meet the athletic build locker: the ultimate storage solution

Here at SHIELD, we’ve set a high bar for sports lockers. Now, we’re bringing that expertise to personal storage. Engineered to withstand the toughest conditions, the commercial lockers offer unmatched durability, functionality and style.

Let’s face it: basic storage solutions aren’t great. They’re flimsy, lack visual appeal or are not purpose made for the facility in which they will be placed. Crafted from heavy-duty materials, our commercial lockers stand up to daily use. With features like reinforced doors, secure locks and customizable set-ups, SHIELD’s commercial line provides reliable storage necessary for high performance settings.

The SHIELD commercial line includes three distinct builds; commercial, athletic and medical. Designed with the rigorous demands of first responders in mind, the athletic build can be used in any challenging environment. In this blog we will break down the features of the athletic build, showing how the robust design and top-tier construction make it the ultimate choice for durable and dependable storage.

What is the ATHLETIC LOCKER BUILD?

Glad you asked. A functional, yet cost-effective option, the athletic build is crafted with a laminate back while being clad in solid surface for the body, face, doors and shelving. Though we have spoken at length about how laminate alone often does not hold up, often succumbing to delamination, in combination with solid surface it can be the perfect option for storing essential items in demanding environments.

By strategically combining laminate with solid surface, we ensure the parts of the locker most susceptible to wear and tear are reinforced with the strongest materials, while allowing us to offer the product at a more accessible price point.

Ideal Uses

Professionals in demanding environments need secure storage for their equipment and personal belongings. Sure, you could just offer cubbies or standard metal lockers, but these solutions may not provide the durability, space or security necessary.

Our athletic build was created with the unique needs of first responders and other demanding professions in mind, ensuring access to spacious, secure and easy-to-use storage. While phenolic lockers have often been the go-to choice for durability, we offer something even better. SHIELD’s solid surface lockers are designed to not only match, but surpass the quality of phenolic lockers, bringing superior longevity, cleanability and aesthetics.

Providing top-tier storage is just one way to create a more attractive and efficient facility, which can draw more professionals into your team. No matter what high demand environment the athletic build ends up in, unmatched quality and reliability will be delivered.

What are the Benefits of the ATHLETIC Build?

Durability

Reinforced with solid surface, our athletic build resists strong impacts and wear and tear. These qualities are incredibly beneficial in high traffic areas where durability is essential. Made from robust materials, our lockers can withstand daily demands and potential collisions that come with  busy environments.

Cleanability

Though the athletic build includes both laminate and solid surface, the solid surface face is epoxy sealed, preventing moisture from seeping into the joints. When it’s time to clean, you can have peace of mind knowing the materials will keep their like-new qualities.

Cost Effective

Though solid surface alone is generally not a cheap option, deliberate use of laminate allows us to create a product that remains incredibly durable without breaking the bank. The long-lasting nature of the product means you will only be paying a one-time fee as opposed to constant replacements, providing budgetary relief and less environmental waste.
