Buyer ToolsSteel Locker Size and Price Guide India — 1, 2, 4 and 6-Door Lockers
Before you order steel lockers for a school, hotel, factory or office, two questions decide everything else: what size each compartment needs to be, and what a locker costs. This guide gives the standard steel locker sizes used in India in mm and feet, how many doors fit a wall, indicative price ranges, and what pushes the price up or down.
Standard Steel Locker Sizes — Quick Answer
Most steel lockers in India are about 1800 mm (6 feet) tall and 450 mm (1.5 feet) deep, with each column about 300–380 mm (1 to 1.25 feet) wide. The number of doors comes from how that height is split into tiers.
| Locker type | Doors per column | Each compartment (H × W × D, approx.) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-door (single tier, full height) | 1 | 1800 × 300 × 450 mm (6 × 1 × 1.5 ft) | Uniforms on hangers, staff changing rooms, factories |
| 2-door (double tier) | 2 | 900 × 300 × 450 mm (3 × 1 × 1.5 ft) | Hotel and hospital staff, offices |
| 3-door (three tier) | 3 | 600 × 300 × 450 mm (2 × 1 × 1.5 ft) | Schools, colleges, gyms |
| 4-door (four tier) | 4 | 450 × 300 × 450 mm (1.5 × 1 × 1.5 ft) | Bags, books and personal items only |
Locker banks join several columns side by side. A 6-door locker is usually 3 columns of 2 tiers, and a 12-door locker is 3 columns of 4 tiers — about 900–1140 mm wide in total. Wider columns (380 mm) suit staff who hang a full uniform; 300 mm columns fit more lockers on a wall.

What Changes the Price of a Steel Locker
- Steel thickness. Thicker sheet costs more but resists dents and forced entry better — worth it in factories and busy changing rooms.
- Number of doors. More doors mean more hinges, locks and labour, so a 12-door bank costs more than a 6-door bank of the same size.
- Lock type. A padlock hasp is cheapest, a built-in key lock costs more, and digital or coin locks add the most per door.
- Fittings inside. Hanging rods, shelves, mirror plates, ventilation louvres and a sloping top to stop items being left on top all add a little.
- Colour and finish. Standard powder-coat colours are cheaper than special shades or two-tone finishes.
- Quantity. Bulk orders spread set-up costs, so the price per locker falls as the order grows.
How to Choose the Right Locker Size
- Start with what goes inside. Hanging uniforms need a full-height single-tier locker; shoes and a bag fit a 2-tier; books and a bag fit a 3 or 4-tier.
- Count the users per shift, not total staff. In hotels and factories, people on different shifts can sometimes share, but most sites give each person their own locker — see how many lockers you need.
- Measure the wall. Each 300 mm column holds 1 to 4 doors, so a 3-metre wall takes about 10 columns — 10 lockers in single tier, or 40 in four tier.
- Leave walking space. Allow at least 1.2 m in front of lockers in a busy changing room so doors can open while people pass.
- Fix them down. Full-height lockers should be bolted to the wall or floor, especially when the top tiers are loaded.
