Hygienic furniture and equipment specialist Teknomek has introduced wire mesh lockers to its product range. The lockers provide a hygienic, safe and secure environment for the storage of personal belongings and workwear, whilst also providing clear visibility of what’s inside to mitigate security concerns.
Teknomek has added two wire mesh lockers to its catalogue. The first is manufactured from rust-resistant 304-grade stainless steel with a cleaned and pickled finish, making it ideal for environments where harsher cleaning protocols are required, and the second is made from mild steel with a bright zinc-plated (BZP) finish.
The open mesh construction ensures that the contents of the locker can be seen: a vital consideration for environments where security is particularly important. The mesh structure also promotes ventilation, so that damp clothing can dry naturally and odours are reduced.
The lockers have been designed to be highly durable and easy to use, with a single door, high-level hat or helmet shelf and a sturdy hook for coats or overalls. Each door has a lock with a hasp and staple mechanism, making it extremely secure. This mechanism can accommodate a variety of padlocks. The sloping top prevents users from leaving items on the top of the locker. This supports hygienic protocols whilst also helping to maintain a tidy changing room and supporting ventilation and visibility.
With a 150mm raised base, there is plenty of space beneath the lockers for easy cleaning access. The raised base also allows the lockers to be placed over heating pipes in drying rooms.
The lockers are supplied fully welded and pre-assembled, so they are ready to be installed using the floor and fixing brackets supplied. Each locker is 305mm wide by 1900mm tall. They can be supplied as single, double or triple units.
“Providing employees with secure storage for their belongings is a fundamental responsibility of any business,” says Michelle Locke, product and marketing manager at Teknomek. “However, in environments which are security-sensitive, being able to quickly view what is in lockers is of significant benefit.
“Our new lockers not only provide both customers and their staff with peace of mind from a visibility perspective, the wire mesh construction also supports ventilation and drying of clothing and workwear, reducing unpleasant changing room odours. With the option of 304-grade stainless steel, for environments where hygienic protocols involve the use of harsh chemicals, or mild steel with a BZP finish, we know that these extremely durable lockers will be a game-changer for many customers.”
