OfficeSTOR proposed an innovative approach: using industrial shelving units with bespoke metal mesh doors and sides, offering a combination of strength, visibility, and security.

Key features of the solution included:

• Deep Shelving: Each shelving unit provided 800mm deep shelves, ideal for accommodating large, bulky hockey kit that wouldn't fit into traditional lockers or cupboards.
• Bespoke Mesh Sides and Doors: Welded mesh sides and doors (available in 25 x 25mm or 50 x 50mm mesh) provided a secure, see-through solution. The mesh was designed to align with the shelf spacing and securely riveted back to the frames, ensuring durability.
• Security Benefits: The visibility provided by mesh doors helped reduce the risk of break-ins. Since the contents were easily viewable, the mystery of what's inside was eliminated, leading to fewer attempts at theft or damage. The mesh structure itself also resisted tampering better than solid doors.
• Custom Colour Matching: To complement the club’s existing decor, OfficeSTOR provided colour-matched doors at no additional cost, enhancing the aesthetic appeal while maintaining functionality.
• Wall Fixings: For added safety and security, each shelving unit was securely fixed to the wall. This prevented potential break-ins from the rear and ensured the units wouldn’t topple over when fully loaded with heavy gear.
• Generous Locker Dimensions: Each completed mesh locker measured 700mm high by 900mm wide, providing ample space for the club’s equipment. The units were equipped with hasp and staple padlock fixings, allowing the club to use their own secure padlocks for easy access and peace of mind.

For schools or sports clubs looking for robust, secure storage that goes beyond traditional lockers or cupboards, OfficeSTOR’s industrial shelving units with mesh doors and sides offer a practical and cost-effective solution. Our custom designs ensure durability, security, and peace of mind—ideal for large equipment that won’t fit into standard storage solutions.
