Individually Assigned, Individually Secure
A personal locker is storage assigned and secured for one person, not a shared bin. We design and install personal locker programs — sized, locked, and finished around what people actually carry — for offices, fitness and wellness centers, and university campuses across NYC.
Personal, Not Generic: The right personal locker program is sized around what people actually bring with them — not a single stock size issued to everyone.
Defining the Term
It isn't a product category — it's a design intent. Here's what separates a personal locker from shared storage.
A personal locker is storage assigned and secured for one person's belongings — not a shared bin, cubby, or open shelf. That can mean a locker permanently assigned to one employee, gym member, or student, or a day-use locker that's individually assigned fresh every visit via a PIN code. Either way, the person using it trusts the lock, the size fits what they actually carry, and — for the duration of their use — the space is unmistakably theirs.
We design personal locker programs across three settings most often: corporate offices, fitness and wellness facilities, and university campuses. The environment changes; the design decisions below stay the same.
Where Personal Lockers Live
The same personal-storage principle, adapted to three very different traffic patterns and aesthetics.
Workplace
Assigned or day-use PIN-keypad lockers that give hot-desking employees a fixed, secure spot for their own belongings.
See Workplace Lockers →
Fitness & Wellness
Compact, ventilated, and moisture-resistant finishes sized for gear, valuables, and a quick change between sessions.
See Locker Storage Options →
Higher Education
High-turnover, durable lockers for students moving between classes, sized for laptops, textbooks, and outerwear.
See Lockers Overview →What Makes It Feel Personal
Get these four right and a locker program stops feeling like assigned storage and starts feeling like it belongs to the person using it.
One person, one locker — whether that assignment lasts a year or a single visit, never a shared bin.
Full-height for coats and gym gear, compact two- or three-tier for phones, wallets, and a change of clothes.
PIN, key, RFID, or app-based smart access — matched to how valuable what's inside actually is.
200+ finishes so a personal locker looks like part of the space, not an institutional afterthought.
Security & Peace of Mind
When a locker is personal, losing access to it — a forgotten code, a misplaced key — is a real problem for the person who owns it, not just a facilities ticket. App-based smart locks solve this with remote release and a clean access log, so a facilities admin can help someone back into their own locker in minutes, not by cutting a padlock.
We specify that connected layer for personal locker programs whenever it makes sense for the environment, through our sister brand Modern Smart Lockers.

Offices, fitness and wellness facilities, and campuses — designed, specified, and installed by the same people every time.
We size personal lockers around what your population actually carries, not a single default size issued to everyone.
Key, combination, PIN, RFID, and app-based smart — matched to how valuable what's stored actually is.
Laminate, woodgrain, and brand-matched finishes so a personal locker reads as part of the space, not institutional storage.
45 West 36th Street, one block from Penn Station — review finish and lock samples in person before you specify anything.
We integrate directly with architects, interior designers, and furniture dealers, or lead the personal locker program ourselves.
Members don't think about our lockers — and that's exactly the point. Everyone gets a space that's secure, the right size, and unmistakably theirs for the hour they're here.

Personal Locker FAQ
Storage assigned and secured for one person's belongings — not shared open storage — whether that assignment is permanent or renewed daily.
No. Many programs run day-use personal lockers, self-assigned via PIN each visit, which still give each user exclusive, secure access for as long as they need it.
PIN keypad or app-based smart locks are typically the best fit for valuables — no physical key to lose, and each user controls their own access.
It depends what people carry: full-height single-tier for coats and gear, or compact two- to three-tier for smaller personal items. We size this on-site.
