01 / What We Fabricate
The Locker Structure — Secure, Modular, Durable
A smart locker is a precise steel cabinet that secures parcels and belongings through tens of thousands of open-close cycles. We fabricate that structure — the body, compartments, and reinforced doors that the electronics turn into a smart system.
Compartments & Dividers
Multiple compartment sizes (small to extra-large) in one unit, with dividers and shelves sized to your parcel mix — maximizing usable storage per footprint.
Reinforced Doors & Hinges
Reinforced doors with drawing-defined hinges and provisions for your electronic locks. Cycle, tamper and lock-function requirements remain OEM-defined and validated on the completed locker.
Weatherproofing & Mounting
Sealed, weatherproof construction for outdoor units, with provisions for climate control, plus base and anchor structures for floor or pad mounting.
Our scope: the sheet metal locker structure
We fabricate the locker structure — cabinet body, columns, compartments, dividers, reinforced doors, control-column housing, and mounting — laser-cut, formed, welded, and powder-coated, ready for integration. Bought-out components such as electronic locks and control systems, touchscreens and barcode scanners, the computing module and software, cameras, climate-control units, and wiring are integrated by you or your technology partner. We build the structure with cutouts and provisions sized to your locks, screen, and electronics.

03 / Technical Capabilities
Secure, Durable, and Built to Cycle
A smart locker has to fit the electronics and meet the OEM's security, cycle-life and environmental targets. Those targets and validation remain OEM-owned.
| Materials | Drawing-specified cold-rolled, galvanized or stainless steel |
|---|---|
| Construction | Modular columns bolting into banks; control-column housing for electronics |
| Compartments | Multiple sizes (XS–XXL) in one unit; dividers and shelves to your parcel mix |
| Doors & Hinges | Reinforced doors and drawing-defined hinges; cycle target and validation owned by the OEM |
| Lock Provisions | Cutouts for electronic locks with mechanical backup (no lock-in on power loss) |
| Weatherproofing | Sealed outdoor construction (IP54+ design); climate-control provisions |
| Finishing | Powder coat >80 µm for corrosion resistance; RAL/brand color; logo/graphics |
| Mounting | Base and anchor structures for floor/pad mounting; rear-load option |
| Applications | Parcel, click-and-collect, luggage, staff/asset, tool, and climate lockers |
We fabricate the locker structure to your layout and electronics. The electronic locks, control system, touchscreen, computing, cameras, and climate units are integrated by you or your technology partner.
04 / Manufacturing Process
From Sheet to Smart Locker
A smart locker lives or dies on security, cycle durability, and fit. Our process delivers a locker structure built to secure parcels and host your electronics for years.
01
DFM & Layout
Review your compartment mix, locks, screen, and site — confirm material, module layout, door and hinge design, and weatherproofing needs.
02
Laser Cutting
Fiber laser cutting of body, doors, compartments, and panels — with lock cutouts, screen openings, and ventilation to precise position.
03
Forming
CNC press-brake forming of cabinet, compartments, and doors — accurate bends for clean module assembly and proper door fit and gaps.
04
Welding & Assembly
Welding cabinet structure, fitting reinforced doors, hinges, dividers, and the control-column housing — robotic welding for consistent quality.
05
Finishing
Powder coat (>80 µm) in your brand color with logo or graphics — corrosion-resistant and on-brand for indoor or outdoor placement.
06
Inspection
Dimensional inspection, door and hinge cycle check, lock- fit and finish inspection before delivery for your electronics integration.
05 / Why It Matters
What Makes a Smart Locker Right
The locker secures valuable parcels in public, around the clock. Four things separate a locker that performs over its specified duty cycle from one that fails early.
Security
A locker protects valuable parcels. Reinforced, tamper-resistant doors and robust construction are what keep contents secure and the system trusted.
Cycle Durability
Locker doors may see repeated use. The OEM must define the duty cycle, hinge selection and acceptance test, then validate the completed production-intent locker.
Weather Resistance
Outdoor lockers face rain, heat, cold, and UV. Sealed construction and a thick powder coat prevent the paint degradation and moisture failures that kill budget units.
Modular Fit
Every site and parcel mix differs. A modular structure with mixed compartment sizes optimizes storage per footprint and scales by adding columns as volume grows.

09 / FAQ
Smart Locker & Parcel Cabinet FAQ
Do you supply complete smart lockers or just the cabinet?
We fabricate the sheet metal locker structure — cabinet body, columns, compartments, dividers, reinforced doors, control-column housing, and mounting. The electronic locks and control system, touchscreen and scanner, computing module and software, cameras, climate-control units, and wiring are integrated by you or your technology partner. We build the structure with cutouts and provisions sized to your electronics.
Can you build modular, mixed-size compartments?
Yes — we build modular columns with multiple compartment sizes (small to extra-large) in one unit, sized to your parcel mix, and designed so you can add columns to scale from a compact 8-compartment unit to 72+ compartment installations.
Are the lockers suitable for outdoor use?
We can fabricate drawing-defined rain-management, gasket and climate-control interfaces. The OEM or test provider owns the IP target, coating system, environmental testing and final outdoor validation on the completed locker.
How durable are the doors and hinges?
Door reinforcement, hinge selection, cycle target and service-life criteria are OEM-defined. We fabricate to the released design and any agreed inspection plan. Because the structure is modular, if an individual compartment ever needs service, it can be addressed without taking the whole unit out of operation.
Can you match our brand and integrate our lock system?
Yes — powder coat in your brand color with logo and graphics, and we fabricate lock cutouts and provisions sized to your specific electronic locks (with mechanical backup), screen, and scanner, so your electronics integrate cleanly into the structure.
What's your minimum order quantity?
We support everything from a pilot unit to network-scale rollouts. Send us your layout and requirements and we'll confirm MOQ and pricing for your project.
