Where each walk sits in the schedule

While the walls are open, before drywall and flooring go in and before the locker installer arrives to set units. Run by: The carpentry crew installing backing, or the GC's superintendent walking the room before the finishes cover the wall.
Metal lockers final inspection checklistfinal
After lockers and benches are set and anchored, before turnover and before the room is put into use. Run by: The locker installer with the GC's superintendent, walking the set run before the owner's walk.

During closeout, after the run has been handled and after final cleaning reveals dents, missing numbers and sticking latches. Run by: The locker installer on a callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing locker punch items before turnover.

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.
