Frequently Asked Questions
|
What are bathroom stall dividers made of?
School bathroom stall dividers are available in four main materials: plastic laminate (most economical), powder coated steel (durable and widely used), stainless steel (best for wet environments like locker rooms), and HDPE solid plastic (the most durable option, graffiti resistant and waterproof). For most K-12 schools, powder coated steel or HDPE solid plastic are the most popular choices due to their durability in high-traffic environments.

How much do school lockers cost?
School locker pricing varies significantly based on material, configuration, and quantity. Standard powder coated steel single-tier lockers typically range from $150 to $400 per unit, while premium phenolic or stainless steel lockers can range from $300 to $800 or more per unit. Volume discounts apply for larger projects. The best way to get accurate pricing for your project is to submit a quote request — we'll provide detailed pricing based on your specific requirements.

Can schools purchase lockers and restroom partitions through cooperative contracts?
Yes — and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with Shiffler. We offer Division 10 products through multiple cooperative purchasing contracts including Buyboard, TIPS, Sourcewell, and Omnia Partners. Purchasing through a cooperative contract eliminates the need for a competitive bid process in most states, saving your district significant time and administrative effort.

What is the difference between bathroom stall partitions and bathroom stall dividers?
Bathroom stall partitions and bathroom stall dividers refer to the same product — the panels, doors, and pilasters that create individual stalls in a restroom. The terms are used interchangeably in the industry. A complete partition system includes the panels (side walls), the door, the pilasters (floor-to-ceiling structural supports), and all associated hardware including hinges, latches, coat hooks, and bumpers.

How long does it take to get a locker or restroom partition project delivered?
Lead times vary by manufacturer and product type. Standard in-stock locker configurations typically ship within 2-4 weeks. Custom configurations and restroom partition systems typically have lead times of 4-8 weeks. We always confirm lead times at the time of quoting so you can plan your project timeline accordingly.
