Are there rules about placing locker banks near fire exits?

Yes — locker banks cannot block required exit widths (typically 36 inches minimum clear width for corridors, 44 inches for higher-occupancy spaces). A locker bank placed along a corridor must leave the required egress width clear at all times, even with locker doors open. Locker doors that swing open into an exit path can be a code violation if they reduce egress width below minimums. Consider specifying lockers with recessed or no-swing door options (some pin-door designs open at a controlled angle). Always consult your local building code and fire marshal before finalizing a corridor locker installation. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
