Since the rise of hot-desking, flexible working and the hybrid model, lockers have become an integral part of the office, providing a necessary storage space employees can utilise when coming into the office.

An often-overlooked part of the locker strategy is how these lockers are managed.

Forgotten Codes and Keys

Mechanical keys and codes can easily be forgotten, and this means time and money must be spent on purchasing master keys and override codes. Many instances like this could become an ongoing problem, so a more practical solution would be to choose a digital or smart locking strategy which offers over-ride codes or a platform in which emergency opening of lockers can be administered. 

Which Lock means which Management System?

The three main categories of locks have varying managment experiences. 

Mechanical Locks

This locking choice offers no technological management system meaning that keys and codes require a large amount of manual administration. 

Digital Locks

These locks offer slightly more convenient management features, such as code over-rides which can be generated when employees forget their individual codes. 

RFID Locks

The most technologically integrated system, management can be administered through software where details of locker utilisation and audit trails can be tracked. Flexible options to switch users, add employees, open lockers in an emergency and change from self-serve to assigned.
