Our latest colourful locker project was for a hospital. They wanted a variety of coloured lockers that matched their specially painted walls, helping to spread joy to their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitals can be stressful and overwhelming for both patients and visitors. That is why every design choice is important. Building Better Healthcare (BBH)<\/a> has found that colour in medical environments can help to make patients feel at ease, improving mental wellbeing significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Direct2U, we are proud to offer a wide range of lockers that suit all kinds of environments and requirements. From various colour combinations to trusted brands, we work with our clients to find the right solution for their space, whether it’s a hospital ward, a staff room, or anything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brief \ud83d\udcdd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our team helped a hospital choose and install high-quality lockers. The hospital wanted lockers placed in different wings and rooms throughout the building instead of having one shared storage area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setup made it easier for patients and staff to access secure storage wherever they needed it. It also reduced unnecessary movement around the hospital, making daily activities more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital also wanted the lockers to have combination locks instead of keys. In a busy hospital, lost keys can cause delays, stress, and security problems. Combination locks provide a simple and secure solution without the need to manage keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important requirement was for the lockers to match the hospital\u2019s newly painted accent walls. Different wings were decorated in soft pastel colours, including blue, yellow, green, and purple. To complement these colours, the hospital chose bright locker doors that stood out while still fitting the overall design. This helped create a welcoming and positive atmosphere throughout the building.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final results \ud83d\udc40<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a result of their request, we installed a range of our Armour Combination Lockers<\/a> in blue, yellow, and green. To match their pastel purple walls, we also supplied several Spectrum Heavy Duty Lockers<\/a> with Pitahaya Pink door colours. We carefully select each colour to complement the walls and boost the atmosphere in the space where we install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lockers were installed in groups, with each four-tier locker connected to four others. This layout made the best use of the available space and provided extra stability. This was especially important in a busy hospital, where the lockers need to be strong and durable enough to handle everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital also chose to add sloping tops to the lockers. Although this may seem like a small detail, it offers several practical benefits. Sloping tops help prevent dust, dirt, and clutter from building up on top of the lockers, which is especially important in healthcare environments where cleanliness is a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also improve the overall appearance of the lockers, giving them a cleaner and more professional look. This helps the lockers fit well with the hospital environment as they try to create a welcoming and well-designed space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose our Armour and Spectrum Lockers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Wide range of colours \ud83c\udfa8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Armour Lockers<\/a> come in a range of standard colours. But if you\u2019re after something more distinctive, our Spectrum Locker<\/a> range has many unique and bold swatches. This includes the Pitahaya Pink featured in this project, as well as the best-selling Lagoon Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re matching brand colours, complementing interiors, or creating a brighter, more welcoming space, there’s an option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-bacterial protection \ud83e\udda0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both the Armour and Spectrum Locker ranges have been powder-coated with Germ Guard Active Technology powder coating. This is an asset in high-traffic and vulnerable environments, such as medical settings. Adding this advanced anti-bacterial coating helps stop many types of bacteria from spreading. It works against common cold germs and E. Coli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Choice of lock options \ud83d\udd10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Armour Locker<\/a> range comes with cam locks as standard. However, lock upgrades are also available, including combination and coin-operated locks. This can help to improve locker usability. To add lock upgrades to you Spectrum Locker, please contact our sales team directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust construction \ud83d\udd28<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Durable steel makes up each locker unit, and each compartment includes strengthened doors with rubber buffers. This cushions compartment doors when they are closed, helping to reduce noise and protect the lockers from wear and tear. As a result, these lockers are ideal for withstanding daily use from patients, staff members, and visitors. Therefore, they are the ideal long-term investment for any business to choose, from healthcare to schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Range of finishes \ud83d\ude0d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We want to ensure our lockers fit perfectly within your available space. That is why we offer our Armour and Spectrum lockers with a choice of 300mm, 380mm and 450mm widths. Additionally, our larger 1-door locker units come with a top shelf and coat hook in each compartment. This makes the storage of your personal items easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
