Cube, Pure or Staffroom Lockers?

A quick note before this gets into specifics: Cube, Pure and Staffroom lockers aren't three competing product lines to choose between, they're the same underlying IronStor locker system (steel or SGL laminate doors, 1 to 6 door configurations) presented for three different rooms and use cases. Our existing guides, Pure Lockers Explained and Workplace Lockers: The Complete Guide, already cover materials, certification and general sizing in depth. This piece focuses on a narrower, practical question: given a specific room, which configuration actually fits?

The Cube Locker: Small Items, Maximum Density

The Pure Cube Locker is a compact format built for personal belongings rather than full-length garments, phones, wallets, small bags, that need somewhere secure without the floor and wall space a full-height locker demands. It's the right choice wherever the priority is fitting the maximum number of secure compartments into limited space, gyms, reception areas, shared coworking spaces.

The Standard Pure Range: Full-Height, Configurable Storage

The core Pure Lockers range covers full-height, 1 to 6 door configurations in steel or SGL laminate. This is the right starting point wherever users need to store outdoor clothing, bags or equipment that won't fit in a compact compartment, and where door count needs to flex between 1-tier (maximum space per user) and 6-tier (maximum users per wall run), as covered in our locker tier configurations guide.

Staffroom and Employee Lockers: The Same Range, Framed for the Room

The Staffroom & Employee Lockers collection draws on the same Pure Prime Standard and Pure Shield SGL lines, but framed around break rooms, offices and shared staff spaces specifically. The practical difference is less about the locker itself and more about what else the room needs alongside it, bench seating being the most common addition (see our piece on Pure Locker Seats and Stands).

A Simple Way to Decide

Start with what's actually being stored: small personal items point towards Cube; full-length clothing or bulkier kit points towards the standard Pure range in whatever tier suits the headcount. Then layer on the room itself: a staffroom or break room usually benefits from seating and a raised stand; a gym or leisure setting may prioritise moisture resistance and quick turnover between users instead.

Mixed Configurations Are Often the Right Answer

Many real installations end up mixing formats, Cube lockers along one wall for small personal items, standard Pure lockers along another for coats and bags, rather than forcing a single configuration to serve every need in the room. Don't treat the choice as all-or-nothing.

Where to Go for More Detail

For the full detail on materials, certification and sizing that sits behind all three of these, Pure Lockers Explained and Workplace Lockers: The Complete Guide both go considerably deeper than this comparison does.

Final Thoughts

Cube, Pure and Staffroom aren't a three-way choice between different products, they're the same range applied to different rooms. Start from what's being stored and who's using the space, and the right configuration usually becomes obvious.
