ProGuard Series
Single-Tier Tenant Storage Lockers
One full-height compartment gives residents flexible vertical storage behind an individual door.
Open The Doors. See The Difference
Use the uninterrupted compartment height for taller belongings. Check the usable door opening and the way residents will move items along the aisle before choosing a size.
ProGuard lockers give each resident an individual, lockable space within a shared storage room. Angle-framed mesh panels form the enclosure, with adjoining bays sharing dividers where the layout permits.

Sizes & Planning
Standard height is 7′ 6″. Typical nominal widths are 3′, 4′, 5′, and 6′, with 3′, 4′, and 5′ depths. Custom dimensions are reviewed against the room plan. Nominal size does not guarantee a particular clear door opening or internal storage dimension.
Show the room entrances, door swings, shared aisles, columns, overhead services, and any equipment that needs access. A workable layout balances compartment count with the way the room will actually be used.

Wire Mesh & Welded Construction
Standard ProGuard tenant lockers use 10-gauge wire with a 2″ × 2″ square welded pattern. There are two different weld relationships to understand: the intersections within the mesh, and the attachment of that mesh to its steel frame.
Welded Wire Close-Up
Inside The Angle Frame
01 / Mesh-To-Frame Weld
The wire mesh lies against the flat leg of the angle. Welds secure the mesh to that supporting steel surface, tying the infill to the surrounding frame. The orange marks in the detail identify these attachment locations.
02 / Overlapping Wire Layers
Horizontal and vertical wires stay straight. One direction sits over the other, and the wires are welded at the crossings. This is square welded mesh; it is not a woven or lockcrimp pattern.
03 / Inside Angle Leg
The second leg of the angle projects into the locker. This gives the perimeter its L-shaped section and leaves the mesh supported along the frame. The close-up shows the inside of the panel.
The enlarged illustration explains the construction relationship. Highlighted weld locations are illustrative, not a weld-size or spacing schedule. Final fabrication follows the approved product and project details.
Choosing Another Infill
Selected woven-wire patterns, heavier wire, expanded metal, and sheet-steel infill may be reviewed for a project. Start with the opening size, visibility, separation, and finish requirements. Changing infill can affect the frame and overall assembly; confirm the complete combination with NWW.
Compare Wire Mesh & Infill Options
Standard construction remains 10-gauge, 2″ × 2″ welded wire. Other patterns and infill are quoted to suit the project; confirm the exact opening, wire size, finish, and component compatibility.

Framing & Panel Connections
Standard angle members are 1¼″ × 1¼″ × ⅛″ steel. Each component has a specific framing arrangement. A return, back panel, and door are not interchangeable four-sided boxes.
Front Return
A 2-inch vertical flat sits at the aisle-facing edge between the door frames. The top, bottom, and rear use angle. These panels form the sides and shared dividers at the front of a run.
Back Return
Deeper arrangements can continue with a back return. It uses angle on all four sides and joins the front return angle-to-angle. It does not have a second front-edge flat.
Back Panels Are Different From Back Returns
A back panel closes the rear of the locker. It uses top and bottom angle members and 2-inch vertical flats. Adjacent back-panel flats overlap at the connection; the final overlap and fastening detail are coordinated for the approved layout.
Slotted Connections & Hardware
Slotted framing connections give the assembly its mounting locations. The NWW construction model uses carriage-bolt and KEP-nut connections. The domed head, square neck, threaded shank, and nut are separate physical parts in the new 3D view.
Panel slots and door hardware preparation serve different purposes. Return-panel mounting slots are not a blanket instruction to punch the door leaves. Fastener length and joint grip follow the actual combination of members.
Doors, Hinges & Access
The Door Is Its Own Assembly
A moving angle-framed mesh leaf sits within a fixed four-sided door frame, or buck. Three spun-pin hinges support each door. The lock preparation and stops complete the access arrangement.
In a double-tier unit, upper and lower leaves operate separately. Each compartment has its own door and access point. The model separates the opening angles so both leaves remain visible.
Show The Handing On The Plan
Locate the hinges and latch relative to the aisle, room entrance, and adjacent doors. A door needs room to swing without blocking the route residents use to carry belongings.
The 3D demonstration uses a representative right-hinged arrangement. It is a visual explanation; final handing, clear opening, lock selection, and hardware positions belong on the approved drawings.
Finishes
Paint Finishes
Standard electrostatic enamel finishes are Battleship Gray and Jet Black. Ask about a project color when the lockers need to coordinate with the building.
Color swatches are illustrative. Use an approved physical sample for the final selection.
Powder Coat & Galvanizing
Powder Coat
Specify the desired color and service environment. Available colors and preparation are reviewed for the project.
Hot-Dip Galvanized
An option for compatible steel assemblies when the exposure calls for it. Tell us where the lockers will be installed.
Galvanized + Powder Coat
A combined finish can be reviewed with the required surface preparation, color, and coating specification. Confirm the complete process before ordering.
Layout & Component Drawings
See each component up close. Select a drawing to open the larger original from the NWW tenant locker drawing library.
Back Panels
Framed mesh closes the rear of a freestanding locker or a run without a suitable existing wall. Top and bottom angles meet the vertical connection flats.
Ceiling Panels
The drawing shows the mesh ceiling and its supporting angles. Include tops where the project requires a fully enclosed compartment.
Mid-Shelf / Tier Divider
The horizontal divider separates the upper and lower compartments of a double-tier locker. Review shelf material and support requirements with the layout.
Fixed Front Panels
Fixed mesh panels fill the frontage beside a door. This CAD detail omits some mesh so the angle frame, slots, and connections can be seen.
Stiffener Top Channel
The manual’s Detail H shows the slotted top channel used to stiffen the assembly. Coordinate channel locations with the approved layout.
Padlock Hasp
A padlock hasp secures the door to the buck. Confirm the locking arrangement and door handing before fabrication.
Optional Marks Lockset
An alternative lock preparation for projects that require a lockset. Specify the access and keying requirements with your quote request.
Starter And Add-On Layouts
A starter establishes the first complete locker opening. Add-on bays share adjoining dividers. Ends, existing walls, corners, and changes in depth determine the remaining returns and closures. Count resident compartments separately from bays: a double-tier bay has two compartments.
Assembly & Wall Connections
These original NWW drawings show how the separate pieces meet. They supplement the 3D preview; use the approved project drawings to confirm dimensions, fasteners, and anchorage for your installation.
Return Panel To Wall
The wall connection closes the end of the locker run. Anchor selection depends on the actual wall construction and project requirements.
Door Buck And Return
The prehung door buck connects to the return panel. The assembly drawing shows their relationship before the rest of the run is added.
Larger Locker Assemblies
Larger layouts combine front panels, returns, doors, and shared dividers to fit the room.

Common Planning Questions
Can You Make Custom Sizes?
Yes. Custom widths, depths, heights, and mixed arrangements can be reviewed from your room layout. Standard nominal dimensions are a starting point; clear openings and usable space depend on the final construction.
Do All Lockers Need Back And Top Panels?
No. An approved existing wall may serve as the back. Tops, backs, and other closures depend on the arrangement and project requirements; identify them on the quote and drawings.
Can Single And Double Tiers Share A Room?
Yes. A mixed layout can accommodate different storage needs. Identify the compartment count and sizes so the shared panels, doors, and access can be coordinated.
What Should I Measure Before Asking For A Quote?
Record room lengths, usable height, entrances and swings, columns, pipes, ducts, equipment access, and changes in floor level. Photos help explain conditions a plan may not show.
Can The Layout Work Around Pipes Or Columns?
Show the obstruction location and size on the plan. NWW can review a suitable layout or project-specific detail; keep required service and maintenance access clear.
