Elite Three Door Coin Return Locker with Sloping Top — Red

This three-door locker from Elite is a powder coated steel storage unit intended for staff changing rooms, back-of-house areas, and similar environments where secure, individual storage is needed. Each of the three compartments is secured with a coin return mechanism — compatible with the current British £1 coin — which removes the need for padlocks and simplifies day-to-day access management for operators and staff alike.

In practice, these lockers hold up well in the kind of high-traffic changing environments common to commercial catering and hospitality operations, where units are in near-constant use across shift changes. The steel frame construction with reinforced doors is built to resist the everyday knocks that come with busy staff areas, and the powder coated finish is reasonably straightforward to wipe down during routine cleaning.

A few features are worth noting for operators running hygiene-critical environments:

• Anti-bacterial coating provides protection against MRSA and E-coli transmission
• Sloping top design discourages bag storage above eye level, reducing a common manual handling hazard
• Sloping top also prevents dust and clutter accumulating on top of the unit
• Pre-drilled nesting holes allow units to be fixed to walls for added stability when banks of lockers are installed together
• Coin return mechanism removes the ongoing cost and admin of issuing padlocks or keys

Installation is straightforward — these are freestanding units that can be wall-fixed using the pre-drilled points if required. At 23.5kg per unit, they are manageable for two people to position. The 300mm depth is relatively compact, which makes them a practical option where floor space is limited. Bear in mind that for very large sites or high staff headcounts, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity configuration would be more efficient than running multiple smaller banks.

This locker is well suited to catering businesses, hospitality venues, food production facilities, and any operation where staff need secure personal storage in a hygiene-conscious environment. The red finish is a powder coated option and should be considered if colour-coding areas or matching an existing scheme.
