• Cell Phone Locker Style – One of the first things a cell phone cabinet buyer should discern when looking into procuring cell phone cabinets is the style of the cabinet. Essentially, most suppliers carry two styles of cell phone lockers which most suppliers refer to as entry panel or master keyed phone cabinets. The distinct difference between the cell phone locker systems is the entry panel locker allows the supervisor access to all the guest compartments at one time by swinging open the face panel on the unit, whereas the master keyed system allows the supervisor/owner to access guest compartments one at a time by using a designated master key. There are advantages to both types’ cell phone cabinet systems. The major benefit of the entry panel phone locker is it allows the owner to access all of the compartments at one time which can be beneficial for distribution projects. The primary benefit the master keyed phone lockers provide is the fact that minimal clearance is necessary in front on the locker system because each door only opens versus the entire face panel.

• Cell Pone Cabinet Finish – When shopping for cell phone storage lockers you will notice that there is an assortment of finishes available for buyers. Some cell phone locker suppliers charge up charges for certain finishes whereas others do not. Most cell phone cabinet suppliers offer only powder coated finishes, however you will see an occasional product supplier that offers some anodized finishes.

• Cell Phone Locker Mounting Type – Recessed and surface mount cell phone lockers are the most prominent mounting options available for cell phone lockers. Recently, one manufacturer has made free standing enclosure available for select cell phone locker models in their product line. This addition has provided buyers another alternative for installing their cell phone storage lockers without requiring wall space. Occasionally, cell phone cabinet buyers want to mount their locker on a table which can be done with some cell phone lockers provided it is well thought out by the installer taking into consideration the weight of the unit, table, and other common sense factors.

• Cell Phone Storage Locker Locking Device – Cell Phone cabinet visitor doors can come with a variety of different locking devices. The three most used locking devices for cell phone lockers are master keyed locks, combination locks and user defined locks. Each particular locking device has benefits unique to the lock type. For example, master key locks on guest doors tend to be the least expensive lock type option which is benefit to the customer.
