Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
What are the pros and cons of combination locks on office lockers?
Combination locks (spin-dial or push-button) don't require key management — a major operational benefit for large locker deployments. The employee simply memorizes a code. Downsides: employees forget codes (requiring reset procedures), combination locks are generally slower to operate than key locks, and some users (elderly, disabled users, those with fine motor challenges) find combination locks more difficult. Push-button combination locks are faster than spin-dial. For highest accessibility, electronic PIN pads are the modern equivalent without the mechanical fiddle of a traditional combination lock. For environments with high turnover, resettable combination locks (where facilities can change the code without re-keying) are particularly practical. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
