What most often sends metal lockers work back
- No continuous backing behind the locker tops, so the anti-tip wall anchors end up screwed into hollow drywall and pull out.
- Bench and locker floor anchor locations not coordinated, so anchors land off the framing or in the wrong flooring transition.
- Backing set at the wrong height for the locker run being installed, discovered when the installer's anchor line misses it entirely.
- A run set to the floor but never wall-anchored, so a bank of lockers can tip when a full stack of doors is opened at once.
- Lockers shimmed level individually but not aligned as a run, so faces and doors step in and out along the bank.
- Doors and latches binding because the units were anchored slightly racked, so latches catch instead of closing clean.
- Number plates and end trim left off or mislabeled against the room schedule, closed as done before the numbering is checked.
- A latch that sticks adjusted once but never re-tested through a full open and close, so it binds again in service.
