The Vanguard lockers have been the industry standard for rugged, dependable design for decades. The Vanguard standard lockers are available in a wide variety of configurations and sizes, including the double row, and are among the
quietest on the market. Featuring large doors with louvers, die cast handles, and a powder coat baked enamel finish, they
withstand the daily use and abuse typically given to a locker.
About the Materials and Finish
All locker body parts and shelves are made from prime grade 24 gauge mild cold rolled sheet steel free from surface imperfection, and capable of taking a high grade enamel finish. Doors 30" or higher are formed from one piece 16 gauge while doors less than 12" wide are 18 gauge. The powder coat baked enamel finish is electro-statically applied and available in 21 Colors. All locker body parts are finished in the same color.
About the Vanguard Locker Construction
Built on the unit principle - each locker has an individual door and frame, top, bottom, back, hooks and shelves with common intermediate uprights separating compartments. The welded door frames have mortise and tenon construction and the cross frame members of 16 gauge channel shapes include intermediate cross frames that are securely welded to the vertical framing members to ensure rigidity. The double row configuration is a back to back with a shared wall. Features include:
- Latch clips engage the door frame at three points on doors over 42" high and two points on all other doors
