About accessible lockers
Creating environments that are usable by everyone is a fundamental principle of good design. In public buildings, workplaces, schools and recreation facilities, this means ensuring that key amenities and storage areas can be comfortably used by people with a wide range of mobility and accessibility needs.
Lockin’s Accessible Locker range has been developed to support inclusive facility design and help project teams deliver environments that work for everyone.
Accessible design is now an established expectation in Australian building projects. Standards such as AS1428 Design for Access and Mobility and the National Construction Code (NCC) guide the design of accessible toilets, change rooms, circulation spaces and other shared facilities.
Storage is often overlooked within these environments, yet lockers are a core part of many public and workplace amenities.
Including accessible lockers within a locker installation ensures that people who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids - as well as those with reduced reach, dexterity or vision - can use the same facilities comfortably and independently.
Just as accessible toilets, showers and circulation spaces are incorporated into modern buildings, accessible storage should form part of a well-considered, inclusive fit-out.
Providing accessible lockers from the outset also helps future-proof facilities by ensuring they remain usable for a diverse range of occupants and visitors over time.
Accessible lockers are designed to support a wide range of users, including people living with:
- wheelchairs or mobility aids
- reduced reach or upper-body strength
- limited dexterity
- low vision
- older users or those living with temporary injuries
Thoughtful locker design helps ensure that everyone can store belongings securely and access them independently.
Accessible lockers are designed with reach, height and depth considerations that support easier access and usability. This may include:
- locker compartments positioned within accessible reach ranges
- reduced compartment depths where required
- accessible locking options
- clear identification and signage
- layouts that support accessible circulation in change rooms and locker areas
These design considerations help ensure lockers can be comfortably used by people with a variety of mobility and accessibility needs.
Lockin’s Accessible Locker range has been developed in consultation with accessibility specialists Equal Access to support inclusive facility design.
The range includes coordinated products for accessible environments, including:
- accessible locker configurations
- accessible locking options
- signage and identification
- accessories and seating designed to complement accessible change room layout
Our team can assist architects and project designers in configuring locker layouts that support accessible facility planning while maintaining the aesthetic and functional requirements of the space.
Lockin accessible lockers are suitable for projects designed under Australian accessibility principles and may support facilities designed in accordance with:
AS1428 Design for Access and Mobility
National Construction Code (NCC) accessibility provisions
Disability Discrimination Act accessibility requirements
Accessible lockers are commonly incorporated into:
- workplaces
- end-of-trip facilities
- schools and universities
- community and civic buildings
- gyms and sporting facilities
- aquatic centres and recreation facilities
For projects requiring specific dimensional or accessibility considerations, our team can assist with locker configuration and layout planning.
Space requirements
To create an accessible locker environment, it’s important to consider how people with diverse mobility and accessibility needs will use the facility as a whole.
Beyond the locker itself, inclusive design considers the complete user journey — from entry through to storage and exit. This includes clear paths of travel, sufficient circulation space for manoeuvring, appropriate luminance contrast, and clear signage to support intuitive navigation.
Key Accessible Locker Design Considerations
When incorporating accessible lockers within change rooms or amenities, design teams typically consider:
• Locker compartments positioned within accessible reach ranges
• Circulation space to support wheelchair manoeuvring in front of lockers
• Accessible lock options suited to users with limited dexterity
• Clear identification and signage to support wayfinding
For projects requiring specific dimensional guidance, our team can assist with layout planning and locker configuration.
Our Accessible Locker Planning Guide outlines key considerations to help architects and facility designers integrate accessible storage within change rooms and amenity areas.
