QUESTIONS COMMONLY ASKED BY CUSTOMERS
1. Why Store Clothes Overhead?
LOCKERBASKETS store clothing overhead and allow them to hang full length to aerated and dry. The continuous movement of warm dry air passing through and around clothing makes work clothing comfortable to wear the next day. It beats storing them in stuffy, box-like, floor lockers.
2. Won't It Be Unsightly? No! Clothes are suspended both above the sight line and the level of lights, leaving a bright, open room, with 85% clear floor space, free of fixtures.
3. Is It Safe From Theft? Yes! The open changeroom eliminates hidden aisles that encourage theft. Unique retaining disc on our locking bolt system makes removal virtually impossible.
4. Are LOCKERBASKETS® Satisfactory For Women's Changerooms? Yes. In fact, women have repeatedly expressed their appreciation of the cleanliness, superior sanitary conditions, lack of crowding in the changing area and the ease of operation that the Moore LOCKERBASKET® equipment offers.
5. Doesn't It Require An Expensive High Ceiling? No! Only a 16-foot (4880 mm) ceiling, not much higher than a standard changeroom ceiling is needed. The additional cost of the higher ceiling height is more than offset by the 40% savings in floor area realized by using LOCKERBASKETS®. In fact, the savings of building a room with a higher ceiling rather than one with a larger "room footprint" needed to accommodate floor lockers, is substantial. Additional savings are also realized in heating equipment and lighting, making the storage of clothing overhead the most cost efficient approach to changeroom construction.
6. What Does The LOCKERBASKET® System Include? It includes a LOCKERBASKET® complete with all operating equipment, complete bench system and the overhead framing system. The Moore Company also provides a full line of accessories, including Padlocks, Dividing Curtains, Garment Bags, Security Tops, Boot Hangers, and Waiting Room Bench Systems, to mention a few.

7. How Long Does It Take To Have A System Shipped To My Project? The Moore Company maintains ample inventories on three continents. This allows us to support our existing systems by shipping any standard part within 48 hours after receipt and confirmation of an order. For new construction, our stocks are normally sufficient to ship your requirements within weeks after confirmation of your order. On fast-track Design / Build projects, we are more than capable of being flexible enough to work with your project manager to meet your delivery requirements, at no additional cost.
8. How About Aisles To Each LOCKERBASKET®? Only the main access aisle through the changeroom is required. The remainder of the changeroom is available for overhead storage since the raising and lowering of LOCKERBASKETS® occur in such ratios that no other aisles are necessary and no congestion from bottlenecks can form.
9. Can Your System Fit Into Existing Buildings? Easily! Overhead MOORFRAME® supporting the system adapts to virtually every type of existing roof. Locking rail - bench support units can be located to conform to the shape of the room. All that is required is a ceiling that is approximately 16'-0" high. Lower ceiling conditions can be addressed. Please contact engineering@moorecompany.com for assistance.
10. What About Maintenance? The Moore LOCKERBASKET® system is virtually maintenance free, proven by the fact that 50-year-old systems are still performing perfectly. Further, the company is continually making innovative improvements to the system. These improvements are also designed to insure that any existing system can be upgraded without obsolescence of the overall system.
11. How Do Employees Like The System? As we’ve been told repeatedly by employees in almost every industry: “Our clothing is warm, dry and comfortable to wear at the start of each work shift. Our clothes are stored securely, without any of the crowding, odor and dirt that are common with the old floor lockers”.
12. Does It Provide A Pleasant Changeroom? Look at any picture on the Website or in the literature you request! Pleasant colors, bright lighting, comfortable locking rail-bench units, and clean open areas are appreciated by both men and women employees.
13. Is It Complicated To Lay Out Or Install?
