How ProGuard Tenant Lockers Fit The Room

ProGuard tenant storage lockers give each resident a separate lockable compartment within a shared room. Steel angle frames hold the wire mesh, and adjoining lockers share dividers. Single-tier lockers provide one tall compartment; double-tier lockers divide that height into two independently accessed spaces.

The useful layout depends on more than locker count. Leave room for aisles and door swings, check pipes and columns, and decide whether existing walls can form the backs. Then choose sizes, locks, finish, ceilings, and shelves. You can work through a layout in the design studio and send it to us for a dimension and component review.

A closer look at the construction

Mesh Welded To The Angle Frame

The view from inside the locker shows how the welded wire mesh attaches to the steel-angle panel frame.

  1. 1Mesh-to-frame welds. The mesh overlaps the flat leg of the angle and is welded to the frame.
  2. 2Overlapping wire layers. Straight wires sit on top of one another and are welded at their crossings. Standard mesh is 10 ga., 2 in. × 2 in.
  3. 3Inside-facing angle leg. The open side of the 1¼ in. × 1¼ in. × ⅛ in. angle frame faces the locker interior.

Welds are highlighted for visibility; weld size and spacing are not specified by this illustration.

Shared panels in a locker row

Starter First Add-On Units Extend The Run

Adjoining lockers share dividers. The room layout determines the number of starter units, add-ons, end panels, and wall connections.

Typical starter/add-on concept. Approved project dimensions take precedence over dimensions visible in a typical detail.
01

Starter Unit

Establishes the first complete opening in the run, including the beginning/end condition shown on the layout. It gives the installer the fixed starting point for alignment.

02

Add-On Unit

Extends the run beside the starter. Adjoining lockers share the scheduled partition or connection frame, which avoids duplicating a full side at every opening.

03

Final End Condition

The last opening still needs the correct return, divider, or wall closure. Corners, offsets, doors, and changes in depth can restart the logic.

04

Why A Layout Matters

The same opening count can require a different bill of material when the lockers form multiple rows, change depth, back up to one another, or stop at different walls.

Single tier

One Full-Height Compartment

One door serves one tall compartment. This is the better starting point for residents storing taller items or when uninterrupted vertical space matters more than the number of openings.

Backs, ceilings, shelves, and supporting parts

Add Only What The Room And Each Compartment Need

An existing wall may close the back of a locker, or the system can include its own back. Ceiling panels close the top, shelves organize the interior, and supporting parts complete larger or less typical layouts. Select any illustration below to open the larger drawing.

Door panel

Factory-Prehung Access

Angle-framed mesh door in a four-sided outer frame, with three spun-pin hinges, door stops, and the selected lock preparation.

Front return

Locker Side At The Aisle

Forms the locker side from the door line toward the back. A 2-inch vertical flat at the front edge connects to the door or front panel; the remaining frame uses 1¼-inch angle.

Back return

Rear Side Extension

Extends the locker side when one return panel is not deep enough. It uses 1¼-inch angle on all four sides and joins the front return angle-to-angle.

Front panel

Fixed Infill Beside A Door

Completes an extra-wide locker face or an opening arrangement that cannot be made with the door frame alone.

Mesh is partly omitted in this detail to show the connections.
Back panel

Choose How Tenants And Management Will Operate The Door

The standard padlock hasp is simple and economical. A Marks 3700 Series mortise lockset is available when the project needs keyed operation, interchangeable-core planning, controlled keying, or alternate interior hardware.

An ADA-related low-threshold entrance and lever option can be reviewed for the locker door. The architect and project team must confirm the complete accessible route, maneuvering clearance, hardware, opening force, and applicable code requirements.

Review The Locker Assembly Sequence

The drawings below are representative NWW details. The approved project drawing controls panel order, dimensions, connections, anchors, and designated hardware.

1. Establish the runSnap a chalk line, locate the first return, plumb it, and use anchors approved for the existing wall.
2. Build the first openingAlign prepunched frames, install carriage bolts and KEP nuts hand-tight, then square the door opening.
3. Extend and stiffenAdd panels in the scheduled order, keep connections adjustable, and install stiffener channels where shown.
4. Close the rearInstall scheduled rear panels when the room wall is not the approved secure boundary.
5. Add the top closureSet the ceiling on the scheduled support angles and coordinate overhead clearance and building services.
6. Install shelves and hardwareLevel every support, center the shelf, align the hasp or lock, and test every door before turnover.
Field safety and coordination

Before drilling, verify the wall and floor substrates and locate concealed utilities, reinforcing, and post-tensioning. Coordinate accessibility, egress, sprinklers, lighting, ventilation, and required clearances with the project team and authority having jurisdiction. Security ceilings and shelves are not walking surfaces.

Built for apartments and condominiums

Turn One Shared Room Into Organized, Private Storage

Each resident gets a separate lockable compartment. The open wire design lets building management see through the enclosure and helps the room retain light and airflow.

The modular system can follow walls, turn corners, work around columns and piping, and make practical use of rooms that are not perfectly square. Newark Wire Works helps determine what the room needs—you do not have to design every panel yourself.

See through the enclosureHelps management inspect the room and helps light and air move through it.
Use shared dividersAdd-on units make a row efficient without duplicating every adjoining panel.
Adapt the layoutStandard modules can be coordinated with walls, columns, piping, and uneven room geometry.
Choose the closureAdd backs, ceiling panels, floor panels, or shelves only where the project calls for them.

Frequently asked questions

Common Locker Layout And Installation Questions

What is the difference between a starter and an add-on unit?

The starter establishes the first complete locker condition in a run. Add-ons extend that run and share the adjoining divider or connection condition shown on the approved layout. A new row, corner, offset, or change in depth can change the required component count.

Do lockers need back panels?

Not always. An approved existing wall may form the rear boundary. Add back panels when there is no suitable wall, when the locker is freestanding, or when the required security boundary cannot rely on the existing construction.

How much clearance is needed above a ceiling panel?

Allow workable space for installation and coordinate structure, lights, sprinklers, piping, and ventilation. A 3-to-5-inch space may be a useful planning starting point in some rooms, but the approved design and authority having jurisdiction control the final arrangement.

Are shelves and floor panels available?

Yes. Shelves, ceiling panels, back panels, and floor panels can be included where scheduled. Send the desired shelf elevation, material, size, and intended use so the correct support and construction can be reviewed.

Can Newark Wire Works make custom sizes?

Yes. Standard planning sizes are the fastest starting point, but layouts can include custom widths, depths, heights, tiers, front panels, and multi-panel returns when the room requires them.

Can the locker use a keyed lock instead of a padlock?

Yes. The padlock hasp is standard. Marks 3700 Series lockset options can support keyed, interchangeable-core, and alternate interior-hardware requirements when selected and coordinated during quotation.

Does wire mesh automatically satisfy sprinkler or building-code requirements?

No single product statement can establish compliance for every building. Mesh visibility and airflow can help coordination, but the architect, fire-protection designer, code official, and authority having jurisdiction must approve the full room design.

Can Newark Wire Works install the lockers?

Installation availability can be reviewed with the quotation. Provide the project location, schedule, access restrictions, substrate information, working hours, and any prevailing-wage or site-specific requirements.
