A double-width locker is two columns of compartments joined into one bank, sharing a centre upright and a single pair of end panels. That shared structure is why it is the cheapest way per compartment to put lockers against a wall — and it is also the format most often mis-quoted, because of how door counts are written.
Tier, nest and bank — and the trap in the door count
-
Tier — compartments stacked vertically in one column. "10 tier" and "10 door" mean the same thing.
-
Nest — columns joined side by side. Double width is a nest of two; triple width is a nest of three.
-
Bank — the assembled unit as it arrives.
Door count is quoted per column. A 10-door double-width locker is ten compartments in each of two columns — twenty compartments in total. An 8-door double is sixteen; a 6-door double is twelve. Every per-compartment figure below is worked out on the true total, and it is worth insisting a competitor does the same before you compare two quotations.
What is available in double width
Twelve configurations, and the door counts are narrower than the range as a whole:
-
Tiers: 6, 8 and 10 per column only. There is no 2, 3, 4 or 5-door double-width locker — those door counts exist in triple width and, at 1 to 4 and 6 tiers, in single width.
-
Ranges: Standard Metric (6 configurations) and Standard Imperial (6). There is no double-width vision panel and no double-width perforated locker — perforated is triple width only.
-
Tops: flat or sloping on every configuration.

The £801.18 entry price is the second most expensive locker on this page per compartment. The cheapest per compartment — £52.89 — is the £1,057.87 metric 10-tier, which costs £256.69 more up front and gives eight more compartments. If you are buying capacity rather than a single bay, read the right-hand column, not the left.
Two more things the table shows. The sloping top costs a flat £49.54 to £49.55 on every double-width bank — two columns at £24.77 each, the same per-column fee that applies across the whole Probe range. And the imperial premium is real: like for like, imperial runs 20% above metric, so specify metric unless you are matching an existing 1780 mm imperial installation. Our imperial page sets out the 38-pair proof and the height and depth consequences of mixing the two.
Specification
Cold-rolled mild steel, powder-coated, formed rather than welded; 1800 mm on the metric units and 1780 mm on the imperial; a Type A cam lock on every compartment, with no hasp, padlock, coin-return or electronic option in the range; 21 carcass-and-door colour combinations at one price; UK manufactured by Probe. No warranty period, lead time, stock status or steel gauge is stated in the product data — obtain all four at quotation.
