Why Wire Mesh Over Sheet Metal?

Wire mesh tenant lockers outperform solid sheet metal enclosures in every way that matters to property managers and fire inspectors.

Fire sprinkler compliance
Open mesh allows sprinkler water to penetrate — solid lockers block sprinklers and violate fire code in most jurisdictions

Visual security
Staff and cameras see inside every unit without opening doors, reducing theft and unauthorized storage

Ventilation
Air circulation prevents mold, mildew, and musty odors that damage tenant belongings

Light penetration
Existing overhead lighting illuminates locker interiors, eliminating dark hiding spots

Locker Configurations

Choose the layout that fits your building and your budget.

Single-Tier Full-Height

Standard 8 ft tall units with hinged door, padlock hasp, and interior hook strip. Sizes from 3×3 ft to 5×10 ft. Most popular for apartment buildings where each tenant gets one locker.

Two-Tier Stacked

Two 4 ft tall lockers stacked to fit in standard ceiling height. Doubles density in limited space. Best for buildings with more units than available storage area.

Military-Cage Style

Heavy-gauge woven wire panels in a cage configuration. Walk-in size (5×5 ft to 10×10 ft) for larger items: bikes, furniture, seasonal equipment. Common in luxury apartments and condominium buildings.

Construction & Materials

Our tenant lockers are built from heavy-gauge steel with industrial-quality hardware and finishes.

Component Options
Welded wire mesh 10-gauge or 6-gauge galvanized steel, 2×1″ or 2×2″ mesh pattern
Woven wire mesh Diamond pattern for heavy-duty applications and military-cage style
Frame 1-5/8″ or 2″ steel angle frame, hot-dipped galvanized or powder-coated
Doors Full-height hinged door with welded hasp for padlock or integrated cylinder lock
Ceiling Open top (standard) or wire mesh ceiling panels for high-security applications

Storage Solutions That Add Property Value

Tenant storage lockers attract tenants, reduce clutter in shared spaces, and create a recurring revenue stream for property managers.

Attract & Retain Tenants

Storage is a top amenity for renters. Properties with secure locker storage fill faster and see lower tenant turnover — especially in markets where apartments lack closet space.

Enhanced Security

Key or combination locks, padlock hasps, and optional cylinder locks keep belongings secure. Wire mesh visibility lets cameras and staff monitor every unit without opening doors.

Convenient Seasonal Storage

Holiday decorations, winter clothing, summer sporting equipment, bikes, and furniture — tenants store everything they need without cluttering hallways or shared areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are wire mesh lockers required by fire code?

In most jurisdictions, yes. Fire codes require that storage areas below sprinkler systems allow water to pass through. Wire mesh lockers comply; solid sheet metal lockers can block sprinklers and may require additional fire suppression systems.

What sizes are available?

Single-tier lockers range from 3×3 ft to 5×10 ft. Two-tier stacked units fit standard ceiling heights. Military-cage style walk-in units go up to 10×10 ft. All sizes are customizable to your building layout — we produce CAD drawings showing exactly how lockers fit your available space.

Can these be used in commercial or industrial buildings?

Yes. While primarily used in apartment buildings and condos, wire mesh storage lockers are also installed in office buildings, self-storage facilities, military housing, and mixed-use properties.

How much can I charge tenants for storage?

Most property managers charge $30–$80 per unit per month depending on location, unit size, and building class. A 20-unit installation typically pays for itself in under 18 months.
