24 slot locker power bank station for a lobby
Individual bays behind a screen, for a lobby that is empty overnight. More capacity than the corridor kiosk, and a service routine that has to happen outside the peak.
Locker bays against a carousel
A locker cabinet gives every pack its own door, which reads as more secure to a guest and makes a single failed bay obvious rather than hidden behind a carousel. The trade is more moving parts per bay, and a spare part list that matters more.
A lobby that empties at night
Between midnight and six the cabinet is alone. That is the window when a failed bay goes unnoticed and when the guest who needs a pack at 05:30 finds an empty row, so the alert rule and the restock hour are part of the design.
- Nightly alerting, to a person, with the bay number in the message.
- A restock hour that does not collide with the morning peak.
- A pack pool held on site, not at another building.
The restock and fault routine
A 24 bay locker is a small route on its own: a count, a clean, a swap of the packs that came back flat, and a check on the bays that raised an alert that week. Written down, it takes minutes. Unwritten, it is a job nobody owns.

Locker bays fail one at a time and quietly. The alert rule matters more here than on a counter unit, because nobody walks past the cabinet between midnight and six.
Where the 24 slot locker fits, and where it does not
It fits a lobby that empties overnight: an office tower, a hospital entrance, a hotel lobby with a night porter rather than a reception desk. Between midnight and six the cabinet is alone, and the alert rule is what keeps it working.
It does not fit a venue with a morning peak and no restock before it. Twenty four locker bays that were emptied at close and not refilled are a row of apologies at the hour the demand arrives.
Nor does it fit where a single failed bay has to stay invisible. Locker bays fail one at a time and obviously, which is the trade for the guest reading them as more secure.
How buyers customise a locker build, and what each option changes
The overnight window is the design brief, so the rows below are about what happens when nobody is looking.
- Bay format
- Changes the guest's reading of security and the spare part list, because locker bays wear differently from carousel bays.
- Alert rules
- Changes how fast a failed bay is found, and it is tested before go live rather than after.
- Restock hour
- Changes whether the cabinet is full at the peak, and it is a named day and hour rather than a habit.
- Screen content
- Changes what the guest is told when a bay is empty, and it is set per site.
- Pack pool held on site
- Changes the morning after a failure, and it is a capex line rather than a monthly one.
- Cabinet finish and print
- Changes the MOQ and adds a sample round.
What to confirm before you approve a locker sample
6 checks on the 24 slot locker sample before the order is approved.
- Nightly alerting that reaches a person, with the bay number in the message.
- A restock hour that does not collide with the morning peak.
- A pack pool held on site rather than at another building.
- The bay part list, because locker bays wear differently and the parts are ordered per bay.
- The queue that forms at the cabinet on the first Monday after install.
- The language of the lobby, on the screen and on the signage.
Questions that come back before the order
Short answers to the questions that arrive with the first email.
Locker bays or a carousel?
A locker cabinet gives every pack its own door, which reads as more secure to a guest and makes a failed bay obvious. The trade is more moving parts per bay and a spare part list that matters more.
What does a guest see at five in the morning?
Whatever the screen is set to say when a row is empty, and that is a configuration decision. It is worth standing in the lobby at that hour once before the cabinet is ordered.
Who owns the restock and fault routine?
It has to be a named person rather than a support queue. A count, a clean, a swap of flat packs and a check on the bays that alerted that week takes minutes when it is written down.
