Most locker projects start with a catalogue and end with a compromise: the alcove is 3,240 mm, the standard bay is 380 mm, and eight bays leave a 200 mm gap that nobody wants to explain.
We build to your drawing, not to a catalogue page. Custom dimensions, custom tier splits, your branding on the door, and a 50-unit minimum per specification with no tooling fee.
What we can change without a tooling charge
| Customisation | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overall dimensions | Any height / width / depth within steel sheet limits | Built to your alcove, including filler panels |
| Tier configuration | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 tier, mixed within a bank | Different tier counts in one run are normal |
| Door layout | Solid, louvered, glazed, combination | Glazed doors for supervision in schools and labs |
| Lock preparation | Cam, padlock hasp, coin, digital, RFID | Specify the lock model so the punching is right |
| Colour | Any RAL, single or multi-colour | Multi-colour produced in one batch for consistency |
| Branding | Laser-cut logo, silkscreen print, embossed door panel | Artwork in vector format; we supply a proof before production |
| Packaging | Plain carton, printed carton, private-label inserts | Retail-ready packaging available for distributors |
Below 50 units per specification we quote as a one-off; above it, no tooling fee. The tooling cost that other suppliers quote for custom dimensions is usually just their setup time — our line is set up per order anyway.
How a custom order runs
- 1. Drawing. You send a PDF, DXF or a sketch with dimensions. We return a dimensioned manufacturing drawing.
- 2. Sign-off. Nothing is cut before you approve the drawing in writing. This is the step that prevents 90% of disputes.
- 3. Sample. A pre-production sample is available and is the right move for any order above 500 units, or any order where the colour has to match something existing.
- 4. Production. 7–15 days after deposit and drawing approval, depending on volume and finishing.
- 5. Inspection. In-house QC on every batch; third-party inspection (SGS, BV, or your own agent) on request.
- 6. Loading. We photograph the loading and share the container number. FOB Qingdao, CIF, or DDP to your door.
OEM and private label
If you sell under your own brand, we can keep our name off the product and off the packaging. That includes:
- Your logo laser-cut into the door or printed on the carcass
- Your brand on the carton and on the assembly instructions
- Your part numbers on the labels
- Neutral documentation — no supplier branding in the box
We do not approach your customers directly, and we do not sell your branded product to other buyers. If you need a written exclusivity arrangement for a specific design, tell us at quotation stage — it is easier to agree before the tooling is set up than after.
What we need to quote a custom job
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Drawing or dimensions | Determines steel yield and therefore the real cost |
| Quantity and mix | Sets the container plan and whether MOQ is met per specification |
| Lock specification | Affects door punching; changing it later means re-punching |
| Colour / RAL | Powder is bought per batch — unusual colours have minimum quantities |
| Destination port | FOB, CIF and DDP produce very different quotes |
| Packaging requirement | Plain versus printed carton changes cost and lead time |
| Compliance needs | CE, REACH, SGS reports, or a buyer-specific standard |
Honest limits
Things we will tell you we cannot do, rather than quote and then fail:
- Certifications we do not hold — we will not claim a standard we cannot document
- Tolerances tighter than sheet metal forming allows
- Quantities that cannot fill a container economically — we will say so and suggest a mix
- Deadlines that freight makes impossible — we would rather lose the order than the relationship
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for a custom size?
50 units per specification. Below that we quote, but the per-unit cost rises because the line setup is amortised over fewer units.
Is there a tooling fee?
No tooling fee at or above 50 units per specification. Custom dimensions are set on the same line as standard product.
Can you make a sample before we commit?
Yes. Samples are charged and refunded against orders above 500 units. For colour matching, a coated steel panel is faster and cheaper than a full sample locker.
Do you protect our design?
We will sign an NDA, and we do not sell a customer’s branded design to other buyers. Ask for it in writing at quotation stage.
Can you ship to a marketplace or a 3PL warehouse?
Yes. Provide the labelling and delivery requirements and we will quote the packaging and documentation to match.
