• It is suggested that the lockers are setup in a space that is large enough to safely handle the cartons,
parts and accessories.
• Inspect the condition of the wall and oor where the lockers will be located.
If the wall is not straight, establish a reference line so that the fronts of all lockers will line up.
Also, determine the highest point on the oor, which will establish the leveled height of each row of lockers.

manufacturer's directions.
AirPro Locker Fastener Guidelines:
• If concrete, attachment should be 1/4" concrete wedge anchor no more than 16" apart.
• If wood stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by lag screws (1/4" minimum) into every stud.
• If metal stud-and-drywall construction, attachment should be by toggle bolt (1/4" minimum) into every stud.
• If poured concrete construction, attachment should be concrete wedge anchor spaced no more
than 24" apart.
Note: Each wall and oor connection must be rated for a minimum of 500 lb (227 kg) of tension.
Other fasteners may be used if the connection strength requirement is met.
