Sourcing lockers from China or manufacturing them locally

What you can source from China

Common searches on Alibaba and AliExpress include China parcel lockers, smart parcel locker manufacturer, China food lockers and glass-door meal pickup lockers, refrigerated and frozen collection lockers, China storage lockers and self-storage units, luggage lockers, smart key lockers, and sports or racket rental lockers. Many listings offer custom sizes, colours, outdoor canopies, touchscreens and branding.

Ask each supplier for compartment dimensions, steel thickness or board specification, lock type, controller board protocol, power and network requirements, outdoor rating where relevant, certificates, lead time, shipping terms and spare parts. Request samples or a factory video before a large order.

Manufacture lockers locally

MFC manufacturers, joiners, carpenters and interior fit-out companies already build lockers for offices, gyms, schools and residential buildings. They can match the finish of a lobby or shop and fit awkward spaces. They then install electronic locks and a lock controller board inside the cabinet, which reports every door open and close back to the back office.

Local build can shorten lead times, simplify repairs and avoid import costs, and is often preferred by building owners who want lockers to blend with their interior.

One software platform for every locker

LockerLauncher's ecosystem is designed to talk to different locker hardware. The back office controls a site computer, a touchscreen app and the lock controller, so imported, local and existing lockers can be managed together. Compatibility is confirmed for each lock and controller before you order — share the supplier's specification with us first.

Budget for the full landed cost

The listed price is not the full cost. Add shipping, insurance, import duty and VAT or sales tax, customs clearance, delivery to site, installation, electrical work and spares. Check the commodity code and duty for your country before ordering, and confirm the product meets local safety and electrical rules.

Checklist before you order

Confirm the location and service first, then the compartment sizes you need. Share the lock and controller specification with us for a compatibility check. Get a written quote showing the full landed cost. Agree warranty, spare parts and who installs. Start with a pilot quantity before scaling to more sites.
