say good bye to bank lockers

Safe deposit lockers are used by people who want to protect important documents, expensive items like heirloom jewellery, or emergency money reserves, among other things. Storage lockers are most commonly located in bank vaults, and are rented to banking customers. A safe deposit locker is usually protected by at least one lock, often more, and is generally made of indestructible material.

There are a number of features or characteristics which may vary in lockers. Because purchasers will need to specify what they want in each of these when ordering, it is more common to order a particular configuration rather than buy "off the shelf" in a shop, although certain very common configurations can be found in shops fairly easily. These features include:

·         Bank size: This specifies the number of lockers wide a unit is. It does not necessarily refer to the total number of compartments, but rather the number of compartments wide the entire cabinet is. So a bank of three may contain six lockers, for example, if they are two-tier lockers. In short, the total number of lockers is the bank size multiplied by the number of tiers. Sometimes the term "bay" is used instead of "bank", although "bank" appears to be the more standard term; on other occasions, "bay" refers to a single locker width within a bank, including all tiers of locker directly on top of each other.
