KAYOU / LOCKER SELECTION GUIDE
A metal locker with bench combines individual lockable storage with a convenient seat for changing shoes or preparing for work. KAYOU's pictured steel locker designs bring tall clothing compartments and a wooden bench together in one coordinated unit, helping facilities organize personal belongings and changing areas.
Whether you are planning employee lockers for a factory, staff storage for an office or changing room lockers for a sports facility, the right configuration starts with your users, room dimensions and daily routine. The pictured range includes two-door and four-door arrangements, neutral and colored door finishes, and selected versions with a lower shoe rack.
For distributors and project buyers, KAYOU welcomes inquiries about dimensions, compartment layouts, finishes, locks and bench configurations. Final specifications are confirmed for the selected model before ordering.

Practical Features for Everyday Storage
Individual Lockable Compartments
Separate compartments give users a dedicated place for workwear, bags and personal belongings. Individual doors allow staff or visitors to access their own storage without opening adjacent compartments.
The photographs show several hardware arrangements, including key locks and different handle styles. Choose a locking arrangement that fits how your facility assigns lockers and manages keys. These are everyday storage lockers, not certified burglary-resistant safes.
A Bench Positioned Where Users Need It
The forward-projecting bench provides a seat directly in front of the locker. This can support a more orderly changing routine by giving users a place to sit while changing footwear.
A coordinated locker-and-bench unit also simplifies matching the storage and seating layout. However, the bench adds to the total floor depth: plan for the cabinet, seat projection, door movement and people using the aisle together.
Tall Storage for Clothing and Workwear
Full-height compartments are useful when clothing needs hanging space rather than a small cubby. Selected interiors include a hanging rail with hooks, an upper shelf or a lower shelf division.
Specify what users will store before choosing the internal layout. Long coats, folded uniforms, work boots and backpacks require different clearances. The number of doors alone does not tell you whether each compartment is large enough.
Ventilated Doors
Ventilation slots provide openings for passive air movement through the cabinet. Their position and pattern vary across the pictured models.
A ventilated metal locker is not a drying cabinet. Wet clothing and footwear still need appropriate drying arrangements, and ventilation slots do not make the cabinet waterproof or prevent condensation in a poorly ventilated room.
Optional Under-Bench Shoe Storage
Some pictured versions have a lower rack beneath the seat. This provides a separate location for footwear and helps keep shoes away from the hanging compartment.
Other models use an open support frame without a shoe shelf. If shoe storage is important, specify it explicitly along with the footwear size and required clearance. An open shoe rack is separate from the lockable cabinet and does not secure shoes against removal.
Coordinated Colors and Door Details
Neutral light-gray or white lockers create a consistent appearance in shared interiors. Blue and red doors offer another visual option for your project. Confirm the final color against an approved reference or sample rather than relying on screen images alone.
Label holders appear on several designs and can support compartment identification. Handle type, vent pattern and top profile should also be included in the final model selection.
Where Can These Steel Lockers Be Used?
Staff Rooms, Factories and Warehouses
Employee lockers can help separate personal belongings from operational work areas. A bench-equipped layout is particularly relevant where staff change shoes or uniforms before and after a shift.
For shared-shift facilities, decide whether each person has an assigned locker or whether compartments are reassigned. That choice affects the number of compartments and key-management arrangements needed.
Gyms and Indoor Sports Facilities
Gym lockers with a bench bring seating and clothing storage into the same area. Consider bags, jackets and footwear when selecting compartment dimensions.
Specify the actual exposure conditions if the room is near showers or pools. Do not assume that a standard painted steel cabinet or wood-finish bench is suitable for constant wetting or a chlorine-rich environment.
Schools and Training Facilities
School lockers can provide dedicated storage for clothing and personal items. For younger users, check the reach height of locks and hooks, the seat height, and the installation requirements. A tall adult locker should not automatically be treated as suitable for every age group.
Offices and Staff Accommodation
Lockable metal cabinets with benches can support staff changing areas, commuting routines and shared accommodation storage. Select the configuration around the items being stored and the available space rather than appearance alone.
How to Specify a Metal Locker with Bench
1. Measure the Complete Installation Area
Provide room width, depth and height, together with doorways, windows and any obstacles. Include access routes for delivery. Measure the complete locker-and-bench footprint rather than cabinet depth only.
2. Define Compartment Size and User Capacity
A four-door bank can provide four individual compartments, but usable storage depends on each compartment's internal dimensions. Confirm clear opening width, hanging height and shelf clearance for your intended items.
3. Confirm Materials and Load Ratings
Request the steel thickness, cabinet construction, surface finish, bench material and relevant load ratings. Shelf capacity and bench seating capacity are separate requirements. Neither should be inferred from a photograph or from the word “heavy-duty.”
4. Select the Lock and Key Arrangement
Tell KAYOU whether lockers are assigned permanently or shared among users. Confirm the lock type, supplied keys and any replacement-key requirements. If you need a master-key system, padlock fitting or electronic access, request a feasibility check for the selected cabinet.
5. Review Assembly and Installation
Confirm whether the locker and bench are supplied assembled, partially assembled or in knock-down form. Ask for the applicable assembly and fixing instructions, including any wall or floor anchoring requirements. Do not assume a tall locker is safe to leave unsecured simply because it has a wide bench frame.
Bulk Orders and Project Configuration
KAYOU welcomes metal locker inquiries from furniture distributors, facility contractors and commercial buyers. Options to discuss include cabinet dimensions, door count, colors, internal rails and shelves, locks, bench surfaces, lower shoe storage, branding and packaging.
For a useful comparison between quotations, keep the specification consistent. Different steel thicknesses, locks, bench materials or packing methods can produce very different offers even when the product photographs look similar.
Before confirming an order, agree on the selected configuration, drawings, packing details and any inspection or documentation requirements. Product-specific certificates or test evidence should be checked for the exact model and requirement; do not assume they apply to every version.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a metal locker with bench?
A metal locker with bench combines a lockable cabinet and a seat in front of it. It provides personal storage and a place to sit while changing footwear. Some versions also include an open shoe rack beneath the bench.
2. What is the difference between a metal locker and a steel locker?
“Metal locker” is a broad category; “steel locker” identifies the material more specifically. The pictured products are steel locker designs. Confirm the specified steel and finish in the quotation rather than relying on the category name alone.
3. Are the pictured lockers available with two or four doors?
The images show two-door and four-door examples. Send KAYOU the preferred reference image, required compartment count and dimensions so the appropriate configuration can be confirmed.
4. Does every locker include a hanging rail, shelf and shoe rack?
No. The pictures show different interior and bench layouts. Hanging rails, hooks, shelf positions and lower shoe racks must be confirmed for the selected model. Include your required accessories in the inquiry.
5. Can I use these as gym lockers or staff lockers?
These designs can be considered for indoor gyms, staff rooms and changing areas. Suitability depends on the compartment dimensions, user requirements, installation and environmental exposure. Shower-adjacent or wet areas require a specific material and finish review.
6. Are metal lockers waterproof or rustproof?
Do not treat standard finished steel lockers as waterproof or permanently rustproof. Coating damage, persistent moisture and aggressive cleaning chemicals can affect performance. Tell KAYOU about humidity, cleaning routines and any exposure to water or chemicals before selecting a finish.
7. How much weight can the bench and shelves hold?
No verified load ratings have been provided for the pictured models. Request separate bench and shelf ratings for the exact configuration. State your intended seating and storage requirements so they can be reviewed before purchase.
8. Can the locker size, color and lock be customized?
Customization requests can be discussed with KAYOU. Provide the required dimensions, preferred color, lock arrangement and order quantity. Availability, minimum order requirements and lead time depend on the final specification.
9. Do the lockers need assembly or anchoring?
This depends on the selected construction and installation. Confirm the supplied assembly format and follow the applicable fixing instructions. Include wall and floor details when asking about installation; do not assume anchoring is unnecessary.
10. How should I clean the cabinet and bench?
Use the care instructions for the specified coating and seat material. For routine cleaning, avoid abrasive tools, remove moisture promptly and check that the chosen cleaner is compatible with the surfaces. Do not leave wet clothing inside for prolonged periods.
11. What are the minimum order quantity and delivery time?
MOQ and lead time are confirmed with the quotation. They depend on the model, quantity, customization and packing requirements. Share your delivery destination and required arrival date early so the proposed schedule can be reviewed.
12. What information is needed for a metal locker quotation?
Send the reference image, required quantity, cabinet dimensions, compartment count, internal layout, lock type, bench and shoe-rack requirements, color and delivery destination. Include any specific testing, documentation or installation requirements.
