Lockers for hotels, changing rooms, gyms, spas and public facilities
Lockers for hotels and public facilities are an essential solution to organise belongings, clothing, personal items, equipment and work material in locker rooms, staff areas, gyms, spas, pools, sports centres, companies, care homes and any type of professional facility.
At Todo Para Tu Hotel you will find a range of storage solutions designed for heavy-duty use, with metal, phenolic, resin, melamine and other finishes, available in multiple formats, sizes and configurations.
Choosing the right locker requires considering the installation location, humidity level, frequency of use, number of users, locking system and maintenance needs.
How to choose lockers for a hotel or public facility
Not every facility needs the same type of locker. Staff changing rooms, spas, pools and gyms have very different requirements.
Before selecting lockers we recommend analysing:
- Type of user.
- Frequency of use.
- Humidity level.
- Available space.
- Number of users.
- Size of items to be stored.
- Locking system.
- Need for ventilation.
- Cleaning options.
- Required durability.
- Potential for future expansion.

Metal lockers for changing rooms and staff
Metal lockers are one of the most commonly used options in staff changing rooms, companies, hotels, educational centres and public facilities.
Their robust construction withstands frequent use and they are available in many configurations according to the number of doors, sections and compartments required.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Staff changing rooms.
- Hotels.
- Companies.
- Hospitals.
- Educational centres.
- Warehouses.
- Sports centres.
- Public facilities.
Phenolic lockers for wet areas
Phenolic lockers are especially suitable for installations exposed to frequent humidity.
For this reason they are widely used in:
- Spas.
- Pools.
- Gyms.
- Sports changing rooms.
- Wellness centres.
- Thermal facilities.
Before selecting a locker for a wet area, always check that the chosen materials and components are appropriate for the actual operating conditions.
Resin and plastic lockers
Lockers made from plastics or resins provide an excellent solution when resistance to moisture and easy maintenance are required.
This type of locker is a good option for pools, sports centres, changing rooms and other facilities where the environmental conditions are more demanding than in dry indoor areas.
Melamine lockers
Melamine lockers combine functionality with an appearance closer to conventional furniture.
They are especially suitable for offices, work areas, staff zones and dry changing rooms, and for projects where visual finish is important.
Depending on the collection, they may be available in several finishes and colours to blend with the interior design.
Lockers for hotels
A hotel may require lockers in many different areas.
Common applications include:
- Staff changing rooms.
- Spas.
- Gyms.
- Pools.
- Wellness areas.
- Internal storage rooms.
- Staff areas.
- Receptions and luggage storage.
For this reason we do not recommend using a single solution for the entire property. Each area should be assessed individually to select the most suitable material, format and locking system.
Lockers for staff changing rooms
Staff changing rooms require sturdy, practical structures that are easy to use every day.
Depending on the establishment, space may be needed for street clothes, uniforms, footwear, bags and personal items.
In these cases consider both the width of each compartment and its internal layout and locking system.
Lockers for gyms
Gym lockers must withstand a high turnover of users and frequent openings throughout the day.
For this type of facility we recommend paying special attention to:
- Resistance to intensive use.
- Ease of cleaning.
- Type of locking system.
- Ventilation.
- Compartment dimensions.
- Humidity conditions.
Lockers for spas and wellness centres
In spas and wellness centres humidity strongly influences material selection.
Lockers must be suitable for the facility’s environmental conditions while integrating with the space’s aesthetic.
Phenolic solutions and specific humidity-resistant configurations are especially relevant for such projects.
Lockers for pools
Pools require solutions that perform reliably in high-humidity environments.
Apart from the door and body material, it is important to check fittings, locks and other components to ensure the complete configuration is appropriate for the intended environment.
Lockers for sports centres
Sports centres can combine different requirements within a single facility: changing rooms, wet areas, staff zones and storage spaces.
A well-planned project can use several locker types according to each area, achieving greater durability and a better user experience.
Lockers for companies and workplaces
In offices, factories, logistics centres and businesses, lockers provide each worker with a personal space to store belongings.
Metal and melamine configurations are common in these projects, depending on usage level, interior aesthetics and budget.
Lockers for hospitals, care homes and healthcare facilities
Hospitals, clinics and care homes also need lockers for staff changing rooms and internal areas.
In large facilities it is important to consider modular solutions that allow organising a high number of users and expanding the project later if needed.
Lockers for schools, universities and residences
Educational centres need robust solutions capable of withstanding intensive and continuous use.
Selection should consider the user profile, required dimensions, locking system and overall durability.
Locking systems for lockers
The same locker can accommodate different locking systems depending on the model and project.
Common options include:
- Key lock.
- Padlock hasp.
- Coin-operated lock.
- Numeric code lock.
- Electronic lock.
- RFID systems depending on configuration.
Choose according to the number of users, required control and frequency of use. The current category already includes different locking options, from key and padlock to code or RFID.

Smart lockers and electronic locker systems
For projects seeking a higher level of automation there are also Smart lockers.
These solutions enable electronic access management to compartments and are especially useful in hotels, receptions, luggage storage and facilities operating self-service systems.
The new generation of Smart lockers also allows modular projects tailored to each property, with different compartment sizes and management systems.
How many doors should a locker have?
The number of doors depends on available space and the items to be stored.
A single-door locker offers a larger compartment, while multi-door configurations significantly increase the number of users served in the same footprint.
Before choosing consider:
- Total number of users.
- Size of clothing or items.
- Need to hang garments.
- Available space.
- User turnover.
What size locker should you choose?
A locker that is too small can be inconvenient, while one that is too large can waste space and raise project costs unnecessarily.
The correct size depends mainly on what will be stored inside.
For example, an employee who needs to store a uniform, coat and shoes requires a different configuration than a gym user who only keeps a backpack for an hour.
Ventilation in lockers
In changing rooms and areas where clothing or footwear are stored, adequate ventilation can be important.
Depending on the model, lockers may include ventilation systems that help reduce moisture build-up inside.
Customisation of colours and finishes
Many configurations allow selecting different finishes, colours and door counts, a feature that is already part of the category offering.
This option is particularly interesting in hotels, spas and gyms where lockers are a visible element of interior design.
