locker

Most people don't give a hobo's poop what type of locker they use — they just want it to keep their belongings safe. But a closer look at lockers reveals that all lockers are not created equal and the level of security is as varied as the sizes and colors they come in.

Schools, work places, train stations, and even airports house lockers. Most have a lock and are intended to keep a person's possessions safe, but not all lockers are the same. What the locker is made of (steel, wood, laminate, plastic, etc.), where it is located, and the type of lock is used to lock it all play into the equation.


Locker doors usually have door stiffeners fixed vertically to the inside of the door, in the form of a metal plate welded to the inner surface and protruding outward a fraction of an inch, thus adding to the robustness of the door and making it harder to force open.

Next time you are placing your wallet and car keys inside a locker, take a second to determine if you are placing them in good hands... or a thief's hands.
