Many things distinguish our lockers from those of our competitors. These include:

1. GearGrid lockers are manufactured in the USA with ASTM spec materials. Our competitors' lockers are manufactured off-shore with unknown spec materials.
2. GearGrid lockers are made with 3" square grids for easy shelf and accessory adjustments. Our competitors use diagonal grids, making hanging and moving shelves more difficult.
3. GearGrid lockers come with a back wall panel for additional storage, mounting space, wall protection, and security. Our competitors only offer back wall panels at an additional cost.
4. GearGrid's top and bottom rails span sections of 2-3 openings for greater support and durability. Our competitors' locker rails are constructed in single openings, requiring more hardware joints.
5. GearGrid lockers are finished with a durable TGIC powder coat for UV stability. Our competitors use a standard epoxy finish that is not UV stable and can “chalk” over time.
6. GearGrid's apparel hooks snap easily into place—and stay there. Our competitors use flimsy hooks that slip over the grids, leading to accidental detachments.
7. GearGrid mobile lockers come with 4 swivel casters and secure locking capabilities. Our competitors only offer two swivel casters for decreased mobility.
