Elite Three Door Coin Return Locker – Black Powder Coated

This three-door coin return locker from Elite Lockers is a freestanding steel storage unit designed for staff changing and personal storage areas in commercial environments. Each of the three individual compartments is secured by a coin return mechanism, which means no keys to manage or replace — users insert a coin to lock and retrieve it on exit. The unit is finished in black powder coated steel and carries an anti-bacterial coating tested against MRSA and E. coli, making it appropriate for sites where hygiene standards are formally managed.

In busy catering and food production environments, locker banks take considerable punishment — doors are opened and closed hundreds of times daily, and surfaces are regularly wiped down with commercial cleaning agents. The reinforced doors and powder coated steel construction are well suited to this kind of sustained use, and the anti-bacterial finish holds up to routine disinfection without degrading under normal cleaning protocols.

From an operational standpoint, this locker offers a number of practical advantages for catering and hospitality operators:

• Coin return locking requires no key management or ongoing lock replacements
• Compatible with the current British £1 coin
• Anti-bacterial coating supports HACCP-compliant changing area hygiene policies
• Pre-drilled nesting holes allow wall-fixing for improved stability in high-traffic areas
• Flat top surface allows units to be stacked or used as a shelf where layout permits

Installation is straightforward. The unit is freestanding but benefits from wall-fixing using the pre-drilled holes, particularly in areas with high footfall where stability matters. At 22.5 kg, it can be positioned by two people without specialist equipment. The 300mm depth keeps the footprint compact, which helps in narrow changing rooms or corridors where space is at a premium. No electrical or plumbing connections are required.

This locker is well suited to catering operations, food production facilities, hotel back-of-house areas, and any site where staff are required to store personal belongings away from food preparation zones. The three-door configuration makes it a practical choice for smaller teams or as part of a larger bank of units. For larger sites requiring higher-capacity storage arrangements, wider or taller configurations may be worth considering.

If you're fitting out a changing area and want to make sure the layout and locker specification works for your team size and room dimensions, we're happy to talk it through.
