Fasteners - Not Supplied
Because materials and construction of oors and walls can vary, fasteners for attaching the locker
to the structure are not provided�
The installer must choose the appropriate fastener and follow the manufacturer’s instructions�
!
WARNING
Inferior or improperly installed fasteners
could cause the lockers to tip over.
Determine the construction of the walls and/or oor.
If the lockers will be attached to the wall, no attachment to the oor is required.
If the lockers will be installed back-to-back in the middle of a room, attachment to the oor is required.
Locker Fastener Guidelines:
· If the oor is wood construction, attachment should be by sheet metal or lag screws (#10 minimum).
· If the oor is concrete, attachment should be by concrete screw (Tapcon), or sheet metal screws
(#10 minimum) into metal or plastic inserts�
· If the wall is wood stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by lag screws
(1/4" minimum) into every stud�
· If the wall is metal stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by toggle bolt
(1/4" minimum) into every stud�
· If the wall is concrete block construction, attachment should be by concrete screw (Tapcon) or
toggle bolt (1/4" minimum), spaced no more than 16" apart�
· If the wall is poured concrete construction, attachment should be by Concrete screw (Tapcon) or
wedge-type concrete anchors, spaced no more than 24" apart�
Note: Each wall and oor connection must be rated for a minimum of 500 lb of tension.
Other fasteners may be used if the connection strength requirement is met�
