How do gym lockers work?

Published in Gym Equipment 2 mins read

Gym lockers, at least those using roller dials as seen in the Planet Fitness Australia video, work by using a combination lock mechanism.

How to use a gym locker with roller dials:

Here's a breakdown of how to use these types of lockers based on the video:

  • Setting your code: Before closing the locker, you set your desired combination using the roller dials. This creates a unique code specific to your locker.
  • Securing the locker: Once you've set your code, you close the locker door.
  • Locking the door: You then turn the knob on the locker to the left. This engages the locking mechanism, keeping your belongings safe.
  • Unlocking the door: To unlock your locker, simply enter your code by turning each dial to the correct number of your combination, then turn the knob again to the left.
  • Scrambling the dials: To ensure your code remains secret, always scramble the dials after locking the locker. This conceals your combination from anyone who might be looking.

Key Takeaways:

  • Roller dials: Gym lockers using roller dials depend on a combination of numbers set by the user.
  • Turn to lock: The knob is usually turned to the left to engage the locking mechanism.
  • Scrambling is important: It's essential to scramble the dials to ensure your code remains private and prevents unauthorized access.
