First Responder Lockers

Due to increased awareness of the global threat of terrorism and the need for heightened security, there is now a wide array of body gear, communication devices, and weaponry needed by our country's first responders. You need a first responder locker that will meet the storage needs, but that will stand the test of time. Here are some different types of first responder lockers.

Traditional First Responder Lockers

These lockers are available in also types of sizes and styles. You want a welded construction to make sure it's durable, but security is also an issue. Many have an interior security compartment that is lockable. A top shelf that is the width of the locker adds extra space. Pegboard on the back of panel of the door helps with extra space as well. A separate uniform compartment will ensure clothes are not damaged. A strong bench at the bottom gives a place for personnel to sit or to tie their shoes. Look for these features in a first responder locker to ensure you're getting the best deal for your money.

Turn Out Lockers

There are times when a turnout locker with an open front works better than a closed and locked locker, depending on where the lockers will be stored. These lockers have the same welded construction and heavy gauge parts. Many will have options for a clothing rod and mirror. These lockers must stand up to the day-to-day wear and tear of constant use.

Personnel Lockers

You want durability and security in a personnel locker, even more so than in typical high school lockers or college lockers. However, you'll also want the extra features of an optional clothing rod and a good ventilation system. Choose all welded construction and those that have a full door hinge for the best security.

Many government agencies need specialty lockers. These may include police evidence lockers. Many times, an entire criminal case is based upon evidence stored in these lockers. There must be no compromise as to the quality of construction or to the security. For this reason, you must ensure the lockers are of the highest quality and offer the best in security features.

Evidence Lockers

Most evidence lockers are available in two styles. The pass through locker allows an officer to place evidence in one site and then close the door, which immediately locks. The property room officer can then open the other side of the locker in the property room, without compromising any of the evidence. Since the chain of evidence must be preserved at all costs, these lockers provide the most security by limiting access to only those that have a key.

The other type of evidence locker has one door per compartment. When the locker is not in use, the door remains open. Once something is placed inside, the officer only has to turn the handle for the door to look. The evidence officer has a master key that will access the compartment so he can college the evidence. The handle is released so the compartment is ready for the next time it's needed.

Gear Storage Lockers

A gear storage locker is a great way to store different items until they are needed. With the ventilated and mesh sides, these locker storage systems make it easy to tell what is inside, but the door securely locks to keep those out that don't have the right to be in it. These lockers come in a wide variety of sizes and with options such as additional shelving or pegboard backs.

In Closing

First responder lockers must be secure, durable, and affordable. This is one purchase you certainly don't want to make repeatedly because the last one fell apart. Now is the time to be sure all arms, gear, and other supplies are stored safely and securely.
