6-Door Lockers

A 6-door locker packs six compartments into a single full-height bay, making it one of the most space-efficient ways to give a large number of people their own secure storage. It's a go-to for big changing rooms, schools, leisure centres and high-turnover workplaces where headcount is high and floor space is tight.

These UK-made Probe lockers are available in flat-top and sloping-top styles, in double and triple-width nests, and with perforated doors for ventilation where damp kit and PPE are stored. Bodies are cold-rolled mild steel with a powder-coated finish and a Type A cam lock on every compartment as standard.

Six-door units suit short-stay, high-frequency use — somewhere to stow a bag and valuables rather than hang a full-length coat. If users need more room per compartment, step down to 2 or 4-door; for the highest density, see 8, 10 and 16-door configurations.

6 tier, 6 door, 6 compartment — the same thing

Locker terminology is inconsistent across the trade, and it makes specifying harder than it needs to be. A 6 tier locker, a 6 door locker and a 6 compartment locker all describe the same thing: 6 individually lockable compartments stacked in a single column.

• Tier counts the levels in one column — so every listing on this page is 6 tier.
• Nest counts the columns joined side by side. A nest of 2 is what we list as double width; a nest of 3 is triple width; a nest of 1 is single width.
• Bank is the complete assembled unit as delivered. A 6 tier, nest of 3 is a 18-compartment bank.

Nested columns share internal carcass walls, which is why the cost per compartment falls as the nest widens — you buy one set of ends rather than three. It also means a nest cannot be split later, so plan the full run before ordering.

Eleven listings across single, double and triple width. Six-door is the only door count stocked across all four standard Probe families — standard metric, standard imperial, Vision Panel and perforated.

6 door locker FAQs

What is a 6 door locker?

A 6 door locker is a single full-height column divided into 6 individually lockable compartments. The trade also calls it a 6 tier or 6 compartment locker; all three terms describe the same thing.

What is the difference between tier, nest and bank?

Tier counts the levels in one column, nest counts the columns joined side by side (double width is a nest of 2, triple width a nest of 3), and bank is the complete assembled unit as delivered. A 6 tier locker in a nest of 3 is a 18-compartment bank.

Can I split a nested locker bank later?

No. Nested columns share internal carcass walls, which is why the cost per compartment falls as the nest widens, but it also means a nest cannot be split afterwards. Plan the full run before ordering.

What are these lockers made from, and how do they lock?

They come from the UK-made Probe range: cold-rolled mild-steel bodies with a powder-coated finish. Every compartment is fitted with a Type A cam lock as standard.

Should I choose a flat top or a sloping top?

Flat tops allow stacking or a shelf above the bank. Sloping tops keep the top of a public bank clear of litter and dust.

Where do 6 door lockers work best?

Six-door units suit short-stay, high-frequency use in big changing rooms, schools, leisure centres and high-turnover workplaces: somewhere to stow a bag and valuables rather than hang a full-length coat. If users need more room per compartment, step down to 2 or 4 door.

Which Probe families include a 6 door locker?

Six-door is the only door count stocked across all four standard Probe families: standard metric, standard imperial, Vision Panel and perforated.

What are perforated and Vision Panel doors for?

Perforated doors add ventilation where damp kit and PPE are stored. Vision Panel doors let you check the contents of a compartment without opening it.
