Cool Lockers vs. Shelving Store: Choosing the Best Mobile Phone Storage for Schools

Selecting the right mobile phone storage for schools is crucial for maintaining order and focus in the classroom. Cool Lockers and Shelving Store are two reputable brands that offer Mobile Phone Storage solutions. This comparison will help you understand the strengths and differences between the two, so you can make the best choice for your school.

Why Mobile Phone Storage Matters


Mobile phones are essential for modern life but can disrupt learning if not properly managed. A reliable storage system keeps devices secure and ensures that they do not interfere with academic activities.

Material Quality and Durability

Cool Lockers (Lockertek’s Alternative):

  • Constructed from high-quality, durable plastic that is scratch-resistant, dent-proof, and rust-free.
  • Designed for heavy-duty use in busy school settings.
  • Easy to clean, ensuring long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance.

Shelving Store:

  • Offers lockers made from various materials, including metal and plastic.
  • Metal lockers are durable but can be susceptible to rust and dents, particularly in humid conditions.
  • Plastic lockers are available but may not be as robust or feature-rich as Cool Lockers’ offerings.

Cool Lockers provide superior durability and low-maintenance benefits with high-quality plastic construction.

Design and Customization

Cool Lockers:

  • Specifically designed for mobile phone storage, with compact and space-efficient models.
  • Customizable with school colours, logos, and modular configurations to match different school requirements.
  • Available in various sizes to fit specific storage needs.

  • Equipped with advanced security options, such as RFID-compatible locks and digital lock mechanisms.
  • Designed with a tamper-proof structure to ensure maximum safety of stored devices.

Shelving Store:

  • Offers standard lock options, including key locks and combination locks, with some models providing electronic locking mechanisms.
  • Advanced security features may come at an additional cost.

Cool Lockers provides more robust and built-in security solutions tailored for schools.

Pricing and Value

Cool Lockers:

  • Offers competitive pricing that reflects its high-quality materials and features.
  • Transparent pricing without hidden fees, providing great value for schools.

Shelving Store:

  • Pricing varies depending on the type of storage unit chosen, with metal options often being more expensive.
  • Additional costs for upgrades, such as electronic locks or customization, may be required.

Customer Support​

Cool Lockers:

  • A dedicated team that offers expert advice, quick responses, and specialized support tailored to schools.
  • Comprehensive assistance, including installation guidance and after-sales services.

Shelving Store:

  • Standard customer support services for general inquiries and order assistance.
    Support may not be as specialized or comprehensive when it comes to school-specific needs.
