Double, triple or four tier locker cross frame members shall be 16 gauge channel shaped securely welded to vertical framing members to ensure a square and rigid assembly.

2.3.5 DOORS: Doors shall be 16 gauge or 18 gauge steel for short or narrow doors as required by manufacturer's design, formed with a full channel shape on lock side to fully conceal the lock bar, channel formation on the hinge side and right angle formation across the top and bottom.

The lock bar shall be securely contained in the door channel by self-lubricating polyethylene guides that isolate the lock bar from metal-to-metal contact with the door. There shall be three latching points for lockers over 42" in height and two latching points for all tiered lockers 42" and under in height. The lock bar travel is limited by contacting resilient elastomeric cushioning devices located inside the lock bar. Frame hooks to accept latching shall be of heavy gauge steel, set close in and welded to the frame. Continuous vertical door strike shall protect frame hooks from door slam damage. A soft rubber silencer shall be securely installed on each frame hook to absorb the impact caused by closing of the door.

2.3.8 HANDLES: A non-protruding 14 gauge, lifting trigger and slide plate shall transfer the lifting force for actuating the lock bar when opening the door. The exposed portion of the lifting trigger shall be encased in a molded ABS thermoplastic cover that provides isolation from metal-to-metal contact and be contained in a formed 20 gauge stainless steel recessed pocket. This stainless steel pocket shall contain a recessed area for the various lock types available and a mounting area for the number plate.

2.3.9 HINGES: Hinges shall be 2'' high, 5-knuckle, full loop, tight pin style, securely welded to frame and double riveted to the inside of the door flange. Locker doors 42'' high and less shall have two hinges. Doors over 42'' high shall have three hinges.
