Product names like "35-inch metal storage locker" sound precise, but they leave a lot unsaid. Does 35 inches describe the height, the width, or both? How big is each compartment? Will it fit where you want it? This guide explains how to read locker measurements, using the Mecolor 35" Metal Storage Locker as the working example.
📏 Step 1: Understand H x W x D
Furniture dimensions are listed as Height x Width x Depth, measured at the widest point of each. For this locker:
| Measurement | Inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 35.4" | 90 cm |
| Width | 35.4" | 90 cm |
| Depth | 17.7" | 45 cm |
So "35-inch" refers to its square front: it's about 35 inches tall and about 35 inches wide, with a shallower depth of about 18 inches.
📦 Step 2: Overall Size vs. Compartment Size
The overall size tells you how much room the locker takes. The compartment size tells you what fits inside. They're different, because the steel walls, dividers, and frame take up space.
| Measurement | Overall Locker | Single Compartment |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 35.4" | 14.5" (36.8 cm) |
| Width | 35.4" | 9.4" (24 cm) |
| Depth | 17.7" | 16.3" (41.5 cm) |
Notice that the compartment depth (16.3") is close to the overall depth (17.7"), while the compartment width (9.4") is much smaller than the overall width. That's because the six compartments share the front width of the cabinet.
🧮 Step 3: Calculate Storage Volume
To compare lockers fairly, multiply the compartment's height, width, and depth.
- 14.5" x 9.4" x 16.3" is about 2,220 cubic inches
- That's roughly 1.3 cubic feet, or about 36 liters, per compartment
With six compartments, the total interior is around 7.7 cubic feet, though you can't use all of that as one big space, since each compartment is separate.
🧭 Step 4: Measure Your Space
- Width: measure the wall space and add a little extra beyond 35.4" for easy access.
- Depth: allow at least 18" of floor space, plus room in front for the doors to swing open.
- Height: check clearance above. This locker is just under 3 feet tall.
- Floor: a flat, level surface helps the doors close properly.
🪟 Under a Counter?
The product listing says the locker is designed to fit under countertops. Many standard kitchen counters are about 36 inches high, so a 35.4-inch locker can fit beneath some of them. Always measure your own counter, including any baseboard or overhang, before ordering.
🚪 Don't Forget Door Swing
Each door is roughly a third of the locker's width, so leave about a foot of clear space in front for the doors to open fully.
⚖️ Step 5: Know the Weight
The locker weighs about 62.4 pounds (28 kg) empty. That's useful when planning where to place it and who will move it.
