Your Lockers and the New £1 Coin

The new £1 coin entered circulation on 28^th March 2017. The round £1 coin will cease to be legal tender after 15^th October 2017, so be sure to spend yours before then. However, if you do find any after 15^th October, you can still return them to your bank.

Any coin handling equipment should be updated to accept the new £1 by then. This includes a wide array of products including vending machines, parking meters, shopping trolleys and lockers.

If your business operates coin return or retain lockers, you may be wondering what your options are:

1. If you have bought the lockers recently, they will already have a coin lock that is compatible with both the old and the new £1 coin.
2. Have the locks on your lockers replaced – ideal for lockers that don’t need replacing yet and a cost-saving option.
3. Provide your customers with tokens that are compatible with the £1 coin lock. Branded promotional tokens are also a great opportunity for promoting your business.
4. If your lockers are due an upgrade, now is a great time to invest in new lockers for your business.

We offer a wide range of lockers suitable for all environments, including schools, leisure centres and industrial workplaces:

• School lockers
• Laptop charging lockers
• Cube lockers
• Plastic lockers
• Executive and golf lockers
• Personnel lockers
