Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
What hinge types do office lockers use and which is more durable?
The two main hinge types on office lockers are continuous (piano) hinges and three-point hinges. Continuous hinges run the full height of the door and distribute stress evenly — they're very durable for heavy doors. Three-point hinges (top, middle, bottom of door) are the more traditional design and are adequate for standard office use. A full piano hinge is a stronger choice for high-use lockers or lockers with heavy doors (laminate-faced, for example). Inspect the hinge gauge — heavier gauge hinges resist bending from door abuse. For high-traffic environments (school hallways, large employee banks), continuous hinges are worth the small premium. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
