Elite Eight Door Coin Return Locker – Blue Powder Coated Steel

This freestanding eight-door locker unit from Elite provides individual secure storage compartments within a single welded steel frame. Each door is fitted with a coin return mechanism compatible with the current £1 coin, so users retrieve their coin when they vacate the compartment. There are no keys to issue, track, or replace — which removes a routine administrative overhead in any busy workplace or catering operation.

The frame is welded rather than bolted, which gives the unit a degree of rigidity that holds up well under the kind of daily wear you would expect in a staff changing area or back-of-house corridor. The blue powder-coat finish carries an antibacterial treatment resistant to E. coli and MRSA, which is a practical consideration in food-handling environments and anywhere hygiene compliance is formally required. The finish itself is straightforward to wipe down at the end of a shift.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Coin return lock removes the need for key administration entirely
• Antibacterial powder-coat supports hygiene compliance in catering environments
• Pre-drilled rear fixing points allow secure wall-mounting in high-footfall areas
• Welded construction and plinth base contribute to long-term rigidity
• Eight compartments within a single frame keeps the floor footprint contained

The 300mm depth is worth noting before you order. The compartments are well suited to clothing, personal effects, and small bags, but are not designed for bulky items such as large rucksacks or oversized equipment. Wall-fixing via the pre-drilled rear points is advisable wherever the unit will see regular use. It will sit flush against most walls without projecting significantly into walkways.

This unit is a practical choice for catering and hospitality operations, schools, leisure facilities, and any workplace where staff need reliable personal storage without key-based systems. For sites needing a greater number of doors in a single bank, or where deeper compartments would better suit the items being stored, alternative configurations are available within the range.

If you are planning a staff area layout and want to work through how many units you will need, we are happy to help you think it through before you commit to an order.
