What lockers are appropriate for medical office environments?

Medical offices require lockers that are easy to clean and disinfect, resistant to hospital-grade cleaning agents, and, in some cases, HIPAA-mindful (so personal items are not left accessible to patients). The best choices are phenolic laminate or powder-coated steel with stainless steel or nickel-plated hardware (which resists common disinfectants better than zinc). Avoid open-cubby units in patient-accessible areas. Lockers in clinical areas should meet any applicable state health department guidelines. For staff locker rooms adjacent to patient areas, single-tier units with full-height compartments are preferred so entire uniforms and personal items are fully enclosed.
