Why are heavy duty plastic lockers the best choice for outdoor storage?

When it comes to outside storage, heavy duty plastic lockers are the perfect choice. Although metal has long been the first choice for lockers, plastic options actually provide far more benefits. Brands such as Xtreme and Ultrabox offer plastic lockers that are sturdy, secure and reliable.

Heavy duty plastic lockers are far more robust than metal ones, which can be easily dented or scratched and they’re also corrosion proof, meaning they can withstand the wear and tear caused by extreme weather. Ultrabox Plus lockers can handle temperatures ranging from -29°C to 40°C.

Outside and exterior lockers need to be able to handle the damp conditions that come with rain and humidity. Ultrabox lockers are water resistant, while Ultrabox Plus lockers are completely waterproof. Our heavy duty plastic lockers in general can be exposed to any amount of water and will never suffer any adverse effects such as rust. This also makes them particularly suitable for swimming pools, leisure centres, and even off-shore oil rigs.

Plastic lockers are generally far more secure than their metal counterparts. The hinges and doors are incredibly strong, because heavy duty plastic can be manufactured to be extremely thick for a very low cost. This means it is almost impossible for thieves to tamper with plastic lockers. This is the case with Ultrabox lockers in particular, which are vandal resistant.

Graffiti proof and with a 10-year guarantee, Ultrabox lockers are the perfect choice for schools. As plastic lockers are suited for outdoor use, they are an ideal choice in bicycle sheds and other external areas, saving valuable indoor space.

Heavy duty plastic lockers are a hassle-free choice, as they will never need to be oiled or repainted as metal lockers do. In fact, all they need is a quick wipe-down to remove any dirt or grime, and make them look as good as new. Ultrabox lockers are painted with an antibacterial additive called ActiveCoat that combats the growth of yeast, mould and MRSA, making them a low-maintenance and hygienic choice.

Aesthetically, plastic lockers tend to be far more attractive than their metal equivalent. Xtreme and Ultrabox lockers come in a variety of bright colours, with various door options and size combinations so you can easily create a storage solution that is tailored to you.
