Start by measuring where the locker will live—width, depth, height, and doorway clearance for delivery. Then compare your measurements with the dimensions listed on each product page.

• Match sections to users: Home entryways often use 2–4-section kids coat lockers; classrooms and daycares may prefer 5–8 sections.
• Check hooks and cubbies: Look for at least one hook per child and enough cubbies for shoes, hats, and extras.
• Consider depth: Deeper compartments accommodate bulky backpacks and coats.
• Think features: Benches, mirrors, or casters can add convenience in tight spots.
• Plan wall space: Allow room to anchor for stability if recommended.

Both can work well—your choice depends on where and how it’s used.

• Wooden cubby lockers: Often feature open sections with hooks, benches, and smooth edges—great for preschool locker routines and quick grab-and-go in home entryways. They offer a warm look but may benefit from dry environments and gentle cleaning.
• Metal lockers: Typically provide doors, name card holders, and lockable storage—useful for older kids or shared spaces. They can handle frequent wipe-downs and secure personal items, though doors may add noise and need clearance to open.
• Hybrid needs: Mini lockers complement larger classroom coat lockers by storing small personal items.

Safe setup can help prevent tipping and keep traffic flowing smoothly.

• Anchor when recommended: If an anti-tip kit is included, follow the manufacturer instructions to secure to a wall stud. If not included, review guidance on compatible anchors.
• Level surface: Place on flat flooring; engage caster locks if the unit has wheels.
• Smart placement: Keep pathways clear and avoid positioning near heaters or damp areas.
• Load low to high: Store heavier items on lower cubbies to improve stability.
• Kid-friendly details: Rounded edges, non-slip mats, and age-appropriate heights can support safer daily use.

Routine, gentle care helps kids coat lockers and metal lockers look good longer.

• Wooden lockers: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap solution; dry immediately. Avoid soaking seams and skip harsh abrasives.
• Metal lockers: Use mild soap and water; dry to help minimize surface wear. Avoid abrasive pads; touch up scuffs with appropriate touch-up methods if recommended by the manufacturer.
• Hooks, bins, and mats: Remove and wipe accessories separately; ensure everything is dry before reloading.
• Acrylic mirrors: Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a gentle, ammonia-free cleaner.
• Hardware check: Periodically tighten screws and check hinges or latches for smooth operation.

Options vary by item, but there are a few paths to try.

• Check the product page: Look for downloadable manuals or parts notes. Some listings reference anti-tip kits, extra hooks, or hardware packs.
• Use your order details: In your Walmart account, find the item and contact the seller or manufacturer via the support info provided on the page.
• Match by model: Keep the model number handy to request compatible parts.
• Stay safe: Use manufacturer-specified parts when available. If you consider universal hooks or bins, verify fit and weight limits in the manual.
• Alternative: If parts aren’t available, review return or replacement options shown on your order.
