Standard product

Choose by the largest item and the clear compartment width, depth and height, not by door count alone. Small covers 80 × 80 × 200 to 200 × 200 × 200 mm, Medium 100 × 100 × 300 to 300 × 400 × 300 mm, Large 400 × 400 × 500 to 600 × 600 × 600 mm, and Extra Large 600 × 600 × 600 to 600 × 600 × 1800 mm. The final cabinet layout is confirmed on a drawing.

Yes, on any body in the range, and it can be done later without replacing the steel — a battery keypad lock drops into the same cam lock cut-out. Order it fitted and the locker arrives with codes ready to set; retrofit it in a few minutes per door with a screwdriver. Connected access is a step further and is quoted rather than listed: electronic latches need a controller and a socket at the end of the bank, which a catalogue cannot assume your room has.

Bodies ship assembled and welded, which is stronger and quicker to install, so the only real question is whether the bank fits through your doors, lift and stair turns — send us the tightest point and we will check it. Where it will not pass, the same sizes ship knocked down and bolt together in the room. On site we need a reasonably level floor and a wall to fix back to; a plain locker needs no power and no network at all.

Send the largest item to be stored and the available width, depth and height. We can confirm whether a standard size and layout fit or whether a made-to-order drawing is needed. Lead time and price are confirmed with the selected configuration.

It is, if the electrical design is right and the cabinet is not treated as a dumping ground for damaged batteries. Every unit we supply has a circuit breaker and overload protection on the incoming supply, per-port current limiting so one faulty device trips its own bay rather than the whole cabinet, a thermostatic cooling fan, and ventilation slots in every door. On the made-to-opening cabinets we also fit a bi-metallic cut-out that drops the whole unit at around 65 °C and resets itself once it cools. What the specification cannot do is cover a swollen battery someone put in anyway — take damaged devices out of service, do not stack two in one bay, and keep the ventilation clear. Those three practical rules matter more than any datasheet line.

It is not an edge case — it is the most common call any charging locker generates, and every unit is specified around it. Production models with a touchscreen have an administrator PIN that opens any bay from the same screen. Keypad models and the made-to-opening cabinets have a mechanical master key override on every single door. We do not supply a lock of any kind without an override, because the alternative is forcing a door, which destroys it, and it will happen in the first month.

You can — coin, contactless card, or a QR code the user scans and pays on their own phone, with the minutes per payment set at the unit. Whether you should depends on why it is there. In a restaurant, bar or hotel it works and it is normal. In an office, a clinic or a school it does not: you would be charging your own staff, patients or students for something that costs you a few dollars of electricity a year, and the resentment is worth more than the revenue. A good test — if the person using it is already paying you for something else, make the charging free.

On the production models, roughly 30 bays per metre of wall from the widest bodies, and about 65 per metre if you stack two high. On the made-to-opening cabinets it is about 125 bays per metre, because they are 400 mm square towers rather than shallow wall boxes. That gap is the whole reason both routes exist: at 200 bays, production models need about 4.1 m of wall stacked two high, and made-to-opening needs 1.66 m. Send a wall width and a height limit and we will lay both out against it.

The production models do not, and we would rather say so than blur it. They run their own onboard controller, entirely self-contained — which is a genuine advantage in that there is no network, no subscription and nothing of ours to fail, but it also means no central dashboard, no access log across sites, and no automatic billing. Where those matter, the answer is a made-to-opening bank with our own latches and controller fitted, which puts the charging cabinet on the same platform as the rest of your lockers. That is a build, not a catalogue purchase, and it is quoted as one.

Yes, and it is a common request — a bank of small locked cells with no supply at all is the cheapest way to get phones out of a room, and it is a different purchase from a charging locker. That is what the high-density steel cells further down this page are: 12 to 84 cells per bank, keyed or keypad, with a 230 V socket in every cell, in some of them, or in none. If the requirement is simply that phones are not in the exam hall or on the production floor, start there rather than with a charging model.

From two weeks for production models, subject to stock, including delivery and installation in Singapore. Made-to-opening cabinets sit at the top of our six to ten week made-to-order range, typically eight to ten, because tooling and a first-article sample have to be produced and signed off before a run starts. If a date is fixed and close, that difference usually decides the route on its own — say so early and we will quote what can actually land.

They are a consumable and should be budgeted as one — plan on replacing them every twelve to eighteen months in a public location, sooner at a busy venue. On production models the cable is changed at the bay. On the made-to-opening cabinets it is a quick-release grommet: open the full-height rear door, release the clip, pull the old cable, click the new one in, about ten seconds a bay with no tools and nothing dismantled. Ask for spare cables to be quoted as a line item and for a supply commitment in years, because a locker with dead cables in half its bays is worse than no locker.

They overlap but they are not the same purchase. A handphone locker — the usual term in Singapore and Malaysia, and mobile phone locker in tender documents — is a bank of small steel cells for keeping phones out of a room, and it may have no power in it at all. A charging locker is one where each bay has a cable and a supply, so the device comes back charged. If your requirement is simply that phones are not in the exam hall or on the production floor, look at the non-charging cells on the family page first: they are substantially cheaper and they solve that problem completely.

Every phone bay in the range takes a current handset in a chunky case; that is the baseline, not the limit. Beyond that it varies a lot — the deepest phone bay is 132 mm and the shallowest is 52 mm, which is the difference between swallowing a small tablet and just taking a phone laid flat. Tablets and laptops need the device bodies, where a bay runs to 448 × 328 mm. Tell us the largest device that has to fit, with its case on, and we will size from that rather than from a model number.

One standard 13 A wall socket per unit, and nothing else. Every model in the range runs on AC 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz and draws between 350 and 500 W at full load, so there is no switchboard work, no dedicated circuit and no M&E provision to coordinate. The only thing worth planning is not putting four units on one extension block — give each one its own socket.
