Getting The Best Bike Locker For Your Needs
Consider the following factors when choosing the best bike storage locker for your space:
Size & Capacity
Our bike lockers come in different sizes and are able to accommodate different types of bikes, including mountain bikes and e-bikes. Consider the locker’s dimensions, so it fits the intended type of bike! Some lockers are designed to store one bike per unit, while others can accommodate multiple bikes.
Door & Cladding Finish
Although transparent claddings like mesh or polycarbonate, are relatively strong and budget-friendly, the fact they are see-through can be a problem when thieves are involved. Sheet cladding has the benefit of being much stronger, whilst providing no view onto the locker's contents. For a locker that shelters just from the elements, choose one with no door.
Installation Method
Depending on the level of security needed, most of our range can be installed using a bolt-down or cast-in method. Cast-in methods are the longest-term, most durable solution.
Maintenance
Maintenance requirements can vary based on the material and design, so choose lockers that fit your abilities. Bear in mind that mesh can be very difficult to keep clean, and also allows litter to pass through.
Budget
The cost of bike lockers can vary widely based on material, size, security features, and customisation options. While metal lockers tend to be more expensive due to their higher security, mesh and polycarbonate lockers offer a more budget-friendly alternative with good protection. Consider the long-term value, including maintenance and potential replacements of the locker, as well as the value of the bikes being stored!
Locking Mechanism
Does your bike locker need an integrated locking system? The most secure bike lockers feature in-built locks like key locks, combination locks, or electronic access systems, whereas others require the user to bring their own padlock. Consider the level of security needed and choose a locking mechanism that is easy to use and that provides durable protection.
Accessories
Bike lockers can benefit from a range of accessories, such as racks, lamps and signage!
