Most lockers are made of metal. This gives you a lot of possibilities with magnets to "pimp up" your locker and make it both more practical and personal, even if there is very little space. Regardless of whether you use the cabinet in connection with your work, your hobby or in your home, there is definitely something here that you can use.
We will introduce you to the following tips and tricks in this post:
- Hang a mirror on the door
- Hang up extra shelves
- Decorate with photos and notes
- Set up hooks for extra hanging
- Hang up forms and worksheets
Decorate your locker with magnets
The best-selling magnets for lockers are the ones you can stick on the back of mirrors and put up photos with. You will find our bestselling products a little further down the page, but here we want to highlight the smartest ways to use the magnets.
Put a mirror on the door
If you have a small mirror, you can glue magnets to the back of the mirror and always have it easily accessible. Although the mirror itself does not weigh much, it must be able to withstand you closing the door not so carefully, so we recommend 10x10x3 mm. with glue.
Hang up extra shelves
Difficulty finding space for everything in your locker? Or would you maybe like to separate clothes and shoes apart? Put up a shelf inside! The lighter a material, the fewer magnets you need. A good standard magnet to hold a shelf is 10x10x10 mm. cube magnet. Place 2 magnets on each side under the shelf with a good distance. If you want to put in a heavy shelf, contact us straight away for a calculation of strength requirements, as you ideally want a magnetic solution that works optimally from the start.
Decorate with photos and notes
The easiest way to make a locker personal is with photos or small notes. It just requires some small magnets with a strength of approx. 400 grams. So the selection is large. You just have to decide whether it should be some quiet magnets, or if you want some funny fridge magnets to put photos and notes in the cupboard with.
Set up hooks for extra hanging
Are you missing a hanger or hook for your jacket, sweater and bag? No problem. Just use hook magnets. It creates a wonderful overview and sense of order in your closet. If you have to hang up small things such as jewellery, you can make do with the very small magnetic hooks. But if you have to hang up a heavy jacket or a lady's bag, a little more strength is needed. And remember: If you hang the magnet on the ceiling of the closet, there is a direct pull, and then you just need a magnet that can carry a little more than the final weight of the clothes or bag. But if you fasten the hook to the side of the cabinet, there is an indirect pull, and then you need 4-6 times more strength than what the magnet will have to carry, as the indirect pull makes the hook magnet's job a lot harder.
Hook magnets are also a great solution for lockers at riding academies. In most places where with horses, you can have your own locker. This is very practical because you don't have to carry all your things there and back every time. However, all your things often end up in a pile at the bottom of the locker anyway. The solution is of course hook magnets! Easily hang your reins, rope, gloves, tournament clothes or your riding helmet so that you always have an overview and can easily find what you need. It is an easy, flexible and practical solution to the problem of organizing lockers at riding schools.
Maybe you would like to hang your towel or your shoes in the locker at the gym or by the public pool? Hook magnets are a perfect, moveable solution that makes your hobby a little more manageable. Always remember, as described above, to take into account whether the hookis going to sit at the top of the cupboard or on one of the sides, so that you can choose the right strength.
Clever hanging of forms and worksheets
This last solution is super practical if you use a locker at work. With magnetic cassettes and pockets, you can have easy access to your work schedule or anything else important that you want to have close at hand. It could also be a safety leaflet or something else. We have many different magnetic cassettes and pockets, so you just have to decide the size for the cupboard. Cassettes and pockets have a completely magnetic back, so they stick very well to metal surfaces.
Practical and simple solutions
There are of course many more options for decorating your locker - especially with magnets, as they have optimal conditions on a metal surface. So think outside the box and get the coolest cabinet using magnetism. You can also do a simple setup with tweezers and a nail file as long as they have a small steel surface that is magnetic on them. Then you can e.g. put small magnets on the cupboard door and hang the equipment on there, or you can hang up your mobile charger etc. with a magnetic hook so it's easily accessible when you need it.
