5.2 Closing and Securing the Locker Door

1. Push the door firmly shut until the latch mechanism engages automatically.
2. To secure the locker, a padlock (sold separately) can be inserted through the designated hole in the recessed handle.

The recessed design of the handle helps prevent the padlock from being easily cut off and contributes to a neat, clean appearance.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your locker.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the locker surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the painted finish.
• Hinges and Latch: Periodically check hinges and the latch mechanism for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if any stiffness is observed.
• Anchoring: Regularly inspect the floor or wall anchors to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation louvers are not obstructed to maintain proper airflow within the locker.
