finally couldn't resist any longer and asked if in fact this was the very same Philip Rivers who holds quite a few Chargers franchise records such as; Most passing touchdowns in a single season (34 in 2008) Most consecutive seasons with at least 25 touchdowns (5 - 2008 through 2012) and the most consecutive seasons with 4,000 passing yards (4 - 2008 through 2011) just to name a few.

It was him.  How awesome is that?

(Chris agreed too--it was pretty cool.  Not too many times you can say you personally sold a gym locker to a current, record-holding, NFL quarterback.)

Since we figure since he already has a great stadium locker at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, we can only imagine the navy blue stadium locker he just bought is heading for use of an up-and-coming, younger Rivers who wants to play football like his father. Now we can't say for certain, however what are the odds--?

Now we have two sizes of stadium lockers--one is the smaller size which measures in at 18" wide, 15" deep and 54" high, but the one we sent the Rivers family measures in at 24" wide, 18" deep and 72" high--just like those sports lockers you see in the NFL.

By the way, whether or not you are a San Diego Chargers fan, you have to admire Philip Rivers' excellent tastes!

Now don't lose sleep for poor Chris and his beloved 49ers. There is always next season, and who knows? Perhaps this summer during our busy season we'll fill an order for Colin Kaepernick, and Chris will be able to perhaps give him some pointers...

(Just who is Kaepernick--?  Take a wild guess who he plays for and in what position...and by the way, you only get one guess!  ;) )

We felt this topic was too important to ignore.  Lately there have been many stories in the news regarding the horrific results of bullying in junior high schools, high schools and even colleges. 

Take for instance this recent story in Des Moines, Iowa.  Recently an application for the Ku Klux Klan was found taped to an eighth-grade student’s school locker, and the victim of the offensive prank was indeed an African American student.  Imagine being 14-year-old Dante Johnson-Taylor and finding an application to the KKK taped to your locker at Urbandale Middle School?

Pretty unnerving, even if you’re an adult.

Urbandale High School, Des Moines, Iowa

Now the student who callously taped the form to the victim’s locker in Des Moines was caught and is currently undergoing a disciplinary action that the Urbandale Schools Superintendent Doug Stilwell “cannot comment upon at this time.”  Due to the gravity of the act, and the fact that it was a fellow classmate—one whom Taylor admitted he “thought was a friend"— is even more disturbing.  Why?  Because it proves that the culprits of bullying sometimes are not understanding of the gravity of what they did.

East Lansing High School, East Lansing, Michigan

And you don’t have to reach too far back into the past to find other instances of intense bullying.  Just two weeks before the Urbandale bullying incident, three other high school students in East Lansing, Michigan currently face severe disciplinary actions for carving images of a swastika into two other student’s high school lockers.  According to news reports, one victim whose metal locker was carved is apparently a Jewish student.

Bullying.  It has become a very heated and controversial topic.  This isn’t like the days when a student would randomly get whipped once with a towel in the gym locker room, or being stuffed into a narrow high school locker as a seemingly harmless “practical joke.”  Today’s bullying is far more severe and is not limited to what happens on school property.

Take these two recent cases mentioned above.  Viciously attacking a person’s ethnicity or deep religious convictions goes far and beyond the scope of any initiation rite of passage that hazing is commonly associated with.  These attacks strike at the very core of an individual’s soul.  They are both reprehensible and should be dealt with in a serious, yet constructive and informative manner to help those “bullies” understand the lasting effects their actions had upon those victims.

According to the Center for Disease Control, (CDC) suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people.  That results as about 4,400 deaths annually.  For every suicide that is successful, unfortunately there are at least 100 other unsuccessful attempts, and over 14 percent of high school students actually have admitted they have considered suicide.

Now we are not stating that bullying is the only and sole cause of suicides in junior high and high school aged students.  There are possible other factors and more reasons, however the statistic is alarming enough to warrant a closer look at how to prevent acts of bullying mentioned above.

The CDC notes that bullying victims are between two and nine times more likely to at least consider suicide than non-victims of bullying.  Add that to a recent survey by ABC News where nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and that adds up to being a number that is indeed quite concerning.

Signs that your child may be the victim of bullying can present themselves as follows:

- They lose interest in normally favorite activities and pastimes. 

- There is a noticeable decrease in sleep and eating.

- Parents may notice an increase in having “a bad day” and a withdrawal from former friends, neighbors and even family members.

 - The child begins talking or writing about death or displays an unusual interest in dying.  This can include comments such as the following; “things would be better without me” or; “if I wasn’t here, you would all be happier.”

 - Unusual behavior changes that could possibly include going to such lengths as even giving away cherished items and favorite possessions.

If your child does exhibit any, or even some, of these symptoms it is important to not ignore these signs seeking help.  Sit down and talk to them about your concerns and even get them professional help immediately in the form of professional therapy.

Since two of our divisions specialize in gym and high school lockers, we are aware of, and understand the pressures surrounding high school and that bullying can cause serious issues and lead to horrible consequences.  We just wanted all of our clients such as teachers, principals, parents and school administrators to be aware of the effects of bullying and keep a keen eye out for these signs when presented by students, or your very own children.

This recent news story addresses a lot of issues that schools are having concerning budgets, however notice how many of the issues cited (kid's health, security, etc.) are in fact centered in providing gym lockers, more storage areas and overall basic concepts of safety?

This economy has strapped a lot of schools and their budgets. And the clear fact is that schools across the nation are getting older with each passing year. Unfortunately the years add up, and gyms, lockers, desks, benches, playgrounds and other aspects of a school facility are aging as well.

Take this school in Austin, Texas.  The school is literally crumbling down around them—so much so that officials are considering shutting the school drama theater down due to the fact there is one dressing room…One dressing room which needs to accommodate the 800 students who are in the Bowie Theater Program.

Oh yes, and the ceiling is falling down--literally.

Furthermore it doesn’t help that the football team has been growing as well.  According to one source; “My son's freshman football team had 103 players, and there are locker rooms for 44,” said one parent.

Courtesy KHOU

Also listed in the report are issues of “staph infection” possibly due to having to stack gear together in piles and not having enough gym lockers to accommodate those players. Scary stuff for any parent.

Also made mention in the report is the fact the limited lockers that are available don’t even come with locks, which leads to theft in an already deteriorating and miserable environment.

Courtesy KHOU

A school experience should NOT be like this.  Schools should not resemble an episode of “Hoarders” and who suffers most from it? The students. Students who are supposed to be getting a quality education.

Now there are of course many solutions—the main one being the $892 million dollar bond that is going to be put before voters on May 11, 2013. But how did things get this bad? 

If you are an administrator who is facing such issues with budgeting, and dare we say “overcrowding” and limited resources, then maybe looking outside the box is where viable answers might be found.

“Buying used lockers usually boils down to costs for a school,” said Tim Oliver, salesman for SchoolLockers.com.“That is the primary reason.”

Lockers are mentioned quite a bit in this news story and this is one area a school can cut costs, yet still effectively eliminate those gym “staph infections” and “theft issues.” Purchasing used lockers can also help the drama department’s overcrowding, let alone help solve the dangerous decisions to keep leaving stuff which impedes safe exits in emergencies.

The option of buying 'used' really isn’t a novel idea for most administrators. 

“Usually by the time the customer comes to us on school lockers, they’re pretty much in the mindset they want used lockers,” adds Oliver. “What we often do is if there is huge budget constraints, we’ll offer them a couple different options. One is used lockers.”

“We’ll also offer them new lockers, unassembled,” said Oliver. “Because some of the time, particularly if they are fund raising and so forth, they’ll have parents that might be interested in helping them assemble the new lockers.”

That “sweat equity” allows big time savings to some schools that choose this cost cutting route.

“Assembling them will probably will cut costs from their budget by maybe between about 20 and 30 percent on average,” states Oliver. “It could vary a little from that, but between 20 and 30 percent of budget savings. We provide instructions, all the hardware and everything to do it, so there’s a lot of schools that have done it, and usually they are saving a lot of money by ordering un-assembled lockers—usually it works out between $25 and $40 dollars per column.”

Oliver emphasizes that when looking at potential used school or gym lockers, to check locking mechanisms, and one area especially—the condition of the hinges.

“Hinges are another factor.The hinge tends to wear over the years so they check that, make sure it is fully functional,” said Oliver. He recommends also thoroughly checking latch bars and attached hardware, handles, or basically any moving components.

Let’s hope that in Austin, Texas they will find feasible solutions for the students at this high school.

Mud rooms are becoming more and more of an interest. Leading the charge are the crafty, resourceful and exuberant moms who are either building these rooms literally from scratch out of lumber, or are re-purposing old lockers that naturally add that coveted “vintage” look which seems to be more popular…

Either way, mud rooms are becoming the rage across the country—especially in places like the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, or back East where rainfall, sleet and snow give ample reasons for having a family mud room.

And when you think about it, having a mud room does make quite a bit of sense, especially if you do live in those parts of the country.

So if you’re antsy and looking for a new spring project, here are four ideas which can help you make a mud room that is both attractive and functional.

1. Remember this mudroom is used to perform the following chores; shed wet/dirty clothing, store umbrellas and other outdoor items and keep all your family member items organized and in ONE place that saves you from having to run all across the house! A mud room also ensures that if you have four-legged family members, it can be used for providing a “staging area” for wet and dirty pets when they charge into your home from the great outdoors.

Therefore the perfect mudroom requires a simple and neat set up. It can and will get messy, so your mud room needs to be designed and built with materials that are rugged enough and can handle a bit of abuse. This is why we are seeing more and more used lockers, school lockers and even gym lockers of heavier gauge steel being re-purposed for mud rooms.

2. Where do you build an effective mud room? Usually it is near a doorway leading to the side or back of the house. It could be a hallway designated for such and maybe not a full-blown “mudroom” per say. If you are strapped for space, perhaps try converting the laundry area, or remodel that second entryway into the official laundry room and therefore kill two muddy birds with one stone.

Why have the laundry room and mud room coexist? Because otherwise you would need to haul all that dirty and wet laundry to another section of the house to be washed, rather than have your washer and dryer right there at the place your kids turn into Ground Zero when they come in muddy and wet.

3. Next the entryway to the mud room. It needs a good, open area where you can wipe the mud from your feet or pause long enough to let the buckets of water run off your overcoat and onto…?

Yes! You guessed it!

…Onto a very large rug! This rug will be washed time and time and time again. And not only will the rug add an accent color to the mud room, but it will also be functional and fabulous on those days when Mother Nature brings her game into your home.

The entry way should also be an area wide enough to handle a fully-opened umbrella, a small herd of kids and pack of excited dogs if you have more than one, so before you build your hutches, place furniture and other design ideas, make sure you have enough room to open/close an umbrella and accommodate these other minor invasions.

4. Cubby holes are AWESOME! These types of storage compartments can either used or new lockers that once were gym lockers, schoollockers, sports lockers and they are built into the walls as independent shelves, become hidden drawers under a seat, or laid out in the open sports locker/team gym locker style layout. Wherever you put these cubby holes, you can rest assured these storage units will be stuffed with muddy shoes, boots and other footwear. These repositories can also be filled with other outdoor items you commonly use in foul weather, and will always be where you need them—right there in the mud room.

Since some people think Rover’s natural place is in a mud room, these cubby holes and old gym lockers, school lockers, and sports lockers can also be the perfect place for keeping pet food, leashes and their favorite, chewed up tennis balls—all out of sight and neatly stored.

Now admittedly if you’ve seen photos of mud rooms—and there are many—you can build it from whatever resources you can find. The only boundary is your imagination.

No matter which look you prefer, you will want to concentrate on these four items. As for the rest, it is as imaginative as you want to get with it!

First responders need sturdy lockers for their equipment including side arms, uniforms, armor, protective gear, helmets, and even evidence. Valuable as it is for servicemen, the equipment requires secure, private, and convenient storage. These lockers are the perfect answer.

1. Turnout Locker with Center Partition and 24 inch Security Box

For people on the go, who need easy access to their equipment and to be ready in a couple of seconds, the Turnout Lockers are perfect.

Made of cold rolled steel, they are compact and uncompromising, great for storing equipment that may be heavy, side arms, and so forth.

A center partition is added for uniforms, civilian clothing, or even long firearms. Not to mention, a 24" Security Box is included for more secure storage of cell phones, laptops, and side arms.

2. Military Locker / Police Locker for Turnout Gear

Police Officers, Military Personnel, and Firefighters need to be ready when that call comes in. They need to grab their uniforms and equipment to be ready for deployment in a flash. Our Turn Out gear lockers perfectly suit their needs.

Manufactured from cold rolled steel, the Turn Out gear lockers are rigid and tough; the open design is suitable for easy, convenient access to items. A rack is provided for uniforms and protective gear plus a top shelf for head gear, because servicemen need an all-body protection. A 24" security box is included for small items like wallets, keys, and side arms.

3. Gear Locker with Center Partition

For personnel who need further protection for their gear, the Gear Locker with a Center Partition is the solution.

Items can be securely stored by shutting and locking the doors; all compartments are behind doors with no unauthorized access allowed. The partition provides space to hang uniforms and other clothing, but still leaves enough room for other things like firearms, side arms, laptops and documents. There is also a top shelf for head gear and helmets, and a bottom shelf for more rooms.

4. Gear Locker with Security Box and Drawer

Includes a top shelf for safe storage of: small items like wallets, keys and side arms; a drawer for documents and other belongings; two half shelves for your uniforms and other tools; a mirror and even a cell phone tray.The Gear Locker with Security Box and Drawer is the all around locker for service personnel.

Like our other lockers, its assembly can be configured and customized to accommodate specific needs, and is available in multiple colors and sizes.

5. Mobile Turnout Gear Lockers

Rescue personnel's gear goes through a lot of heavy use and exposure. Fire, heat, dust, water and even chemicals can quickly destroy gear. The Mobile Turnout Gear Lockers' well-ventilated design provides air circulation that enables uniforms to dry or exhaust all the heat they gathered during rescue operations.

Wheels (operated by footbrakes) are added to provide mobility to the lockers; perfect when the storage needs and configurations often need to change.

6. Wall Mount Turnout Gear Lockers

In those cases where sturdy, permanent, and space-saving storage is needed, Wall Mounted Turnout Gear Lockers are the answer.
Created to prolong the life of rescue personnel's gear after a long and tough day, the gridded steel panels and open-faced sections provide maximum ventilation and accessibility to gear.

The wall mount design is perfect if a fixed storage solution needed.

7. Evidence Lockers

Evidence security is of the utmost importance for courts and law. It can be the basis of cases, verdicts, and even lawsuits. Storing it is as essential as the evidences itself.

Evidence lockers provide the solution. They offer maximum security and versatility because physical evidence comes in different forms; firearms, documents, blood or chemical specimens, clothing, printed pictures, etc.

Perfect for police officers, crime investigators, forensic experts, court officials, and those who enforce the law.

Cell phone lockers are used in many federal buildings, correctional facilities, courthouses, hospitals, and businesses where employees or guests need temporary and secure storage of small personal items and valuables not permitted in the area they are entering.

When purchasing these cell phone lockers, become familiar with their options to purchase the appropriate configuration/style needed.

1. Mini Lockers for Wallets and Cell Phones

Because of their size, mini lockers are easily placed on counter tops or mounted on walls where people can easily access them. When needed, several of these small units are arranged side by side or on top of each other providing plenty of personal storage for employees and guests, while occupying less space.

Mini lockers are available in stainless steel and are key-operated. If needed, choose other lock options such as padlocks or coin operated locks. Units can match the color scheme of the room where they will be installed if desired.

2. Cell Phone Lockers with Power Outlets

Employees and guests will certainly find the power outlets inside these phone lockers handy. They can charge their mobile phones and other devices like MP3 players, digital cameras, and handheld gaming gadgets if users have their chargers with them.

And if ever users don't, they can still utilize the storage unit for other valuable items like wallets, keys, pocket knives, small purses, toiletries, notes, school supplies, and more.

3. Cell Phone Lockers with Built-in Key Locks

They take up a small space, yet are perfect for safe-keeping of wallets, coin purses, notepads, school supplies, or electronic devices like cell phones, iPod's and PSPs. Use in activity centers, gyms, class rooms, employee lounges, or any place where protected and accessible storage is needed.

Noise is not a problem; rubber bumpers keep the noise from closing and opening the lockers to a minimum. They can be wall mounted, floor mounted or desk mounted. And they have built-in key locks.

4. Recessed and Surface Mounted Phone Lockers

Like our standard and small box lockers, the Recessed and Surface Mounted Small Lockers are great for offices, restaurants, and school employees who need safeguarded, accessible, and space-saving storage.

Items are secured and kept private. There is no access for all the compartments of the locker system. They are trendy and fashionable, with an aluminum finish and cam locks to top it all.

These units can be ordered either surface mounted, which is affixed on the surface wall, or, for a more space saving option, recessed completely within the wall. Choose the depth you prefer: 4" deep with a compartment depth of 2.9", or 7.5" deep with a compartment depth of 6.4". Also, plastic number slots are included for effortless labeling.

5. Coin-Operated Lockers for Cell Phones

Perfect for indoor or outdoor mounting, these Coin Operated Mini Lockers are easy to use with minimal supervision. Great for storing small items like cell phones, MP3 and/or MP4 players, handheld gaming devices, wallets, watches, pistols, utility knives and Swiss Army knives.

Coin Operated Mini Lockers are manufactured using 304 stainless steel so they are resistant to corrosion; outfitted with automatically closing doors in case doors are left open; and a coin collection bin that can hold up to 200 quarters.

If the lockers you just purchased for your facility do not come with built-in locks, their security is your most immediate concern. Users consider the security of your lockers as the most important feature so you have to be smart on choosing the lockers' locks. To help you decide, I have listed below six of the most secure locker security systems.

Key Operated Locker Locks

Locks operated by keys are best for lockers that are in areas where multiple users are assigned access to lockers for a short period of time. Examples of such areas are gyms, health clubs, and pools.

The lock comes with a manual deadbolt that is easy to operate yet provides the highest security. When buying this lock, make sure to ask if the control keys are included in your order or if you need to purchase them separately.

Word Combination Locks

Instead of using numbers, these padlocks use letter combinations. Some word combination locks have 3-letter wheels to set a 3-letter password, while others have more than three wheels allowing you to set a strong combination for your lock. The word combination locks that are shown on the image to the left have 5-letter wheels, which create a stronger combination.

Locks that use word combinations are ideal for securing school and employee lockers.

Letter and Number Combination Locks

A well-set lock combination with letters and numbers discourages theft and secures personal items stored inside the locker. Such security system actually reminds me of passwords I use for emails and other website accounts I have, except that these locks have a smaller character limit; usually a 3-alphanumeric combination.

Coin Operated Locks

For lockers that have high turnover usage, it is ideal to secure them with locks that use coins to operate. The cost of labor for tracking locker usage will be minimal as the users can get the keys themselves. A user can simply open the locker's door and insert a coin to get the key. When it's time to retrieve their personal belongings and the coin, they just unlock the locker by inserting the key back into the lock.

These locker security systems are commonly used in amusement parks, public pools, hospitals, museums, gyms and other locations where there are temporary or rotating users.

Electronic Locker Locks

A locker lock system that is controlled electronically is efficient and secure for both permanent and rotating users. These locks use card keys that have the same security levels as smart cards for banking. Since it is electronic, the lock can track user history, an additional feature to discourage theft. The system can work on almost all types of lockers and is convenient to use in athletic facilities, fitness centers, offices, hotels, and resorts.

Wrist Bands for Electronic Locks

The wristband locker key is an alternative to the electronic card key and is ideal for users that do sports or exercises. Users do not need to worry about losing their locker keys as they can wear them on their wrists. Many athletic facilities, hotels, resorts, and wellness centers use wristband keys with their electronic locker locks.

We had a rush order for over 1000 lockers for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and after an extensive period of researching options, Jeff Stoker sourced them at a delivered price that met the limited budget and tight time-line.
