Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
What is the difference between a locker and a cubby storage unit?
Cubbies are open-front compartments — there are no doors, no locks, and no privacy. They're appropriate for shared non-sensitive items (shoes in an entryway, shared books, bins). Lockers have doors and locks, providing both security and privacy for personal belongings. Cubbies are cheaper and simpler; lockers cost more but serve completely different needs. In schools, cubbies work for younger children's non-sensitive classroom supplies; corridor lockers serve older students who need secure, personal storage. In offices, cubbies might work for shared team resources or break room personal containers; employee personal belongings need locked compartments. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
