Locker shroud kits: reface the lockers you already own

Keep the lockers. Change the finish. Made-to-measure panels, tops and trims give existing locker banks a new look, without replacing the carcasses underneath.

What you get

A tailored skin, not new furniture

A shroud clads the surfaces the room actually sees. The steel or timber carcass stays where it is; the locks and mechanisms usually carry on as they are. Because every locker bank is a slightly different size, and older units rarely match modern modular dimensions, a kit is a small piece of bespoke design and build: measured and made for your run, not pulled off a shelf.

  • End panels and pilasters to tidy the sides and the gaps between runs.
  • Front cladding between and around the doors to update the face.
  • A new top or cornice to cap the bank cleanly and hide an uneven top.
  • Plinths and infills to deal with skirting, pipework and floor gaps.
  • Doors reused, repainted or replaced, so the bank reads as one piece.

How it runs

Measured from the lockers, not a catalogue

The whole point of a shroud is that it disappears into the existing run, so measuring is where the work is. Old lockers are rarely square, rarely a round number, and often sit against walls, columns or pipework the panels have to work around.

  1. Survey

    We measure the existing bank on site: overall dimensions, door positions, gaps, out-of-square, and obstructions such as skirting, radiators or cable trays.

  2. Design

    Drawings set out how the panels wrap the carcass, where joints fall, and how the new top and plinth resolve against floor and wall. Every drawing is produced in-house.

  3. Finish

    You choose material and colour, and we confirm how the doors are handled: reused, repainted or replaced. Physical samples are available with your enquiry.

  4. Manufacture

    Panels are cut and finished to the survey dimensions by our vetted UK partners, and checked against our drawings before delivery.

  5. Install

    The cladding is fitted over the carcass on site, scribed to walls where needed, with minimal disruption to a working floor.

Honestly

When a shroud makes sense, and when it doesn’t

Refacing is the right call when the bones are good but the look isn’t: the lockers are structurally sound, you’re refreshing on a budget, the bank has to match a new scheme, sustainability matters, or the units sit in an awkward run where standard replacements wouldn’t fit neatly anyway.

It’s the wrong call when the carcasses are corroded, the doors are bent or failing, or the configuration no longer suits how the team works. Then replacement, or a mix of new units and refaced ones, is the honest answer, and we’ll say so before quoting.

  • Melamine-faced board (MFC) in woodgrains and solid colours
  • Real-wood veneer or solid timber edges
  • Laminate and Fenix low-sheen surfaces
  • Powder-coated steel in effectively any RAL colour
  • Brand-matched paint to a colour reference

A photo of the bank, a rough overall size and the finish you have in mind is enough to start. We’ll reply with the questions that matter, then an itemised quote.
