The Vanguard lockers have been the industry standard for rugged, dependable design for decades. The quick ship lockers are available in a wide variety of configurations and sizes and are among the
quietest on the market. Featuring large doors with louvers, recessed 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. Single tier doors over 15" wide have a 3" wide 20 gauge full height reinforcing pan welded to the inside face of the door on 6" centers. The powder coat baked enamel finish is electrostatically applied and available in Gray or Champagne for quick ship Vanguard Lockers. 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 are spot welded for lifetime rigidity. Features include:
- Latch clips engage the door frame at three points on doors over 42" high and two points on all other doors
- Special nylon glides fastened to the latch channel assembly and rubber silencers minimize noise
- ADA rated recessed Vanguard handles that accept built-in or padlocks
- Every door has a continuous door strike
- Two sets of 3 ventilation louvers
- Doors over 48" high have three hinges, all other doors have two hinges
- Hinges are a full loop, 5-knuckle design
- Full channel formations are on the lock and hinge sides of the door to conceal and protect the lock bar and hinges
- Right angle flanges are on the top and bottom.
- Standard 6” legs on quick ship lockers.
- Front legs are integrated into the door frame
- Rear legs are adjustable for leveling and anchoring
The
patented die-cast Vanguard handle pulls out with a simple motion for opening. You can close the door with one motion of one hand, since the spring-loaded latch clips will secure the door even while the door is locked.
About the Additional Equipment
Each locker has a polished aluminum number plate attached to the door, 2-1/4" wide x 1" high, with black numerals not less than 3/8" high. If the starting number is not specified, 1 will be the standard start. The single tier lockers also include the following:
- Hat shelf at 9” below the top

About the Quick Ship Options Slope tops are often used instead of flat tops to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris, and to discourage the use of locker tops as a storage areas. Each kit contains 1 top, 1 back and 2 ends.
Front and end bases are designed to fit between the 6" legs with a clean flush appearance and prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt under the lockers. Built in, differently keyed dead bolts are available with master keys. We also offer
factory assembly for your lockers (add 5 days to manufacturing time) and, because lockers must be floor or wall anchored for safety purposes, a set of
concrete anchors.
About Additional Quick Ship Accessories
Standard vertical angle or wall angle (slip joint) fillers provide a professional, finished appearance. Fillers can be used to cover columns, pipes or other obstacles in a row of lockers, or fill the gap between the lockers and a wall. All filler styles are available in our Locker Accessories.
An End Row Panel should be ordered to complete your locker – whether a single wide or a an entire suite.
