Should locker doors be solid or louvered (vented)?

Louvered doors allow air circulation inside the locker compartment, preventing odors from damp clothing, gym shoes, or food containers. They are standard in healthcare, fitness, and manufacturing environments. Solid doors provide slightly better security (items are not visible at all) and a cleaner aesthetic. In typical corporate offices where employees store bags, documents, and electronics — not damp clothing — solid doors are often chosen for a more refined look. If employees will be storing clothing or gym gear, specify louvered or perforated door panels. Some manufacturers offer a door choice at the product-configuration stage.
