Charge via USB or 3-Pin Sockets

All our mobile, tablet and laptop lockers come with the option to charge your devices via USB or 3-pin. The USB locking option comes fitted with both Type A and Type C sockets. This ensures that no matter how modern your device, a suitable insert is installed to charge your device. Look out for these icons below when browsing through our charging lockers:

Mobile Phone Charging Lockers

A mobile phone locker is a secure locker consisting of 8, 10, or 15 compartments. With its narrow design of 300mm, its the compact choice suitable where space is a premium. Choose between a single door or compartment matching door quantities. As well as being able to store your mobile device securely, you can also charge it. You can also choose how you want to charge it. This means you have the option of either USB or 3-Pin sockets in each compartment. The entire locker is powered with one 3-Pin plug. However, depending on which quantity of lockers you select, you will have a charging port in each compartment.

Device Charging Locker Q&A

We’ve put together out most popular Q&A’s from our customers regarding Charging Lockers. If you have any more questions, please get in touch with us here:

Q1. How many devices can I charge in each charging locker?

A1. With 3-Pin charging lockers, each compartment’s port can charge a single device. With our USB charging lockers, 2 devices can be charged in each compartment via its type A and type C ports. So, in our 8 compartment 3-pin lockers, you can charge 8 devices. With our 15 compartment USB lockers, you can charge 30 devices (depending on their size)

Q2. Are charging lockers secure?

A2. Yes. You can store and charge your devices securely. Each locker comes fitted with a cam lock as standard. You can lock each door securely with a key. Or, there are optional lock upgrades too. Upgrade to a swivel latch lock if you want to lock with a padlock for example. Get in touch with us today to discuss your options.

Q3. Can I combine 3 Pin and USB charging ports in a single locker unit?

A3. There isn’t currently an option to combine the 2 charging methods in a single unit. This is all based on how each pillar is constructed that runs from the top to the bottom of the locker (in the far right corner of each compartment). Currently, each pillar is installed with either 3-pin or USB charging ports.

Q4. What device can I fit into each locker compartment?

A4. We encourage you to view each of our products descriptions. There, you can see the external locker size, along with each internal compartment size.
