Measure the area where you plan to put footlockers

Shopping for storage foot lockers isn't as simple as deciding how many you need and ordering them. You must know how much space you have to work with or they may not fit. Measure the length of the wall space you want to line with foot lockers. Typically, steel lockers used in schools measure 72" high, 12" wide and 12" deep. Larger footlockers are 24" wide and 24" deep.

I recommend: C&N footlockers sells lockers in a variety of colors. The dimensions range from 30"x16" to 32"x18". Budco Products have several types and designs of steamer trunks. They're made with high quality materials.

Get storage trunks for dorm rooms, camps and much more

Look for storage trunks for sale by foot locker suppliers. Some storage trunks are perfect for campgrounds and bunk houses. Others work great in dorm rooms. You want to buy storage trunks that are built with wood frames and covered with heavy-duty vinyl or leather. Many are hand-crafted with brass-plated hardware.

I recommend: Campbound.com sells storage trunks that are perfect for camp. They come in three sizes and six colors. Budco Products has been manufacturing handmade storage trunks for over 40 years. Surray Luggage stocks antique style trunks.

Go for durability when choosing foot lockers and storage trunks

If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Many footlocker suppliers offer a rust proof package to make the personal foot lockers last longer. There are also storage trunks that are moisture and dust resistant.

I recommend: Rhino lockers are extra heavy duty and they're commonly used in schools, police stations, fire companies and industrial settings. Trunks Depot claims their footlockers and storage trunks for sale are strong enough to withstand a man standing on them.

Consider custom foot lockers

Custom foot lockers are the ideal choice if you're outfitting a ski resort or golf clubhouse. They are designed with space for skis, clothing, golf shoes or ski boots and equipment bags. If you need a storage trunk for an upscale office, buy a wooden hand painted trunk.

I recommend: Sports Authority sells patterned storage trunks for your customers' gear. If you're looking for elegantly decorated storage trunks, contact Design by Diane. She hand paints wood trunks.

Remember the extras when ordering from foot locker suppliers

Most foot lockers need shelving and some storage trunks need wheels. Foot locker suppliers vary on how they handle these extras. Some automatically include both the tray and wheels, installed for free. Others charge you extra. Make sure to specify whether you need either addition.

I recommend: Trunks Depot will put wheels on your storage trunk for free. They also have a 30-day money back guarantee.
