Lyon Lockers: Lyon Metal Lockers by Tier and Style

Lyon lockers come from Lyon Workspace Products of Montgomery, Illinois, which has made steel storage since 1901. Lyon builds lockers, cabinets, shelving and rack in the USA, and its locker line runs from basic one-wide school lockers to clear-front ClearSight box lockers, 16-person LockeRack systems, antimicrobial healthcare lockers and military TA-50 gear lockers. Lyon steel lockers carry a one-year warranty.

Lyon’s standard lockers share one recipe: one-piece 16-gauge doors on a welded 16-gauge door frame, a 24-gauge body, stainless steel recessed handles on single-, double- and triple-tier doors, and a lockbar that latches at three points on single-tier doors. Two colors — Dove Gray and Putty — are the stock finishes.

This page explains the Lyon lines we sell, their published specifications and sizes, and how they compare with Tennsco lockers. It is part of our employee lockers guide.

The handle and latch. Lyon forms its recessed handle pocket from one piece, removing the seams that make formed handles a weak point, and lets the padlock sit inside the door face. The lockbar’s roller fingers engage heavy 12-gauge jambs, so the door cannot be pried free of the lock. For built-in locks, Lyon offers a Zephyr built-in combination lock or a built-in flat key lock with two keys.

Assembled or unassembled. Unassembled lockers bolt together in the field, with door and frame already joined. Assembled lockers are put together at the factory with pop rivets instead of nuts and bolts for a tighter, sturdier unit — the better choice for a full locker room on a schedule.

Ventilation. Lyon stamps louvers into every door: six louvers at the top and bottom of most single- and double-tier doors, and three or four per door on box lockers depending on width. Where airflow really matters — damp uniforms, gym gear, turnout clothing — ask about perforated gear lockers instead.

When standard is not enough. Lyon’s All-Welded Extreme lockers weld every seam and step up to 14-gauge doors, a 16-gauge body, 18-gauge backs and a full-height continuous hinge. We quote these per order for plants, schools and public-safety buildings; see heavy-duty lockers and warehouse and industrial lockers for when they are worth it.

Lyon sells the parts that finish a locker run, and we list them online:

• Slope top kits in one-wide and three-wide sizes from 12″ × 12″ to 18″ × 21″, so nothing gets stored (or forgotten) on top.
• Closed front and end bases for lockers with legs, in 12″, 15″ and 18″ widths and 12–21″ depths.
• Anchoring angles for lockers without legs and foot anchors for lockers with legs.
• Built-in key and combination locks, number plates and touch-up paint.
• Locker room benches in hardwood or aluminum, including ADA benches with backs.

Bases and anchoring. A closed base hides the space under lockers on legs, so it cannot collect trash, and gives the run a built-in look. Lyon recommends anchoring all lockers to the floor or wall to prevent tipping; we include anchoring in every installation we quote.

Browse all of these in the Lyon locker shop, see our locker accessories guide, or let us list them on your quote so every top, base and anchor matches your exact locker sizes.

A few lockers: order straight from the Lyon locker shop. Some common sizes are in stock at select manufacturers, subject to confirmation, and freight is quoted by destination.

A whole room: send a floor plan or a photo with dimensions. We lay out the run, check aisles, benches and ADA counts, and quote lockers, accessories, delivery and installation. See our locker room design service, the full lockers directory, and guides for warehouses, offices and hospitals. Lyon product literature is on our Lyon brochures page.
