Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
Are office lockers sufficient for storing high-value items?
Standard office lockers are not designed to replace safes. A typical locker with a cam lock provides deterrence against opportunistic theft but can be opened by a skilled person with basic tools in minutes. For storing cash, jewelry, passports, or sensitive electronic devices, a small office safe (rated for burglary resistance, e.g., UL RSC or better) is the appropriate solution. Lockers are appropriate for personal belongings of moderate value — bags, clothing, phones, tablets — in supervised environments where most theft risk is opportunistic. If your employees have concerns about high-value items, supplement lockers with a security safe in a manager's office.
