End-Cap Lockers · Open-Plan Office Storage
End-cap lockers are freestanding locker islands placed at the end of workstation rows — the most space-efficient way to add storage to an open-plan floor without a dedicated locker room. Modern Office Systems designs, specifies, and installs end-cap locker programs for offices across New York City and the Northeast.
Configurations
Counter-height or full-height. Single-sided or double-sided. Woodgrain, white, charcoal, or custom laminate. Every end-cap island is specified to match the office's furniture palette and storage requirements.
Why End-Cap Lockers
End-cap islands didn't exist as a product category 15 years ago. They emerged directly from the open-plan office trend — a purpose-built answer to a specific problem: where does storage go when there's no separate room for it?
End-caps occupy dead space at row ends that was already reserved as circulation clearance. Storage added without reconfiguring the floor plan.
Counter-height units sit below the average standing eye line, keeping the floor visually open. No warehouse aesthetic — no sightline disruption.
A zone-divider configuration provides locker access from both sides — serving two rows with a single island footprint.
PIN or RFID locks support unassigned day-use programs. Employees pick any open locker each morning — no keys, no assignment lists.
Dimensions & Specifications
All dimensions are nominal and can be adjusted to fit your row width and ceiling height. Custom sizes are standard practice — not an upcharge.

Our end-cap specification sheet covers base options, height configurations, caster and leg systems, drawer and cubby add-ons, and standard dimensions — everything your design team needs to include end-cap lockers in a space plan.
Where They Work
The format adapts to nearly every open-plan scenario. Here's how it's applied across the most common NYC office programs.
High-end woodgrain or white laminate finishes match the millwork standard of trading floors and legal corridors. PIN or RFID access for day-use programs across dense benching rows.
Branded color finishes — matched to Pantone or corporate palette — integrated with the office's visual identity. Mail slot tops for distributed team areas.
Antimicrobial laminates, flush hardware, and push-button mechanical locks designed for clinical environments where wipe-down surfaces and keyless entry matter.
Design Detail
End-cap lockers sit at eye level on the office floor — which means finish quality matters. Every unit we specify is available in over 200 laminate options, from architectural woodgrains to solid corporate colors to high-gloss white. Edges are banded to match the face, hardware is selected to complement the building's interior metalwork standard, and lock types are specified to your access control program.
Mail slot tops, charging shelves, and custom graphics are all addable at the specification stage. We bring material samples to your site visit so your design team can make selections against the actual floor finish and furniture palette.
