Phenolic Lockers for Healthcare Facilities: 2025 Overview

June 11, 2025

Overview of Phenolic Lockers for Healthcare Facilities

  • For any healthcare facility, like a hospital, clinic, surgical room, or laboratory, hygiene and durability should never be compromised. Every piece of storage furniture is required to support infection prevention, be secure, and withstand heavy-duty chemical cleaning, which is why phenolic lockers for healthcare facilities are great. They are traditionally used in hospitals due to their advanced antibacterial features, superior moisture resistance, and phenolic construction, which is far better than metal lockers.
  • SFS specializes in custom storage solutions and has been serving our clients for over seventeen years now. Our compact laminate products of phenolic lockers are some of the very best in the industry as they meet the standards of hygiene, safety, and robustness, which makes them ideal for healthcare applications.

Why Choose Phenolic Lockers for Maximized Durability in Healthcare Facilities?

These superior-grade phenolic lockers for healthcare facilities are made out of high-pressure laminated or compact laminated, which is essentially a non-porous, impact-resistant, and water-resistant surface formed by fusing multiple layers of craft paper with resin under high pressure, making it perfect for demanding environments like hospitals.

Discover why phenolic lockers are unrivaled in healthcare settings:

  • Antibacterial & Mildew Resistance

Surfaces in a medical setting require high levels of bacterial control. As previously stated, the surface of phenolic lockers is smooth, non-porous, and seamless. That means there is no mold or mildew formation. This feature allows facilities to meet all hygiene requirements for the safety of staff, patients, and visitors.

•          Appropriate change rooms and patient lockers in hospitals, pharmacies, and laboratory staff lockers.

•          Very effective at controlling infections.

  • Lock Options for Security

At SFS, we prioritize matters of privacy and safety. Lockers can have phenolic fittings, and there is a wide range of locks available:

•          Password locks

•          Code locks

•          Key locks

•          Digital and RFID locks

•          Combination locks

  • Standard & Custom Sizes

The default measurements of phenolic lockers are: W600 × D450 × H1800 mm. Aside from that, SFS provides all customers with tailored measurements of the lockers to align with their projects. Those looking for single-column lockers to use in small spaces or sizable lockers for staff areas will get them built to their needs.

  • Chemical Resistance

Disinfectants and cleaning agents are critical for healthcare facilities. Alongside other benefits, phenolic lockers have greater chemical resistance than wood or metal lockers. The material is not susceptible to peeling, warping, or staining due to daily sanitation.

• Resistant to alcohol-based cleaners and hospital-grade disinfectants

• No surface degradation or discoloration

• Suitable for labs, isolation rooms, and surgical storage

•          Impact resistance for repetitive open/close operations.

Buying Guide: Tips for Choosing Phenolic Lockers for Healthcare Facilities

1. Look for Features That Protect Hygiene First

Surfaces must be non-porous and covered with anti-microbial agents that are in compliance with infection control policies. Check that the lockers resist mold and mildew, and are easily disinfected daily with hospital-grade disinfectants.

2. Consider the Quality of the Material

Go for solid phenolic compact laminate (HPL), which is moisture and chemical-resistant, capable of enduring heavy use without warping or peeling.

3. Pick the Correct Dimensions

General sizes such as W600xD450xH1800mm fit nicely, but do a spatial check. Most manufacturers nowadays specialize in tailor-made designs—ideal for small, narrow corridors or tight-fitting changing rooms.

4. Assess Providing Locks

Pick safe locking systems according to user level. Password, digital, RFID, and coded locks are quite common in healthcare facilities because of staff confidentiality.

5. Look at Functional Customization

Lockers can be numbered, customized internally with shelves, vented, and even changed colors or finishes. Custom phenolic lockers offer both functions of facility branding.

6. Purchase From Credible Partners

Choose worked with seasoned manufacturers like SFS, who provide design aid, CAD drawings, along after-sales service.
