Locker Types and Lock Types
Lockers Types need to be created before lockers, locks, locker assignments and any other locker management task can be completed. Lock Types already exist but can be added to if additional types of locks are needed.
Locker types allow users to group and identify lockers based on the locker use within the school.The creation of locker types is a two-part process:
- Part 1 - The attribute detail record needs to be reviewed for proper district use.
- Part 2 - The dictionary items, or types of lockers) need to be created.
Modifying the Campus Attribute Detail is an option for districts. The locker process will work without modification to this area.
Locker types are used when finding lockers or when creating new lockers, and when generating locker reports.

Adding Custom Locker Types
The Student Summary tool displays Academic Locker information based on the code of ED assigned to the locker type. If this code is modified, locker information does not display on the Summary Tab.
Add Lock Types
Two lock types are already available in the Attribute Dictionary.
- BL - Built into Locker
- PD - Pad Lock
These lock types are assigned to locks and are used to track combinations for lockers. No additional lock types should be needed. If there is a situation where these two types do not meet the needs of the district, follow the procedures above for adding additional dictionary items.
