A 6-compartment metal locker is a practical middle size: big enough to serve a small team or class, small enough to fit most walls. Before you buy employee lockers, gym lockers, or school lockers, use this checklist. It uses the Mecolor 6-Door Metal Storage Locker (black or white) as the example.
Step 1: Count the Users, Not the Items
A locker bank is made of separate compartments, so the number of people who need their own lockable space decides the size. With six doors, one unit covers up to six users. If you need more, add a second unit or look at a 9-door locker.
Step 2: Check the Locker's Footprint
This lockable storage cabinet measures 35.4" H x 35.4" W x 15.7" D (90 x 90 x 40 cm). It has a compact, square footprint with a shallow depth, so it works along a wall in an office, hallway, gym locker room, or garage.
Step 3: Confirm the Compartment Size
Each compartment is 14.5" H x 9.8" W x 14" D (36.8 x 25 x 35.5 cm). That's enough for folded clothes, shoes, a small bag, documents, or tools, but not for hanging clothes or very tall items.
Step 4: Pick the Lock Style
This is a padlock locker. Every door has a latch that accepts standard padlocks or combination locks.
- Padlocks: each person brings a lock, with no key system for you to manage
- Combination locks: no keys to lose, and easy to reset for day-use storage
Step 5: Look for Ventilation
Gym clothes, shoes, and work uniforms hold moisture. Louvered vents on the doors keep air moving to help prevent moisture buildup and odors, which matters in a gym locker or locker room setting.
Step 6: Check the Build Quality
| What to Check | This Locker |
|---|---|
| Steel type | Heavy-duty cold-rolled steel |
| Finish | Electrostatic powder coating |
| Labeling | Card holder slot on each door |
| Capacity | 60 lbs maximum |
| Expansion | Heavy-duty, stackable |
Step 7: Choose Black or White
A black metal locker suits garages, gyms, and industrial interiors. A white metal locker suits offices, schools, and bright rooms. Both share the same structure.
Best Setup by Space
| Space | Why a 6-Door Locker Works | Suggested Color |
|---|---|---|
| Small office or staff lockers | Six private compartments for a team | White |
| Gym or studio | Ventilated member storage | Black |
| School or classroom | Student storage along a wall | White |
| Garage or workshop | Durable tool and gear storage | Black |
| Employee locker room | Personal item storage during shifts | Either |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying by total volume instead of the number of users

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can use a 6-compartment locker?
Up to six, since each of the six doors locks independently.
What lock should I use on a metal locker?
Any standard padlock or combination lock that fits the latch. Padlocks are sold separately.
Can I stack more than one locker?
The locker is listed as heavy-duty and stackable. Place units side by side on a flat floor, and follow the assembly instructions.
