Lockers are essential to any school, sports center, hospital, or workplace, providing secure storage and helping keep spaces organized. But if your lockers are showing signs of wear and tear, it may be time for an upgrade. The key to a smooth renovation? Planning ahead.
At Holman, Inc., we know that a successful locker renovation starts long before installation day. With lead times that can take up to 12 weeks, waiting until the last minute can leave you scrambling to find solutions—or worse, dealing with outdated, unreliable lockers for another year. If you want new lockers ready for the start of the school year or an upcoming sports season, summer is the ideal time to begin planning.
The Best Time to Start Planning
For schools, summer is a prime opportunity for renovations. Without students and staff navigating the halls, installation is easier, and disruptions are minimal. By starting the planning process early—ideally in late spring or early summer—you’ll have ample time to select the right lockers, finalize your order, and schedule installation before the new school year begins.
Sports centers and fitness facilities also benefit from summer planning. Many gyms see a rise in memberships and activity in the fall and winter, making summer an ideal time to refresh locker rooms and ensure everything is in top shape before demand picks up.
Order Early to Avoid Delays
Standard locker orders can take up to 12 weeks to manufacture and ship, depending on the style, size, and materials chosen. If you wait until August to start the conversation, your lockers may not be ready until late fall.
To avoid delays, we recommend reaching out as early as possible to discuss your locker needs. Our team at Holman, Inc. is here to help guide you through the selection process, ensuring you get the best solution for your space and timeline.
