Slim Metal Employee Locker for Retail Staff Cloakroom & Restaurant | Compact Steel Cabinet With Mirror, Space-saving KD Structure
Product Spotlights
This slim metal employee locker is designed specifically for tight spaces. At 1800mm high, it uses vertical space efficiently. The compact footprint means you can fit storage where full-width lockers won't go. An internal mirror adds convenience for staff checking appearance before serving customers. And the knocked-down (KD) flat-pack design makes delivery and installation straightforward—even in city centre locations with limited access.
Let's explore why this locker is the perfect choice for retail and hospitality environments.

| Limited Back-of-House Space | Every metre is valuable for operations | Slim 850mm width, vertical 1800mm height |

Key Features for Tight Spaces
1. Compact Footprint, Generous Capacity
At 850mm wide and 420mm deep, this locker fits where others won't. Yet inside, it offers:
Full-height hanging – 1720mm usable height for coats, chef whites, uniforms
Fixed top shelf – Space for bags, shoes, personal items
Floor area – Boots, larger bags, equipment
The slim profile means you can line lockers along a narrow corridor, fit them into an awkward corner, or maximise storage in a small staff room. In retail and hospitality, space is money—this locker helps you use every inch wisely.
2. Integrated Mirror for Professional Appearance
In customer-facing roles, appearance matters. The internal mirror lets staff:
Check uniform before going on shift
Adjust hair and makeup quickly
Ensure name badges are straight
Present a professional image to customers
The mirror is safety-backed and positioned on the door interior—protected during use but always available when needed.
3. Space-Saving KD Flat-Pack Design
City centre restaurants and stores often have delivery challenges. Narrow streets, limited parking, small lifts, and tight doorways make delivering assembled lockers difficult. Our knocked-down design solves this:
| Benefit | What It Means For You |
|---|---|
| Compact Delivery | Flat-pack boxes fit through standard doorways, narrow corridors |
| Easy Urban Logistics | Deliveries possible where assembled units can't go |
| Lower Shipping Cost | More units per pallet |
| Flexible Installation | Assemble in the room—no moving assembled units |
| Simple Storage | Keep flat until needed |
Assembly takes approximately 15 minutes per locker with two people. Basic tools only.
4. Durable Construction for Daily Use
Hospitality and retail staff use lockers every day, often multiple times per shift. This locker is built to last:
0.6mm cold-rolled steel body – Rigid and strong
Reinforced 0.8mm door – No warping over time
Heavy-duty welded hinges – Smooth operation for years
Robust powder coat finish – Resists knocks and scratches
5. Secure Locking System
Staff need confidence their belongings are safe while they work. The locking system includes:
Commercial-grade cam lock
Steel lock cylinder with anti-pick pins
Two keys per lock
Key code card for easy replacements
Smooth, reliable operation
For restaurants with multiple shift patterns, consider keyed-alike options—all lockers open with the same master key, simplifying management.
6. Ventilation for Freshness
After a busy shift, uniforms can be warm or damp. Ventilation louvres:
Allow air circulation
Reduce odours
Prevent mildew on damp clothing
Keep contents fresher for next shift
Internal Layout: What Fits Inside
| Area | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Full-Height Hanging | Chef whites, uniform shirts, coats, dresses |
| Top Shelf | Handbags, lunchboxes, hats, shoes |
| Floor Area | Trainers, small bags, equipment |
| Door Mirror | Quick appearance check |
With 1800mm height, even long chef coats hang freely. The 850mm width is generous enough for everyday items but compact enough for tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will this locker fit through a standard doorway when assembled?
No need to worry—it arrives flat-packed. The locker ships as a compact box measuring approximately 1850mm x 950mm x 120mm. This easily passes through standard doorways (typical UK door width is 762mm/30"). You then assemble it inside the staff room. No struggling to manoeuvre assembled units through narrow corridors or up tight staircases.
Q2: Can staff hang long chef coats and aprons in this locker?
Yes, absolutely. With 1720mm of usable internal hanging height, this locker comfortably accommodates full-length chef whites, long aprons, dresses, and coats. The 1800mm overall height was specifically chosen to provide full-length hanging while remaining compatible with standard ceiling heights in commercial buildings.
Q3: I have a small team but limited space. How many can I fit?
It depends on your wall space. Here's a quick guide:
A 2-metre wall can fit 2 lockers (850mm each = 1.7 metres, with some space at ends)
A 3-metre wall can fit 3 lockers (2.55 metres total)
A 5-metre wall can fit 5-6 lockers depending on door swings
For a rough calculation: measure your available wall length in millimetres and divide by 900 (this allows 850mm for the locker plus 50mm spacing). This gives a conservative estimate. Contact us with your floor plan for a precise layout recommendation.
