Standard Guardian lockers build upon the design features of the Vanguard series with several enhancements that give it a distinctive look and enable quieter operation. Our new one-piece deep drawn Classic III stainless steel recessed handle is part of every Guardian. It eliminates protrusions from the locker front and accepts locks.

The 16 gauge door front has a solid exterior, aiding quiet operation. In addition to rubber bumpers on all latch hooks, the latch channel is silenced by unique guides. Ventilation is achieved by slots in the top and bottom flanges of the door.
