Sheffield Vertical Cycle Locker
Product Details:
Space-Saving Vertical Bike Storage
Storing a bicycle vertically provides a clear advantage in constrained sites, including town centres, transport hubs and residential developments where cycle parking needs to be integrated into tight service yards or boundary lines.
This vertical bike locker is typically specified for:
• Apartment and build-to-rent schemes
• Rail stations and park & ride facilities
• Workplace cycle parking areas
• Universities, colleges and schools
• Leisure centres and visitor attractions
• Town centre regeneration projects
As a single cycle locker, it supports a tidy, well-managed cycle parking provision while protecting bicycles from theft, vandalism and adverse weather.
Construction and Security Features
Heavy-Duty Door and Hinge Assembly
The locker door is manufactured with a full-length, heavy-duty piano hinge for reliable performance in busy environments. This hinge design supports long-term use and helps maintain alignment, even with frequent opening and closing.
Three-Point Locking Mechanism
A secure three-point locking mechanism is provided as standard, offering strong resistance against forced entry and supporting specification in higher risk locations.
Integral Belongings Hook
An internal belongings hook is included within the door, allowing users to store a helmet, bag or small accessories off the floor. This improves day-to-day usability and helps keep the locker interior clear.
Weather Protection and Roof Design
The apex roof is designed to shed rainwater effectively, helping to keep the internal storage area drier and reducing standing water on top surfaces. This makes the locker suitable for exposed outdoor settings where year-round performance is required.
Cladding Options for Different Site Requirements
The Sheffield vertical cycle locker can be configured with a range of side cladding options, allowing specifiers to tailor the appearance, ventilation and security level to suit the installation environment.
Side cladding options include:
• Perforated steel sheeting
• Fully welded 5mm mesh steel sheet
• Colorcoat flat sheet
• Colorcoat profile sheet
These options make the unit adaptable for use in both high-visibility public spaces and more discreet service locations.
Configuration and Modular Layouts
For larger installations, multiple units can be bolted together to create a continuous bank of lockers. This approach supports efficient planning and a consistent visual layout, particularly for residential and workplace cycle storage areas.
Available configuration options include:
• Various run sizes to suit the site footprint
• Adjustable feet to accommodate minor surface variations
• Symbols and numbers added to doors and sides for identification
This modular approach is especially useful for managed facilities where lockers are allocated to individuals or monitored by an operator.
Alternative Locking and Specification Options
To suit different operational requirements, the Sheffield locker can be supplied with alternative locking mechanisms. This can support schemes where lockers are managed via estates teams, issued keys, or integrated into site access systems.
A variety of alternative cladding options is also available, allowing the unit to be aligned with surrounding architecture, boundary treatments or other street furniture.
Integration with Broader Cycle Parking Schemes
The Sheffield Vertical Cycle Locker is often specified alongside other cycle parking products, depending on the mix of user needs. For example:
• Can be paired with covered cycle shelters for short-stay visitor parking
• Often specified alongside Sheffield stands for high-turnover locations
• Suitable as part of a secure cycle compound for residential developments
• Complements Broxap’s wider range of bike lockers UK projects
This enables specifiers to provide a balanced cycle parking strategy, combining secure long-stay storage with convenient short-stay provision.
