Are you in need of new or replacement middle school lockers or high school lockers for the upcoming school year? Lockers are an essential investment, so you need to choose ones that are the right size, style, and price for your particular needs. We have more than 53 years of experience and can ensure you get the perfect lockers for your school.
Important Things to Consider When Buying Lockers for a New School Year
Probably the No. 1 thing you need to think about when buying new middle school lockers or high school lockers is your timeline. Ideally, Christmas Break is the best time to start thinking about budgeting for new lockers. The best time to order new lockers is around spring break—or earlier—in order to get them installed while school is out for the summer.
“If we could get schools to think months ahead, they would not be stressed out when school is about to start and they still don’t have lockers,” says Jeff Stoker, Sales Executive. “Many schools will need a lead time of about 3-4 months just to manufacture the lockers. School Board meetings, planning, budgeting, approval, payment, [etc.] all add to that timeframe...and they need all the time they can get for such a large purchase.”
Other important things to consider are the specific kind of lockers your school needs, with regard to durability, appearance (style and color), security, and size. Lockers that aren’t Quick Ship can take as long as 16-20 weeks to arrive. “Our current lead time for production lockers is running 16 weeks but is one of the fastest available lead times,” Stoker says.
Getting a Quote
Once you’ve determined your timeline and have a basic idea of the kind of lockers you’ll need, we can provide you with a quote to start the ordering process. You’ll just need to provide us with:
1. the type of lockers needed (typically single tier or double tier for middle school or high schools)
2. how the lockers will need to be arranged/laid out
*Usually new lockers will replace old lockers, so our salespeople need to know how many columns are in each row of existing lockers in order to provide you with an accurate quote.*

Removal/Reinstallation
Lockers are bulky and can be difficult to take apart and haul away. We can safely remove your old lockers, saving expensive labor costs and risks to staff.
“Old lockers make an incredibly effective school look old. Kids respond to their environment,” says John Davies, Sales Executive.
Make sure your school is providing an effective learning environment and setting your students up for success with lockers that look great and provide secure storage. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have when it comes to ordering new middle school lockers or high school lockers.
