Lockers shall be fabricated square, rigid and without warp. Doors shall be flat and free of distortion.

DOOR FRAME: All door frame members to be not less than 16 gauge formed to a channel shape. Vertical members to have an additional flange to provide a continuous door strike. Intermembering parts to be mortised and tenoned and electrically welded together in a rigid assembly capable of resisting strains.
Cross frame members of 16 gauge channel shapes including intermediate cross frame on double and triple tier lockers shall be securely welded to vertical framing members to ensure rigidity.

BODY: Bolt spacing in locker body construction not to exceed 9" o.c. All locker body components shall be made of cold rolled steel specially formed for added strength and rigidity and to ensure tight joints at fastening points. Tops & bottoms shall be 24 gauge with three sides formed 90 degrees and the front offset formed to be flush with the horizontal frame member. Shelves shall be 24 gauge with four sides formed to 90 degrees, the front edge shall have a second bend. Backs & sides shall be 24 gauge.

DOORS: All doors shall be formed from 14 gauge steel. Formations shall be channel shape on the hinge and latch sides, and right angle formations across the top and bottom. Top and bottom flanges shall have one 90 degree bend. The latch side formation shall include a slot to fully engage an additional anti-pry lug integral with the padlock hasp limiting motion in any direction. On doors measuring 12” through 18” wide, additional reinforcement shall be in the form of a vertical 18 gauge pan measuring 3-1/2” wide, MIG-welded to the top and bottom flanges and hinge side channel, with an additional ½“ flange spot welded a maximum of 8" on center to the door skin to maximize door rigidity. Doors measuring more than 18” wide shall be reinforced using a 20 gauge horizontal box pan MIG-welded a maximum of 8" on center to the hinge and latch side channels, and spot welded to the door skin a maximum of 8" on center along the upper and lower pan edge for optimum strength, quiet operation and stiffness.
